    Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha breaks down as she shares life-changing health diagnosis

    Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha shared with ITV viewers she has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

    Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha has opened up for the first time about receiving a diagnosis for a ‘life-changing condition’ during an interview on the ITV daytime programme.

    The 57-year-old former soap star told the panel she has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), during Thursday’s episode.

    The mum-of-two pre-recorded a segment about ADHD for the show, as she told viewers she had been living with the condition since childhood unbeknownst to her.

    Nadia spoke to an ADHD specialist as she described her symptoms, which are characterised by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.

    She said: “I couldn’t sit quietly without noise, I have to have something on to relax. Years ago I gave myself a lifetime ban on driving and the reason I give is, I lose consciousness.

    “Everyone gets annoyed about this, saying I should pull myself together.” Nadia was then overcome with emotion as she continued: “But actually the thought that I could…”

    At the end of the assessment the ADHD specialist confirmed Nadia’s diagnosis and said: “The symptoms you exhibit are consistent with ADHD.”

    Back in the live studio, Nadia was applauded for her honest segment and spoke more about the condition, which her husband Mark Adderley also lives with.

    She told her fellow panellists of her past compulsive eating, saying: “The point is you are very high risk of addictive behaviour. It’s not just silly people running around doing silly things.”

    Nadia said she had also started a course of medication and hopes to one day be able to drive without losing concentration.

    She said: “If any of this resonates with you, just investigate it a bit further because I am now finding out so much stuff. I have now started medication and things are really changing.”

    Viewers praised the star for sharing her journey and one penned on Twitter : “So proud of you Nadia.”

    The show returned to ITV on Thursday after several days off air to make way for the ITV coverage of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

    ITV took Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women off air in a schedule shake-up to make way for the World Cup group stage matches.

    Both ITV and BBC will be seeing huge changes to their usual TV schedules to make way for the games as the broadcasters team up to cover the matches live from the Middle East.

    Jenny Powell, 54, who left the show in 2005 but has since appeared as a guest, hit out at the ITV daytime show as she explained her reasons for “sacking it off”

    Jenny Powell has revealed she quit Loose Women, claiming she felt “intimidated” by her fellow panellists.

    The presenter, 54, who left the show in 2005 but has since appeared as a guest, hit out at the ITV daytime show as she explained her reasons for “sacking it off”.

    Now, Jenny says it wasn’t one happy family behind-the-scenes and there was a bad energy brewing between the panellists at the time she decided to leave the show.

    The TV star was on the programme with the likes of Coleen Nolan, Carol McGiffin, Kaye Adams and Ruth Langsford in the early 2000s, but didn’t give away any names when she spilled all on her time there.

    “I sacked it off. I didn’t like the energy behind the scenes,” she said to The Sun.

    “I always felt a bit intimidated of the other women. Maybe I’m just a bit sensitive.”

    Mirror Online has contacted ITV for comment.

    Jenny isn’t the only one to hit out at the programme which focuses on a panel of four female presenters who interview celebrities, talk about aspects of their lives and discuss topical issues.

    Last month, Saira Khan revealed the real reason she quit the show – claiming bosses tried to make her join soft porn site OnlyFans as a PR stunt.

    Saira, 52, told how the “shocking” request was the final straw in what she alleges was a string of desperate bids to get publicity for the ITV programme as ratings slipped.

    She revealed how she was also asked to have a mould made of her vagina for a Body Stories campaign.

    “To say I was shocked was an understatement,” Saira added. “I could see she herself was mortified to ask me. I replied, ‘You’re asking an Asian woman who has a husband and kids and comes from a Muslim family to open an OnlyFans account?’”

    A spokesman for Loose Women said: “We strongly refute all of these claims. Duty of care is of paramount importance for all of our panellists. Saira left the panel almost two years ago and we wish her well.”

  • I’m A Celeb’s Charlene stokes feud rumours with co-star swipe in first look at show special

    I’m A Celeb’s Charlene stokes feud rumours with co-star swipe in first look at show special

    The I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here Coming Out Show will follow each celebrity after they were voted out in an ITV1 special with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly

    I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here star Charlene White is set to take a swipe at fellow campmate Matt Hancock in tomorrow evening’s Coming Out show.

    Though all of the celebrity campmates have now departed the Australian jungle, fans of the ITV reality show can still look forward to one more episode.

    The 2022 Coming Out Show will follow each celebrity after they were voted out and returned to civilisation in an ITV1 special with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

    A first look at the special on Thursday night sees Loose Women host Charlene reacting to being the first celebrity booted from the Australian jungle.

    It is revealed that the first person the newsreader rang after her elimination was her dad, who comments that he thought former Health Secretary Matt Hancock would have been the booted first out.

