Loose Women panellist Kaye Adams has opened up on why she decided to get a tattoo dedicated to her mum after turning 60, and how she had a ‘wobble’ the night before getting the ink

Loose Women star Kaye Adams had vowed never to get a tattoo until a favourite saying of her late mum’s whenever she was asked her age – Over Twenty One – seemed the perfect way to celebrate turning 60.

But the TV and radio presenter admits her mother would have been horrified – if also just a wee bit chuffed – at the inking in her honour.

Kaye explains: “Although I’ve done it for her, the irony is she’d have absolutely killed me and told me to act my age!

“She is not going to be looking down and smiling, she’ll be shaking her fist, but I think it would be fake outrage and deep down she’d be proud too.”

The former Strictly Come Dancing star caused a stir on Instagram when she posted a photo of the tattoo.

Speaking about her decision, she says: “Every year, until I was 59, I said never, ever would I get a tattoo. I’m not a fan and I wouldn’t get a random one just for the hell of it – a bumble bee, a dolphin.

“But Over Twenty One suddenly popped into my head.”

Kaye was close to her parents, dad Duncan, who died in 2017, and mum Cathie, who passed away in 2018.

She says: “I’ve got one of my mum’s rings and it’s lovely, but it’s just not me. I sometimes look at it and feel quite guilty and almost disloyal and wish that I felt more of a connection with it.

“So, I guess the tattoo is a jewellery substitute – it’s very much a real reminder of Mum and makes me smile.”

Kaye had the tattoo done on her left forearm in her home town ­Glasgow, four weeks after turning the big 6-0 on December 28.

“I wanted it to look like a nice squiggle from a distance,” she explains. “I looked for a card from my mum to copy her handwriting. I couldn’t find anything right, but it’s still my mum’s joined-up handwriting style.

“The woman who did it couldn’t have been better, because it was so unlike a tattoo studio. This place had a piano in the waiting room and lovely prints.”

Even so, Kaye almost backed out the night before. She says: “I had a real wobble. I woke up in the night and thought, ‘Oh my God, what am I doing, this is ludicrous!’

“But then I thought that it’s good to do different things. I don’t want get stuck as I get older, I want to be able to change.”

Kaye, who is Loose Women’s longest presenter, began her own podcast How to be 60 last year. In it, she chats to famous names, from Robson Green and Denise Welch to Ken Bruce and Linda Robson, about how they dealt with the milestone birthday.

She says: “I set it up in anticipation, but it still works, because OK, I am now officially 60, but turning 60 is a journey in how you approach this stage of your life, it’s an ongoing conversation.”

Kaye also took part on Strictly last year, but was the first celebrity to be voted off the BBC One show alongside her dance partner Kai Widdrington.

“But it did knock my confidence for a while and I’m never going to put myself in that position again.

“[BBC One reality game] The Traitors is fantastic and I thought if they did a celebrity version, I’d love to do it, but I now realise I absolutely wouldn’t. It’s not natural to put ­yourself out for judgment by people who don’t know you.”

Kaye is filming a documentary for 100 Years of the BBC, but it is ITV ’s Loose Women for which she is best known.

“I really enjoy it and while it might give me up, I can’t imagine giving it up,” she smiles. “The show is about talking and sharing experiences and opinions. That’s never going to go out of fashion, so I don’t see any reason why Loose Women wouldn’t be there in 2050.”

There are rumours of backstage rows between presenters, but Kaye insists they are hugely exaggerated.

“We are constantly being asked – have we fallen out, who won’t work with who?” she says. “It’s tedious and keeps us in this mindset that women can’t get on, women are bitchy. It’s a harmful ­narrative and it’s not true.”

Her media career began at Central Television in the 1980s when she bagged an interview with then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

She was only 26 when she landed a role on ­Scotland Today. Although a regular on our screens, she admits her younger self would have been ­disappointed she didn’t go on to even greater success.

“I was very ambitious and wanted to conquer the world and be the biggest thing ever,” she says. “Something like Newsnight would have been a real aspiration and ­something like Oprah Winfrey’s show.

“But what you see at 25 as being the pinnacle isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It’s not about specifics anymore, it’s about doing projects I find exciting and working with people that I enjoy working with.”

Having reached 60, one of Kaye’s ambitions is to carve out more time for herself, but she says it is not easy.

“I lost the clear distinction between work and time away from work years ago,” she says. “Mum and Dad never had it either – they ran their own haulage business – so the prospect of working less is hugely daunting.”

