Ruth Langsford was left red-faced after she asked Sue and Noel Radford an intimate question on Loose Women as they discussed the new series of 22 Kids and Counting

On Loose Women, Ruth Langsford triggered a wave of laughter when she unintentionally asked Sue and Noel Radford an intimate question about their personal time.

Ruth, joined by fellow panellists Christine Lampard, Janet Street-Porter, Gloria Hunniford and Brenda Edwards, talked to the couple known for their large family from the show 22 Kids and Counting. Ruth stumbled over her words while asking them if they ever had “alone time” away from their children and her remarks sent the studio into fits of laughter.

“What about you two? Do you ever get some time – well, we know you get alone time, with all of those children,” she joked. Trying to clarify her point, she added, “Do you ever just the two of you, you know, go out for lunch? Or a dinner?” Parent-of-22 Noel clarified that he and Sue make sure to set aside time for each other.

“We try to, we went out last week. It was only for an hour or two but it’s just nice to be together on our own,” he told the panel. Sue shared her parenting wisdom and said: “I think you have to make the time, don’t you? When you’ve got a lot of children and you’ve got a lot going on in your life. You’ve got to make time as a couple. You have to.”

She finished off the look with a satin robe and showed off her long legs effectively in black chunky heels. Sitting pretty on a stool, Denise wore her signature blonde short hair and enhanced the sensuous factor by applying a stroke of intense red gloss on her lips.

In her caption, Denise wrote: “Corral…..’The most powerful place on the planet. It’s the 4 inch gap of leg flesh betwixt stocking top and knicker edge. What is about that space that drives the male demented, that fosters such devotion and frenzy? From ‘The Gap’ by Jim Cartwright. @hopemilltheatre Feb 9th to March 9th. #Thegap”

It comes after Denise recently had to put her fans’ minds at rest after a cruel hoax claimed she had passed away. The TVb star took to her social media last week to let everyone know she was still very much with us. After noticing her name was trending because someone changed her Wikipedia page to suggest she’d died.

She assured her fans that she was actually watching I’m a Celebrity and alive and well. She wrote: “I’m alive and well and about to watch the jungle. Thanks for your concern”.

Chloe was a guest on Loose Women on Friday where she opened up to the panel about the end of her marriage to James – and explained why she’s glad he is now busy and often out of their shared house

Chloe Madeley has opened up about the collapse of her five-year marriage to rugby star James Haskell – explaining the pillars of their marriage ‘disintegrated’.

The 36-year-old former Dancing On Ice contestant shares a one-year-old daughter named Bodhi with 38-year-old sport star James. They married in 2018 following a four year romance and were regarded to be one of the golden couples of the reality star sphere.

But last year, fans were stunned to hear the pair had broken up – with the news emerging while a documentary series about their life, titled A Family Affair, was airing on ITV. Now Chloe has appeared on Loose Women and shared candid details about the end of her marriage.

The star joined a panel featuring Myleene Klass, Nadia Sawalha, and Katie Piper and helmed by Kay Adams. Dressed in a light cream coloured shirt, Chloe took a seat on the ITV daytime show on Friday and told all.

Addressing the end of her marriage, she said: “I always say this. If you think of a relationship, you have pillars in place that keep the relationship up, whether that’s respect or kind of affection or trust and all these things. And all of our pillars – over time, it didn’t just happen – over time, they kind of disintegrated. I think when that happens, there is no rebuilding.

“But we’re great friends. He’s the most incredible dad… Since we parted ways, our relationship has become very respectful. We love each other as friends, but we lost the ability for it to be more.”

Chloe also explained that she is glad her soon-to-be ex-husband has jobs that keep him out of the house. She said: “One of the things that was quite hard over the summer was how often he is away DJing, like five nights a week. But actually how ironic that now it just completely works in my favour because I’ve got my space, he’s got his space he’ll come back a few nights a week and see Bodhi. He’ll be hands-on dad and I’ll sleep and then two days later off he goes – perfect.”

She said: “I think automatically, when you tell somebody your marriage has ended or has stopped working, everyone always thinks that it’s a negative thing and for me it’s a really positive thing.

“The really hard part of everything that James and I went through was actually in the summer and that was the thing I really struggled with. We were filming and obviously I have a full-time job and it was really tough, it kind of broke me a bit. But once we made the decision, we drew a line under it and it was done. I’ve felt since that moment, I think both of us have, really free and happy.”