    Taking a dig, Charlene replies: “It turns out I’m less popular than Matt Hancock, dad, who knew?!”

    This comes amid swirling rumours of a feud among this year’s line-up of celebrities, particularly given that a number of stars have failed to follow the West Suffolk MP on social media.

    Yet Ant and Dec have declared I’m A Celebrity 2022 ‘the best series for years’ and admitted the inclusion of Matt Hancock was ‘interesting’.

    Asked about the series, Ant said: “Yeah it was the best for years. Loved it. Absolutely loved it.

    “A good winner in Jill, she is great isn’t she? I think her or Owen, he would have really loved the win, but we were all really happy she won and would have been if it was vice versa.”

    Dec added: “They were a really great bunch. There was lots of laughs, I love George and Seann and Babatunde and I just thought there was a really lovely bunch this year.”

    Quizzed about Matt Hancock, Dec said: “Yeah, well that was an interesting one, wasn’t it? Yeah, he did very well in there. Obviously coming third.”

    Asked if he was nervous about interviewing him, he added: “It was a bit of a different one, but no, not very nervous because, you know, it was all within the context of the show. So yeah, that was really interesting.”

    Ant would not be drawn on his opinions about MP Hancock, who was paid a reported £400,000.

  • Coleen Nolan struggled with self-worth and pushed ex away for loving her too much

    Coleen Nolan struggled with self-worth and pushed ex away for loving her too much

    Loose Women star Coleen Nolan opened up about love and her self-worth today as she admitted she pushed her ex away because he loved her ‘too much’

    Coleen Nolan says she pushed her ex boyfriend away because he loved her “too much”.

    The Loose Women star – whose last public romance was with boyfriend Michael, who she met on Tinder – opened up about her love life on the ITV show, getting emotional as she discussed past relationships, her self-worth and how it was all linked. Coleen explained to her fellow panellists on the ITV lunchtime show that she got the ‘ick’ when her ex loved her too hard.

    Coleen says she’s a big fan of love, but has always given too much in relationships, until her ex came along and treated her well. She inferred that relationship has massively helped her realise her self-worth.

    As the panellists discussed if you can ever be too in love, Coleen admitted: “I love love, I love being in love. I fall in love really quickly and then obviously, later on in life, the last three or four years, I’ve been single and I’ve always loved them more than they loved me in my relationships. I’ve always given too much. I’ve always excused their behaviour.

    “I’ve always excused their faults or their ick. And this time around, I met somebody who loved me probably more than I’ve ever been loved and I pushed him away a lot because I kept thinking, ‘why are you doing that? That’s giving me the ick.’”

    Coleen also admitted that her self-worth was affected because of the way people treated her.

    She added: “It took me such a long time to learn, because I kept going back to the type of guys who didn’t love me as much as I loved them – it took me a long time to accept I was worth being love like that.

    “I opened myself up to it and said, he loves me because he thinks I’m worth it.”

    It comes after Coleen admitted she refuses to settle – and wants to find a partner who is completely “right” for her.

I won’t just meet someone and settle for that because I’m getting older and I might not meet someone else. If it’s not right, I don’t want it.”

    Coleen and her ex Michael split quietly in April after meeting on dating app Tinder.

    A spokesperson for Coleen said: “Coleen and Michael are no longer together but remain great friends and are on good terms.” Sources claimed the “spark fizzled out in the end” for the pair, who were together for just over a year.

  • Linda Robson bans daughters from cosmetic surgery amid ‘dreadful’ lip filler craze

    Linda Robson bans daughters from cosmetic surgery amid ‘dreadful’ lip filler craze

    Loose Women panelist Linda Robson has lifted the lid on her thoughts about having cosmetic procedures done, insisting that the lip filler trend is ‘dreadful’

    Linda Robson has revealed that she has banned her daughters from ever undergoing cosmetic surgery or procedures.

    The Loose Women star, 64, shared her distaste for lip fillers during Tuesday’s instalment of the ITV panel show as the loose ladies got to grips with how the trend of changing ones appearance has become so normalised in today’s society with the use of Botox and fillers.

    Discussing whether or not they would announce if they had work done if they ever go under the knife, Linda insisted that even if she wanted to splurge some cash on anti-wrinkle injections or fillers she wouldn’t be able to go through with it, because it would be setting a bad example for her girls.

    Linda, who is proud mum to daughters Lauren, 39, and Roberta, 26, said that she was proud of her girls for never choosing to alter their looks with the use of Botox or fillers – insisting that it’s difficult to say no to beauty enhancements amid the impossible beauty standards of today.