Kaye, who lives with her partner, tennis coach Ian Campbell, and their daughters Charly, 20, and Bonnie, 16, also wonders what impact it would have. “I think that will be huge for my ­relationship with Ian, although I don’t think it will be huge for Ian, because he’s got a lovely life,” she reflects.

“If I suddenly become more available, that’s not going to be fair on him. I’m usually in London a couple of days a week. He’s been wonderful about that, but he’s created his own life.

“We do thankfully still enjoy each other’s company, so we’re not like ­flatmates, but he’s not sitting waiting for me to come home. He’s got lots of things going on.”

Studying Spanish is one ambition as is learning the piano, having bought a baby grand when she was 24. “I said at the time, ‘In my retirement I’m going to learn to play the piano’,” she laughs.

Until this year Kaye obsessively hid her age, even lying about it to her own daughter. She believes she inherited her age phobia from her mum, but is glad to have finally come clean.

Kaye says she’s less of a prisoner ‘of my own insecurities’ (

“I feel less of a prisoner of my own insecurities, so that feels like quite a positive thing,” she says.

“And because I’m not so obsessed with the number, it does make me focus more on getting the most out of day-to-day life.

“Like the tattoo, I really hope there will be other things that I do that are out of character or unpredictable.”

Loose Women star Denise Welch has sparked fury amongst viewers of the show over comments she made about Nicola Bulley during the ITV programme

Loose Women star Denise Welch has sparked fury amongst fans of the ITV show over comments she made about Nicola Bulley.

The search for the 45-year-old missing mum has entered its 14th day and there is still no clear proof of what happened to her. She vanished while on a dog walk on January 27 after dropping off her two young children at school in St Michaels on Wyre, Lancashire.

Her phone was found on a bench overlooking the river and Willow had been left wandering nearby. Investigators are keeping an open mind about what might of happened, with speculation growing day by day on social media.

Police have urged people not to take the laws in their own hands or speculate on social media after her disappearance, but during a chat on Loose Women, panellist Denise sparked fury with her comments, as fans questioned why.

Speaking about the case, she said: “This is the problem, we’ve created globally all of these armchair detectives. And I am partly responsible because I’ve made no bones of the fact that in my mind I’m the ‘Crime Minister’.

“You know I’m obsessed with true life crime. When I was young and you had the news at 6pm and a couple of newspapers, all of these things went on and you didn’t know very much about it. But now we see it played out in real life and Lincoln and I are responsible for it because we know now, well we think we know, a lot about forensics.”

Denise admits she was guilty of doing the same the other day, and speculated herself.

“I was guilty of the other day, screaming at the television: ‘Why are people walking along that area? That should still be a crime scene. That should still be evidence.’ Then I thought hang on a minute, there’s obviously a reason why they haven’t kept that,” she added.

“But you think that you know because you watch so many crime shows.”

Frustrated viewers took to social media to fume over the comments.

“So ‘don’t speculate about this case’ has been what ITV has said ALL Morning all throughout their programmes, while they sit there doing exactly that – speculating,” one wrote, as another added: “Why are Loose Women allowed to talk about it and we’re not?”
Another wrote: ” “Also there has to be some speculation; how is Nicola going to be found if theories are being ruled out because they make people uncomfortable to consider #LooseWomen.”

Lead investigator Superintendent Sally Riley previously urged people not to “take the law into their own hands” or “do anything that would thwart” the investigation as wild speculation has grown on social media on what might have happened to Nicola.

Urging people not to speculate, Supt Riley added: “Nor is it helpful if people, particularly if they come from outside the area, take it upon themselves to take the law into their own hands by trying to, for example, break into empty property.”

Saira Khan was a Loose Women pannelist on the ITV chat show from 2015 until 2021 – when she shocked fans as she announced she was quitting the daytime programme

Saira Khan was a fan favourite on the Loose Women panel as she appeared on the ITV daytime chat show with her strong opinions and eloquent ways of debating tricky topics.

Viewers of the show were left surprised when Saira, 52, announced her decision to quit the ITV daytime show in 2021.

At the time, Saira claimed she made the difficult decision after the coronavirus pandemic sparked her to reassess her priorities.

In her column with the Mirror, Saira explained the pandemic “certainly made me assess my priorities, values and how I want to move forward with my life”.

However, since leaving Saira has continued to spill on her time on the show and her reasons for leaving.