Chloe admitted: “It was quite shocking and surprising to me how many people picked up on things not being right. I actually thought we did a really good job of (hiding) it but apparently not.”

Chloe and James have continued to live together following their split and as they raise their daughter together – but that is expected to change soon. Chloe revealed: “I think he should be moving out in the next few weeks. It’s all for Bodhi, it’s not about James. He’s got this new place and I’m going to move in for a week with Bodhi so she can settle in and know the environment and understand that she’s safe and we’re all there for her.”

TV presenter Kaye Adams she was left ‘terrified’ that something was really wrong after she suddenly lost all hearing in her right ear ‘minutes’ before she went live on on air on Friday’s instalment of Loose Women

Loose Women legend Kaye Adams has revealed that she was rushed to A&E after suffering a ‘traumatic’ health scare.

The popular ITV star, 61, took to social media to reveal she was left ‘terrified’ that something was really wrong after she suddenly lost all hearing in her right ear ‘minutes’ before she went live on on air on Friday’s instalment of Loose Women

Explaing her health scare on Instagram, Kaye said: “I was absolutely terrified, I thought, ‘Oh my god, what has gone wrong? On Friday when I was doing Loose Women, minutes before we went in air, my right ear just went dead. I put my earpiece in, there was no sound I couldn’t hear a thing.”

Kaye pushed through the show, not mentioning her health scare to viewers but became increasingly worried when she got home to Glasgow and her hearing still had not returned.

The Loose Women star explained that as she became more concerned, she started to google her symptoms after losing all hearing in one ear so suddenly. Kaye went to sleep but woke up the next morning and went straight to the hospital where she was looked after by the ‘dedicated’ nurses.Kaye explained she was then sent for an audiogram at a nearby Boots hearing centre. However, she was left utterly mortified when she discovered the reason behind her sudden hearing loss. The TV star revealed that the audiologist pulled out a huge lump of wax, which was affecting her hearing.

“I mean I am embarrassed to say this because, honestly, my head was going to some terrible terrible tumour, I am very melodramatic,” Kaye told her followers. “Paula pulled out the biggest bit of wax you have ever seen.”

Thankfully, the TV star has nothing to worry about, and her hearing came back immediately after undergoing to process.

Olivia Attwood, 32, offered Bradley Dack a ‘little threat’ back in 2019 and told him she would ‘explore other options’ if the footballer didn’t put a ring on it

Olivia Attwood warned Bradley Dack that he had less than a year to propose to her or she was bailing on their relationship.

The TOWIE legend, 32, issued her footballer boyfriend a stern wedding ultimatum and demanded he got down on one knee or she was off. Olivia was a guest panelist on Loose Women and the subject of parental interference in their kids’ love lives was discussed on the ITV show.

They married in June last year but admitted she piled on the pressure for him to pop the question. Speaking to Ruth Langsford, Linda Robson and Brenda Edwards on the daytime show, the reality star says he was taking too long so moved to speed the process up a little bit.

Explaining to the panel, she said: “I don’t need the parents’ help, I do enough interference myself. I told Brad to propose to me so my mum didn’t have to.” Ruth asked: “Did you give him an ultimatum?” Olivia admitted: “I did, actually. I wanted the commitment – and the ring! We’d been through quite a few hurdles, so it was time.

“I said ‘you’ve got a year or I may have to explore other options’. It worked.” Brenda chipped in: “So, you blackmailed him!” She responded: “It was a loose threat! I would have liked it if my parents had intervened. I would have wanted someone to scare him into it that wasn’t me. It worked! For now.”

They finally got engaged in 2019, when the Blackburn Rovers midfielder popped the question in Dubai. The wedding was the first ever to be held at the exclusive Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge, and the ceremony was decorated with more than 25,000 flowers. Around 80 guests were in attendance at the bash, along with Amber Davies and Fran Parman.

The wedding was also filmed for Olivia and Bradley’s reality TV series Olivia Marries Her Match. Appearing on Loose Women last year, Olivia discussed her nuptials and her reality series. During the chat, the former Love Island star was asked about her decision not to have any bridesmaids on the day.

However, she did have sister Georgia and best friend Charlotte, who performed maid of honour duties together. Judi Love, asked: “The one thing I was a little bit shocked of was no bridesmaids! How did that come about?”, to which Linda Robson added: “Haven’t you got lots of girlfriends that you wanted to be your bridesmaid?”