    Sharing her thoughts on the trend of lip fillers, Linda told her fellow panellist Coleen Nolan: “I do think it’s up to the individual. But I’ve got a girl who comes around to mine and does my lashes for me. Sometimes she would offer to give me Botox while she’s there, and I thought about it for a minute.”

    “But then I thought, ‘if I have Botox, then my girls – who talk about having their lips done all the time – would get it done’. Because I couldn’t stop them from doing anything to their faces if I had done something to mine,” she added.

    “The lip fillers though, I find them absolutely dreadful, I really do. I see so many young girls who are 16 and 17 and they have their lips done and it looks absolutely ridiculous. These are beautiful girls, who don’t need these fillers,” Linda continued.

    Following her revelation, Loose Women viewers flocked to Twitter to share their thoughts.

    “I couldn’t agree more with Linda. Every single young woman looks the same now. They all have huge lips and huge eyelashes. There’s no individuality,” one complained.

    A third disagreed: “I don’t think it’s right to paint every woman with the same brush. Some women have these procedures to fix their self-esteem, not just because it’s a trend. And not all lip filler procedures have to make them ‘huge’.

    EastEnders star Charlie Brooks ‘loves’ that she’s leaving BBC soap for a grown-up job

    Lifting the lid on her most recent exit from EastEnder s, Janine Butcher actress Charlie Brooks insisted that she’s happy to depart the BBC One soap

    EastEnders star Charlie Brooks delighted fans when she appeared on Loose Women this afternoon.

    The Janine Butcher actress, 41, is sadly leaving the soap again after causing much havoc on Albert Square this year, and although fans will be sad to see her depart the BBC One soap, Charlie said that she’s more than happy to move on.

    It will mark Charlie’s fourth time leaving the soap as Janine since her first day on set back in 1999.

    How Janine will exit the show remains to be seen, but earlier this year, viewers saw her strike up a romance with Mick Carter, played by Danny Dyer.

    Scheming Janine announced she was pregnant with Mick’s baby in front of his shell-shocked ex-wife Linda Carter.

    Both Mick and Janine are both due to leave the soap this year, so viewers will have to wait to see what big storylines EastEnders bosses have in store this Christmas as actress Charlie insisted that she wasn’t giving any clues away during her appearance on Loose Women.

    Lifting the lid on her most recent exit after Loose Women star Linda Robson quizzed the actress on whether she feels sad saying goodbye to EastEnders again, Charlie insisted that she’s happy to depart the BBC One soap.

    “I love going back to EastEnders and I love leaving, but I’m doing something really exciting at the moment. I’m working with the National Theatre. We’re taking a production of The Ocean At The End Of The Lane on tour and I’m loving it,” Charlie shared.

    “I obviously love Janine and I love EastEnders, but I am excited for pastures new and a grown-up job.”

    Charlie is waving goodbye to EastEnders just 18-months after her dramatic return.

    Back in September, Charlie announced that she would not be staying in character for much longer as she revealed her departure.

    At the time, she said: “I was only ever due back to EastEnders for a year, but when [executive producer] Chris Clenshaw presented me with his idea for the story, I couldn’t say no to staying a little longer.

    Charlie first played Janine in 1999 before leaving in 2004 when her character was charged with the murder of Laura Beale.

    She then returned in 2008 for her father’s funeral before taking off for Paris in 2014. Her most recent return came in 2021 when she arrived back on the Square trying to win back her daughter Scarlett, who’d been taken into care.

    Her final scenes are expected to air over the New Year period.

    Loose Women’s Janet slams ‘vindictive’ timing of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix show

    Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter spoke about the latest full-length trailer for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle upcoming Netflix documentary series

    Janet Street-Porter slammed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to release the trailer for their Netflix documentary series during Prince William and Kate’s tour of the US.

    The journalist discussed the full-length trailer during Tuesday morning’s Loose Women on the panel alongside Coleen Nolan, Frankie Bridge and host Charlene White.

    The explosive trailer, which was released last night and is set to drop in full on the streaming giant later this week, saw Prince Harry tell the Netflix cameras of ‘dirty games’ at work within the Royal Family, as he spoke of the ‘leaking’ and ‘planting’ of stories to the media.

    In the ITV studio, Charlene asked whether the divisive response to the trailer could prove to be an overreaction given that nobody has watched the multiple series yet.

    Frankie said the trailer could prove to be an overreaction

    Frankie agreed as she replied: “We don’t know what they’re going to say. We all know that trailers and things like that can make something sound really controversial.”

    However, Janet then cut in to say: “They have okayed that trailer,” before she turned to Frankie and said: “Sorry to interrupt you. I feel so strongly.”

    She continued: “The passion they seem to feel about telling their story led them to release the first trailer during his brother’s very important tour of America. That to me is just a vindictive act. They could have waited.”