Saira is preparing to join Eamonn Holmes on his GB News Breakfast show and will co-host the programme every Monday and Tuesday with former This Morning star Eamonn, 63.

Eamonn announced the news as he posted a photo of the pair smiling widely and wrote: ” Your Mon/Tues line up on GB Breakfast.

“Looking forward to hooking up with one of my best friends Saira Khan.

“We will be your presenting duo. Expect the unexpected 6 – 9.30 am,” he teased.

As Saira gears up for her new role, we take a look at the reasons why she left Loose Women…

‘Life changing’ decision

After claiming the pandemic spurred her to throw in the towel in her column with the Mirror, Saira said her time on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins also sparked her to make the “life changing” decision.

Channel 4)
Explaining her reason for leaving the show, Saira said SAS: Who Dares Wins taught her to “depend upon herself”.

She told The Sun : “I did take big drastic steps. I left Loose Women and, interestingly, Andrea McLean left Loose Women after doing SAS. It changes your life. You realise you’ve got to cut through the s**t and start living.

“When you’re stripped of everything as a naked woman all you have to depend upon is yourself.

“That’s very telling, very strong and most people will never experience that.”

‘Toxic’ row and OnlyFans claims

In October last year, Saira claimed she quit the show after bosses tried to make her join OnlyFans, which is a subscription site where people share adult content to their paid followers.

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

Saira claimed she got a ‘shocking’ request from the show’s staff

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

The TV star told the Mirror: Saira said: “The straw that broke the camel’s back was when one of the young producers was sent running after me to ask whether I would be prepared to open an OnlyFans account”

“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?’

“She said, ‘It’s just on your social media you’ve been posting images in your underwear and we thought if you could go undercover to see the kind of response you get from men, it would make a great story’.

Saira said she felt ‘humiliated’ by the request
“There and then, I knew my time was up on the show. I felt humiliated, angry, disappointed and like fodder.”

However, a spokesperson for Loose Women denied the claims. They 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.”

A source added: “Loose Women Investigates is a strand which has seen reports into a range of topics. Sites such as OnlyFans could always potentially be the subject of an investigation. The Body Stories campaign tackled the taboo of vagina dysmorphia back in 2017. Saira was not involved in this campaign.

“We were told Saira was leaving to focus on her ‘businesses and online’ and that ‘she has nothing but good things to say about the show’.

“We are therefore surprised to hear these claims.”

Tensions between the Loose Women

After leaving the show, Saira revealed the panellists aren’t as friendly as they appear on screen.

When asked who out of the Loose Women panel she’d stay friends with, Saira said: “You make friends with some people, you tolerate some people, and some people you just have to do the job with.”

But, she deflected when grilled on names, replying: “I’m not going to go into the nitty gritty there now. There are some friends, people I will be close to because we get each other.

“And there are some I really don’t miss at all, who I was just like, ‘I just have to tolerate you to do the job.’”

Saira went on: “You have to be professional about it. You can’t pretend that everyone is going to be your best friend. Especially on a show with different opinions, you’re not going to tolerate everybody’s opinion.

“That’s fine. That’s not a problem, just do it with respect and you have to be open minded.”

She added: “Sometimes I’d go in with an opinion and someone would say something different to me and I’d think “Do you know what I never saw it from that point of view!’”

Following her comments, it was revealed Saira didn’t follow Nadia Sawalha or Kaye Adams.

She also added in a chat: “It was a mixture of things. Firstly, I’d outgrown the programme. There were some women that I just thought, “I’ve got to just tolerate you to do the job and in real life you wouldn’t be my friend.”

“They’d say the same about me. Plus, I shared a lot about myself on that show – my abuse, adoption, arranged marriage and a lot of relationship stuff. You don’t get a lot of thanks for that. My family hasn’t asked to be related to someone famous but I felt like I was putting them into a precarious situation.”

Online trolling

Saira also revealed how the trolling on social media was a motivation for leaving the programme.

The former panelist previously said: “You’re on there discussing a subject with your friends in a very innocent way, but the amount of trolling you get online is horrendous.

“It just becomes toxic for women. It’s a show for women but I don’t feel like it empowered me.”

After walking away Saira revealed she was subjected to much less trolling as she said: “Yes, 100%. I feel much more confident. I feel like on my social media platforms they know me, they get me.

“I’m glowing because I’ve removed myself from the situation that I didn’t want to be in. If you can’t do that by the age of 50, then that’s nobody else’s fault but your own.