A couple of brides I spoke to, who have been married previously, I said: ‘If you could change one thing, what would it be’ and they said: ‘Bridesmaids are hard work’. One, it’s really political, isn’t it? So when me and Brad first started looking at it, we were going: ‘Right, we want even numbers that balances aesthetically [for pictures of their bridesmaids and groomsmen]!’

“We were looking at it and I was like, ‘if I get everyone in, who would be expecting to be one [a bridesmaid], it’s just going to be so many’.” Olivia then hilariously joked: “I could buy ten dresses or buy myself a piece of jewellery!”

Linda Robson opened up about her health on Tuesday’s Loose Women, where she was later examined live on air by a doctor after she was worried about a skin tag on her neck

On Monday’s show, the presenter, 65, revealed she had put off having her skin examined as she had been busy. However, on Tuesday’s show, Linda was examined live on air by a skin specialist over her skin tag fears, who later revealed that it was “completely harmless”.

Elsewhere on the show, Linda revealed that she’s got to have a knee replacement after suffering an accident last year but has cancelled the operation twice as she’s scared of not being able to work.

Discussing a segment called: “Do you struggle to put your health first?”, Linda admitted: “I fell off an electric scooter last year and I ended up on my knees with my bum in the air and my dress over my head.

“Anyway, I’ve got to have a knee replacement but I keep putting it off, I’ve cancelled two appointments, I’ve said: ‘I can’t come in today, I’ve got work!’ because I’m frightened I won’t be able to work. I’m going to be laid up and that.” However, she insisted: “I will eventually have one!”

It comes as Linda hit out at her ex-husband Mark Dunford on Monday’s Loose Women. The Birds of a Feather actress confirmed in November 2023 that she and Mark had decided to separate after 33 years of marriage. The former couple share a son, Louis, born in 1992, and a daughter, Roberta, known as Bobbie, born in 1996.

Earlier this week, Linda appeared to share some insight into the breakdown of her marriage during one of the debates on the show. Ruth Langsford, Olivia Attwood, Brenda Edwards and Linda were discussing the news that Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer, less than a year after her breast cancer diagnosis.

The panel were speaking about getting checked for moles when Linda revealed that she’d gone with her eldest daughter Lauren, 40, who she shares with ex-partner Tony Tyler, to have some checked. Hitting out at her ex-husband, Linda quipped: “I think if anything changed on my body, my husband wouldn’t notice, he wouldn’t notice if I was on fire.”

Ruth Langsford made an awkward This Morning blunder while hosting Loose Women on Tuesday’s show as she spoke to presenters Sian Welby and Dermot O’Leary

Loose Women took an awkward turn on Tuesday when host Ruth Langsford accidentally made a This Morning blunder.

Prior to the ITV chat show starting, This Morning hosts Sian Welby and Dermot O’Leary headed to the studio to see what Ruth, 63, and her co-stars had in store on the programme today. However, upon reading out the line-up, Ruth said: “Hello, yes, coming up on This Morning… not This Morning! You’re This Morning, we’re Loose Women. Force of habit, sorry!”

This Morning fans will recall that Ruth used to host the show on Fridays and holidays, alongside husband Eamonn Holmes from 1999 to 2022. Ruth remains as a host on Loose Women, where she has worked since 1999.

On Monday, Sian was asked to present the show with Dermot after being appointed as the new entertainment expert. Rylan Clark previously hosted the showbiz section on the programme, with Rylan going on to become a stand-in This Morning lead presenter.

During the show, This Morning went over to Loose Women to see what was coming up with host Ruth sharing the show’s line-up. During the interaction, Sian said: “Aw, thank you Ruth! Ruth’s been so sweet to me, you know, always! She looks after me, she’s so lovely!”

“I can’t believe this, I’m on the actual main show. I don’t know who allowed this. Am I ready? Am I a liability? I’m not sure but thankfully I will be with Dermot who is a beacon of joy and an ultimate professional.”

She continued: “And he’s going to take me under his wing, and I feel very safe. So, yes I will be with Dermot on Monday on This Morning, tune in if you want to see the carnage that could happen because honestly at this moment I don’t know what is going to happen, I’m just going to wing it.” Former This Morning presenter Ruth rushed to support her friend and commented: “Go Sian!!”