    Coleen then suggested: “Maybe they think what his brother or his father are doing is vindictive as they’re not getting support.

    “He hasn’t had support really since Meghan came into his life.”

    Frankie then said: “Let’s be honest, it’s not going to do anything to the Royal Family. If all the alleged stuff with Prince Andrew didn’t bring them down, then I don’t feel this is going to.”

    The Loose Women studio then erupted into applause as Frankie celebrated and said: “I think that might be my first Loose Women clap! Don’t ruin it for me Janet!”

    It came after This Morning ’s Holly Willoughby exchanged heated words with ITV show guest Camilla Tominey on Tuesday during a debate about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ’s latest Netflix trailer.

    Camilla cut in to push back against the suggestion the couple faced media intrusion, asking the guests to name a ‘covert’ paparazzi shot taken of the couple in the UK which was then published in a national newspaper.

    Holly responded: “I do remember there were comparisons at the time between how Kate [Middleton] was being treated and how she was being.”

    Camilla then replied: “I know, but Holly, even the footage of Kate…,” before Holly cut in: “There was quite a difference there.”

    The pair continued to speak over each other before Holly insisted: “I’m saying this because I’m trying to offer another side to this, because I don’t like anyone who’s not here.”

    Linda Robson admits she keeps the ashes of her loved ones in her knicker drawer

    After fellow panellist Janet Street-Porter read out excerpts from her detailed diaries she kept as a girl, former Birds of a Feather actress Linda admitted she keeps hers in a drawer with her undies, along with her dead loved ones ashes

    Linda Robson got candid about where she keeps her most sacred possessions on today’s instalment of Loose Women.

    The panellist, 64, shared where she keeps her dead loved ones’ ashes as the loose ladies got candid about keeping diaries.

    Discussing Matt Hancock ’s bizarre career move to release his Covid-19 diaries as a book, the conversation turned to the panel’s childhood diaries.

    After fellow panellist Janet Street-Porter read out excerpts from her detailed diaries she kept as a girl, former Birds of a Feather actress Linda admitted she keeps hers in a drawer with her undies.

    Linda told how she’s always kept Filofaxes as her diaries and wrote down “everything” in them.

    But she then made a curious admission as to where she now keeps the old journals.

    Linda said: “I have a drawer full of Filofaxes. When I was quite young I started using a Filofax and writing everything down and I keep them in my knicker drawer along with the ashes.”

    Coleen Nolan looked at her co-star with a puzzled face, before hesitantly asking: “The ashes?”

    Linda replied: “Yeah, of everyone that’s died.

    “I put their ashes in my knicker drawer. I know they’re safe in there.”

    Her admission made the audience burst into laughter as Brenda Edwards struggled to contain herself and looked away from her co-star.

    Further bewildered, Coleen asked: “They’re safe in your knicker drawer?”

    Linda explained her logic: “Yeah, no one goes in my knicker drawer, only me.”

    Elsewhere on today’s show, things got “awkward” when Coleen admitted her guilt for not supporting her “best friend” Brenda.

    She confessed that she’s not going to watch Brenda perform in her pantomime, Snow White, tomorrow evening – despite a host of Loose panellists turning out to support the star.

    Coleen told how she had opted to go home to Cheshire while the other women on the panel were set to attend to support their friend and colleague.

    Loose Women star Jane Moore revealed she’s separating from her ‘best friend’, husband Gary Farrow, who she tied the knot with 2002, after more than 20 years of marriage live on Wednesday’s show

    Loose Women’s Jane Moore said her husband is still her ‘best friend’ as she announced their separation live on the ITV lunchtime show.

    The panellist, 60, married her husband Gary Farrow in 2002 and the two are parents to daughters Ellie and Grace. Jane is also step-mother to Gary’s elder daughter Lauren.

    But now, 20 years later, the TV star has revealed that she and Gary have decided to go their separate ways after more than twenty years together.

    Jane said the pair decided to split a year ago but held off proceedings after Gary broke his leg.

    The mum said they have decided to stay together for one last Christmas and will officially move on in the new year.

    Speaking on Wednesday’s Loose Women, Jane revealed: “So Gary and I are separating. But it’s weird that it’s out there [in public] because we’ve been processing it for about a year.

    “So we were sort of we’re still in the same house together. We’re still going to do Christmas together.”

    Jane added that her entire family knows about the split and things were ‘amicable’.

    “I have been sort of caring for him in that sense of the word,” she continued.

    Gary was still in his cell just hours before tying the knot and pleaded with officers to let him go.

    The top PR boss was eventually released, but Jane remained none the wiser until he revealed what had happened halfway through the day’s celebrations.

    Revealing all about the day’s mishaps, Jane previously discussed the ordeal openly on Loose Women.