“Those women on the telly, they’re happy and that’s perfect for them, but it became too toxic for me and I had to remove myself.”

Denise Welch shared her concern for the NHS during Tuesday’s edition of Loose Women, amid the ongoing GP crisis hitting millions of Britons, but things turned awkward when Coleen Nolan called her co-star a conspiracy theorist

Denise Welch was forced to deny that she’s a conspiracy theorist during today’s edition of Loose Women thanks to an awkward exchange with co-star Coleen Nolan.

The former Coronation Street actress, 64, was discussing her fears for the future of the NHS amid the news millions across the country are struggling to get a GP appointment.

After Denise stressed how much pressure the state-funded service is under, and admitted she’s been forced to use a private GP, it was time for Coleen to add her thoughts to the debate – but not before branding her co-star ‘a conspiracy theorist’.

The latest Loose Women debate comes as it’s revealed the GP system is on the brink of collapse after hundreds of doctors confessed they are ­cutting hours because they can’t afford to heat their surgery.

More than one in 10 self-employed GPs – called partners – have been forced to reduce the time they see patients due to soaring energy bills, which may be one of the reasons people are struggling to nab an appointment at their local surgery.

Speaking about the crisis on Loose Women today, Denise delivered a passionate argument for funding the NHS alongside admitting the online booking system for her local GP isn’t suited to her.

The Waterloo Road star stressed how she is tech-savvy but finds booking an appointment online impossible and admitted she’s been forced to see a private GP due to the changes.

The majority of the panel agreed with Denise’s points (

ITV)
Denise went on to show her support for doctors and nurses under pressure and implied the crisis is due to the current government’s refusal to adequately fund the NHS.

After Denise finished her plea, it was time for Coleen to offer her thoughts – starting off saying: “Unlike Denise, I’m not a conspiracy theorist.”

As her fellow panelist made the cheeky jibe, Denise looked unimpressed and declared: “I’m not a conspiracy theorist.”

Coleen couldn’t resist a cheeky dig (

“Just watching Loose Women. Why does Colleen Nolan feel it ok to call @RealDeniseWelch a conspiracy theorist? Thank goodness there are people on tv who take time to actually research both sides. I wear my tin hat too Denise,” one viewer wrote on Twitter as the awkward moment aired.

Since 2020 Denise has won fans – and gained critics – for her strong opinions about the government’s handling of the ongoing pandemic that she often shares on social media and when appearing on Loose Women.

When asked by the Mirror last year if she sometimes ever regrets being outspoken, she confessed she does “almost every single day” due to how people “spin things”.

Denise seemingly appreciate her co-star’s comment (

ITV)But she maintains she was always well-informed prior to ever opening her mouth on-air – silencing critics who sarcastically mocked her knowledge and insight into all things Covid over recent years.

“I was incredibly informed and was always backed up by data,” Denise recalls. “I was never a conspiracy theorist and I spoke to some of the most clever, intelligent people in the world.

“Before I said one thing on Loose Women – I wasn’t going to name those people – but I would always show my producers the text conversations we had.

“So they knew that when people were on Twitter saying ‘Oh lets listen to Professor Welch who says she’s talking to an epidemiologist’ I actually was.

“It was when I couldn’t go in an ambulance with my dad but people could go to a football match, that’s when… Not having it again. Not going through it again.”

Coleen Nolan was in a savage mood during today’s edition of Loose Women, as she branded Denise Welch a conspiracy theorist and poked fun at Ruth Langsford’s fashion sense

Coleen Nolan couldn’t resist making a cheeky dig at one of her Loose Women co-stars during today’s edition of the ITV show.

Ruth Langsford was leading the panel during today’s discussion, which saw Coleen brand Denise Welch ‘a conspiracy theorist’ during a passionate chat about the GP crisis facing the NHS.

Not content with taking a swipe at Denise, Coleen also found the time to make Ruth the butt of one of her jokes as the show aired – with Ruth brushing the jibe off and telling the audience not to encourage her.

The awkward exchanges during today’s edition of Loose Women come as it’s rumoured many of the panellists don’t get along when the cameras stop rolling – with Denise breaking her silence on the drama earlier this month.

During today’s offering from the panel, Ruth revealed a little off-camera jibe from Coleen.

“Sorry but do you know what she just said to me?” Ruth began telling viewers.

“Glad you could make it in from EasyJet today,” she went on to reveal – looking down at her bright orange shirt as she shared the joke.

“Don’t encourage her,” Ruth pleaded with the audience as they burst into laughter.

Giggling, Coleen declared: “You look lovely!”

Denise denied a feud between herself and her Loose Women co-stars earlier this month, but revealed she’s not afraid to be passionate during fiery debates.

The ITV daytime show often sees the regular commentators clash over wide ranging topics, and reports of infighting between the stars have surfaced through the years.

However, Denise is keen to put the rumours to bed. It comes after she hit out at reports of a feud between herself co-star Charlene White over her time with Matt Hancock in the jungle.

ITV)In November, Denise appeared to hint on Twitter that she wasn’t too happy at seeing Charlene get on with the former health secretary, but she then clarified that she knows “how tricky it is to be that environment”.

“I’m not afraid to be passionate and committed about something, we all have different views, we’re great friends,” she told The Sun.

“I do get upset that people are trying to make out that we’re always in some backstage feud.”

The former Dancing on Ice star added: “I haven’t fallen out with any of them in 20 years – but we have very feisty debates.”

Loose Women host Kaye Adams was joined by Kelle Bryan, Jane Moore and Linda Robson in the ITV studio as the lunchtime show discussed the Nicola Bulley case

The Loose Women panel turned heated on Thursday morning as the presenters discussed the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of missing mother Nicola Bulley

The 45-year-old went missing last month during a riverside dog walk in St Michael’s on Wyre and Lancashire Police yesterday announced the mother-of-two had ‘significant issues’ with alcohol brought on by her ongoing struggles with menopause.

Loose Women host Kaye Adams was joined by Kelle Bryan, Jane Moore and Linda Robson in the ITV studio as the lunchtime show discussed the decision to release the fresh information.

The police have been criticised by some for disclosing such personal details about Nicola, but former Hollyoaks star Kelle stressed the importance of the public holding the police to account.

Kelle raised the low trust in the police, in the wake of several high profile cases of failings, most recently with convicted rapist Metropolitan police officer David Carrick.

She said: “People have every right to ask those questions. I’m not talking about keyboard warriors, I’m talking about those people who come from an informed place.”

She added: “As a member of the public, we are entitled to ask those questions,” to which Kaye then cut in to ask whether it was helpful during the ongoing investigation.

Kelle maintained it was, given the police force’s track record, adding: “Some of it’s positive and some it hasn’t been so positive.

“We can look at the Stephen Lawrence case, with a plethora of failings by the police. That family was right to ask those questions. Asking questions is what helps to solve cases.

“I’m not saying it’s right to put things on social media, turn up at the scene or attack the partner, but I do think we have a right to ask those questions.

The 45-year-old went missing last month during a riverside dog walk (

“If we look at David Carrick of Wayne Couzens – there are so many cases where the police have had catastrophic failings.”

However, fellow panellist Jane pushed back and noted there are hundreds of thousands of police officers in the country, as she started to add: “To besmirch them all–” before Kelle cut in saying: “I didn’t besmirch them all.”

Jane hit back saying: “You can’t take two cases,” but Kelle cut in: “I didn’t take two, I took three.”

Jane took the conversation back to Nicola Bulley as she praised the work of officers on the ground, concluding: “I think we have to trust them.”

Kelle insisted: “I’ve not in any way said anything about this case in terms of how they are handling it. What I am saying is we have a right to ask questions.”

Jane praised the work of officers on the ground in the Nicola Bulley case (

ITV)Host Kaye then cut in to take back the reins on the conversation, saying: “I suppose what I might question is whether or not that is useful when it’s a live case, when an investigation is ongoing and everything is critical. I’m not convinced that everybody weighing in –”

Yet Kelle again cut in, apologising to Kaye as she said: “I’m sorry, Kaye, but if Doreen Lawrence hadn’t asked the questions she asked at that time, there’s no way that would –”

Jane again jumped back into the fray as she pointed out Doreen Lawrence was ‘perfectly entitled’ to do so as a member of the family affected by the case.

Jane added: “It’s not Mrs Norrings in Newcastle asking, when she has no involvement in the case whatsoever,” as Kaye agreed: “The family absolutely have every right to question an investigation but the whole world and its wife are weighing in on this one. That’s when I wonder how useful it is.”

Katie Price’s teenage son Junior shared with ex-husband Peter Andre appeared on Loose Women to promote his latest chart-topping tune called Only One

Katie Price slammed her former Loose Women co-stars after being snubbed from the popular ITV morning programme last Friday.

Her teenage son Junior, who Katie shares with ex-husband Peter Andre, appeared on the show to promote his single Only One. Katie had once been a regular panellist on the ITV daytime programme until 2018 before she quit for ‘personal reasons’.In his first solo TV interview, Junior 18, spoke at length about his whirlwind music career, following in the footsteps of his Mysterious Girl hitmaker dad. But the mum-of-five pointed out presenters failed to mention her once, despite her music career too. Famously singing her rendition of A Whole New World, as well as releasing several tracks herself, Katie hit out at hosts Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha, Judi Love and Jane Moore in a TikTok tirade, telling fans the stars “hate me”.

The former glamour model was telling her live viewers how she wasn’t mentioned at all in Junior’s interview, despite still being in his life. “Isn’t it weird I was in Big Brother with Nadia, I presented with all the other ones on Loose Women.” She explained: “Not one mention about his mum, not one mention about ‘is your mum proud of you? It was all Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete. He was obviously told not to talk about me. It is so cruel. But that’s what this industry is like!”

Later in Katie’s video, her daughter Princess, also shared with Peter, appears as Katie begins telling her about the ordeal, adding: “I had to just confess to everyone how on Loose Women they didn’t even mention me considering I worked with them. I said I am in his life I do see him and I do speak to him and we all do. But our whole family our left out of everything because they hate me.” Katie was a regular and popular panellist on Loose Women between 2015 and 2018.

Katie quit the show for “personal reasons” but has never disclosed her exact reasoning behind her departure in 2018. She has however told fans she would never appear on the show ever again as the programme makes her “feel sick”. It was during another recent TikTok live she explained: “No I’m not doing Loose Women. Been there done that.” Katie previously accused show bosses and producers of expecting her to “perform like a seal” for ITV daytime viewers.

Addressing her time on the show in 2021, she said: “I was doing Loose Women for two years. When I look back at that it makes me feel sick. Because those two years were bad. Bad, bad, mentally. Bad bad bad.” She told the podcast Changes With Annie Macmanus: “But I still went out there and put on a brave face. I look at it and think, ‘Oh my God’. I look at my eyes on it and think I look dead in my eyes. Because all the drama came out.”

Junior promoted his single Only One (

Ken McKay/ITV/REX/ShutterstockHer outburst comes after Peter praised Junior for his iTunes chart success following the release of his new tune on Friday. Writing on Instagram, he wrote: “Can’t believe junior is going on Loose Woman on his own for the FIRST time today. His single ‘Only One’ is OUT NOW. Download on iTunes. Thank you so much for your support already everyone. Yeah a bit emotional…… but for a reason. So proud of you son for being you. ‘Only One’ out now.”

The release comes after mum Katie was forced to call the police after discovering a freaky fan’s bizarre plans to break into her Mucky Mansion. She feared for the safety of her five children after hearing threats from the sad stranger on TikTok. In a now-deleted clip, the barmy bloke told viewers he was “going to the Mucky Mansion”. He detailed his plans to enter Pricey’s property, including what he would do if confronted by the mum-of-five inside the sprawling Sussex home.

“Well, I’m going to a party near the Mucky Mansion and I’m going to break in through a hole in the fence and give Katie Price a copy of my book. So Katie Price, I’m coming for you,” the creep said, sparking Katie’s call for help. Sources say Katie took the threats “very seriously” after being forwarded the crazy clip, immediately grabbing her phone before she “called the police straight away”. An insider told The Sun: “She’s terrified and doesn’t want her kids put in danger.”

Loose Women is a place for debate and lively conversation, but sometimes things can get a little heated on the hit ITV show. Here are some of the panels biggest rows

Loose Women is a hot bed of different opinions and characters, and this very formula is why it has been been so successful and has stayed on our screens for so long.

The daytime show has been entertaining viewers since 1999, and in that time there have been a fair few arguments on the panel. There are rumours some of these disagreements have spilled out into real lives. From lively debates to bullying complaints and from messy resignations to wedding invite snubs, let’s take a look at some of the biggest feuds to come out of the ITV show.

Back in 2017 Loose Women panellist Andrea McLean got married to her partner, life coach Nick Feeney. Although many of the panel were invited to celebrate her wedding with her, Carol McGiffin was noticeably absent from the proceedings. Carol took to her Best Magazine column to highlight this, writing, “I’m ecstatic for them both, even though I wasn’t invited to the wedding. Andrea’s managed to squeeze in two weddings in less time than I’ve been engaged to Mark, which is a bit embarrassing, to say the least.”
Despite this, the pair showed there was no animosity between them when they discussed the situation before Andrea left the show in 2020.

Saira Khan and production

Saira Khan was a regular on the hit show from 2015 until her exit in 2021, when she didn’t hold back. The star claimed that the show was toxic, and explained to The Mirror that the last straw was when she was asked to join adult site Only Fans. She said: “The straw that broke the camel’s back was when one of the young producers was sent running after me to ask whether I would be prepared to open an OnlyFans account.”

Saira also claimed she was asked to have a mould made of her vagina for a segment. The 53-year-old said, “The system is toxic. They do not have people who have the expertise to introduce wellbeing and mental health care. I love TV presenting, but I knew that for the sake of my mental health and my family, I just could not carry on in such toxic working conditions.”

Myleene Klass, Denise Welch and Janet Street Porter

Former Hear’Say Myleene Klass appeared on the Loose Women panel in 2014 and during this time Janet Street Porter lost her temper with the star, saying,”I’m happiest when I’m not sat next to you Myleene!” Following this the singer took to social media to vent: “I love Loose Women. It’s nice to be able to articulate and get things out there. But I feel it was getting a bit misogynistic, a bit post-menopausal or pre-menopausal and ranty. That’s not how women should be represented so it’s nice they’ve refreshed the panel and we can talk about politics, fashion designers and what else is going on in the week.” Denise Welch then chimed in to defend her show with a soon-deleted tweet which read, “Sadly ratings suggest most viewers don’t agree with you.”

Carol McGiffin and production

Carol McGiffin was a regular on Loose Women, until she took a five-year break in 2013. However, the presenter then returned in 2018, before quitting earlier this year. Carol, 63, was known for her strong-minded and controversial views, which included accusing the World Health Organisation (WHO) of a “plot” during the coronavirus pandemic. Following her exit she told GB News presenter Dan Wootton that her opinions were the reason for her exit.

“I can say that over the last three years especially I’ve been…I wouldn’t say censored, but I have been restricted in what I could say. You know what my views are on these controversial matters, so to speak because I’ve been talking to you about them for the last three years on another station, which I got kicked off of by the way for having those views,” she said. “So everybody knows what my views are, and I think there’s absolutely no doubt there were people at ITV who didn’t like me having those views.”

Carol quit the show earlier this year due to her opinions not aligning with ITV’s

Coleen Nolan was accused of bullying on the hit show and as a result Ofcom received 7,000 complaints. This was due to the fact she had appeared on the 19th series of Celebrity Big Brother with outspoken How Clean is Your House? star Kim Woodburn, and the pair had a huge row. Kim then appeared on Loose Women in 2018 with the aim of the duo ironing out their differences which caused another bust up, resulting in Kim storming off, saying: “I wouldn’t want to sit and talk with lying trash. She’s a horrible person. You are trash, you’re a piece of filth!”

Media regulator Ofcom went on to dismiss the bullying claims and clear Loose Women of any breach, saying: “While there was some support for Ms Nolan, the majority of complainants said that the panel humiliated Ms Woodburn and caused her unnecessary distress.”
For Coleen the situation was also hard to manage, as she revealed on This Morning shortly after, “”It was genuinely shocking for all of us. None of us wanted that. I never want to see anyone in that much distress as she was in the end. It’s been the worst week of my life actually.”

Kaye Adams and Denise Welch had many arguments during the pandemic, with both taking different views on the imposed restrictions. One row that typified their clash of opinions happed in 2021 when Denise said, “I will no longer abide by rules that make absolutely no sense.” When Kaye offered a riposte, Denise then claimed “”Maybe there has to be a bit of anarchy.”
To this the Scottish presenter replied, “To be brutal, if I have got to listen to you or Professor Chris Whitty, I’m going to go with Professor Chris Whitty,” Kaye then snapped back. “Go with Chris Whitty and be in lockdown forever – it’s up to you!”

The Loose Women star has said that Alison took to her new presenting role like ‘a duck to water’ after she replaced Matt Lucas on the Channel 4 show

Judi Love has sung the praises of Alison Hammond following her debut co-presenting The Great British Bake Off. Alison took to screens alongside Noel Fielding as a new bunch of budding bakers took on a set of challenges.

The second episode of the new series is set to hit Channel 4 tomorrow (Tuesday, October 3) as the contestants battle it out over biscuits. They will each attempt to win the converted role of Star Baker – and maybe even a handshake from Paul Hollywood himself.

And one person who will be tuning in is Bake Off fan and Loose Women star, Judi Love. The 42-year-old is friends with Alison, and has praised her performance so far on the show.

She said that the This Morning presenter has taken to it “like a duck to water.” In her OK! column, Judi wrote: “It was a joy to see Alison Hammond taking to her new presenting position like a duck to water – she looked as though she was having the time of her life!”

Alison previously said that she got the ‘VIP treatment’ from Paul Hollywood when she stepped into the famous Bake Off tent for the first time. She made the claims during an appearance on BBC’s The One Show on Friday, September 29.

She explained to presenters Alex Jones and Roman Kemp: “So on the first day he asked ‘Do you want a lift to the hotel?’ so I said ‘Yeah, great’ and he’s got a really nice car – a little bit of a Lamborghini – and I’ve never been in one of them before.”

Noel said: “It was like Batman’s car wasn’t it?” Laughing, Alison continued: “It was like Batman’s car. I mean it was a struggle for me to get in first of all. I had to get myself into the car first, it’s like it’s on the floor. So unlady-like, my legs were wide open.

“I finally got in and I said ‘Where shall I put my bag? I’ve got my bag with me’ and he just got someone else to take it. So I got into the car, let’s just say I’m never going to do it again, it was the most frightening ride I’ve ever had in my entire life. It was so scary.”

Alison took over the presenting role from Little Britain star Matt Lucas after he quit over work conflicts. He previously shared on X, formerly Twitter: “Farewell Bake Off! It’s been a delicious experience and I can’t imagine a more fun way of spending my summers. But it’s become clear to me that I can’t present both Fantasy Football League and Bake Off alongside all my other projects. So, after three series and 51 episodes, I am cheerfully passing the baguette on to someone else.

“I would like to give my warmest thanks and gratitude to everyone at Love Productions and Channel 4 and to Noelipops, Paul, Dame Prue, the crew and, of course, the wonderful bakers for welcoming me into the tent. I wish whoever takes over the very best and I can’t wait to tune into the next series without already knowing who won!”

Ruth Langsford has shared her concerns she’s already showing dementia symptoms, after the Loose Women presenter lost her beloved father Dennis to the cruel disease over ten years ago

Ruth Langsford has revealed she’s worried about developing dementia, after losing her beloved father to the disease over ten years ago.

The Loose Women star’s dad Dennis passed away in 2012 at the age of 84, having first shown symptoms of Alzheimer’s’ in the 1990s. In his final years, the former army sergeant was cared for at home by his wife and Ruth’s mother, Joan. The TV star’s mum later developed dementia herself, and, now 91, is living in a care home.

In a recent interview on the How To Be 60 podcast, Ruth confessed that she too frets she’ll inherit the illness one day. The 61-year-old’s fear of dementia, which can be genetic, is so intense that she has even admitted she’s refused to do a test to see her chances of developing it.

“Whenever they say that you can do a test to see if you would be prone to getting Alzheimer’s, I don’t really want to do it, because there’s no cure at the moment,” she told host Kaye Adams. “If I could do that test and they said: ‘right, now you know, this is what you do to stop you getting it. You have to take this tablet, you have to do these exercises, you have to eat this or don’t eat that.’ But there’s nobody can tell you that, so I almost don’t want to know.

Ruth, who shares son Jack with husband and former co-presenter, Eamonn Holmes, went on to admit that she’s often concerned she may be already showing symptoms of dementia.

“But of course, every time I go: ‘where are my glasses?’ and they’re on my head, or: ‘where are my keys? and I have those blank moments where you suddenly forget someone’s name – somebody you know really well. You think: ‘oh my God,’ so of course I worry, with both parents. But I try not to think about it too much, because it’s too depressing.”

Ruth also recalled losing her sister to suicide and spoke about her painful experience of losing a parent to the disease back in 2013, calling the ordeal “horrible” and “strange.” “You’re grieving for them while they’re still alive. They are physically there but their spirit appears not to be. It’s like you’ve lost them… but there they are,” she wrote, referring to her father’s “long and slow” decline.

“Eventually we had to put him into care. It broke my heart. But sometimes it is not possible to keep a sufferer at home. Me and my sister had to persuade my mum to let him go into care, because being at home was making them both ill,” she admitted.