Loose Women host Ruth Langsford recalled her son Jack’s past 16th birthday party on Tuesday’s ITV show, where the youngster was “fuming” after she gatecrashed with pizza

Ruth Langsford admitted her son Jack was “fuming” after she gatecrashed his 16th birthday party with pizza.

On Tuesday’s episode of Loose Women, Ruth, 63, and her fellow panellists were discussing the topic: “Can you be a friend and a parent to your child?”, which prompted Ruth to recall her son’s, who is now 21, past sixteenth birthday celebration. Ruth shares Jack with husband Eamonn Holmes.

Talking about children’s birthday parties, Ruth said: “Jack did not want me to be there! I always remember, I think it was his sixteenth birthday or something he had friends over.

“I said I’d get pizzas, they were all [there], they had the kitchen, and Eamonn and I were in another room. Pizzas arrived and I went in, and because I know all his friends, they were like: ‘Oh, hi Ruth!’

“So I’m chatting away, handing out the pizza, I looked over, caught Jack’s eye and he went [while whispering]: ‘Go away!’, [he was] fuming, fuming! Literally, didn’t want me in there, didn’t think it was cool! He was just like: ‘Go away!’”

It comes as Loose Women took an awkward turn on Tuesday when host Ruth accidentally made a This Morning blunder. Prior to the ITV chat show starting, This Morning hosts Sian Welby and Dermot O’Leary headed to the studio to see what Ruth and her co-stars had in store on the programme today.

Katie Piper left her fellow Loose Women co-stars stunned on Wednesday’s show as she unveiled her jaw-dropping hair transformation.

The presenter, 40, has rocked blonde locks but has ditched her signature hairstyle for a new gorgeous brunette look, revealing the makeover on Wednesday’s show. The Loose Women panel were left amazed over the new look with host Christine Lampard joking: “I thought we had a completely new panellist today, as well as Jill Scott, and it was Katie with new hair!”

Talking about her new hair, Katie continued: “It’s the new me, I always feel when you change your hair colour, you’ve got to change your makeup, your jewellery, your wardrobe. I’ve experimented with my hair quite a lot over the years.

“It is something I quite enjoy doing, I never get frightened about it, I mean, I’ve been purple, jet black, white blonde, so yeah… I’ve got different foundations in all my makeup kits depending where I’m going to go [with my hair].”

Katie also took to Instagram to show off her new hair, writing: “New hair, who dis? Ready for today’s @loosewomen”. Katie’s 1.1m followers were quick to go wild over the look. One person said: “Wow great look loving the brunette!”, a different account put: “HOW!! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO LOOK THIS INSANE BOTH BLONDE AND BRUNETTE!!!” with heart eyes, while another fan wrote: “Beautiful!” Someone else raved: “This is stunning, perfect colour on you!!!!”

It comes as Katie returned to Loose Women in December for the first time since undergoing surgery. The presenter suffered life-changing burns, injuries and blindness in one eye after being attacked with acid in 2008 when she was 24. Katie underwent pioneering surgery to restore her face and vision, but has faced many complications since.

Only recently, Katie underwent tarsorrhaphy surgery in November to her left eye, which joins parts or all of the upper and lower eyelids to completely close the eye. Katie said at the time of the procedure, which is used to help or heal the cornea: “In my case I am trying to preserve the eye, avoid perforation and loosing my eye completely.”

Katie added at the time: “Also, if this helps anyone else…. yes I do sometimes find it hard. I’m ok with looking different to everyone else but operations can sometimes take me back to memories of how this all started and that’s hard mentally.”

Appearing on Loose Women for the first time since the procedure, host Kaye Adams said: “Hello stranger! First of all, Katie, we haven’t seen you for what, five or six weeks?” Katie then explained why she had been absent, discussing her recent procedure. She said: “I had a planned procedure done called tarsorrhaphy, which is a semi-permanent closure of the eye. It’s an operation done in theatre and your eye is fully or partially stitched up.

“Some people might be familiar with it, you normally see it when somebody has disease of the cornea. Closing the eye gives it the optimum environment to heal so I’ve had quite a lot of problems with my eye over the last year and a half. I don’t like to go on about it because there’s always somebody worse off!”

Katie added: “It’s been quite painful so it’s quite a relief for me to finally have it stitched up because it’s a lot more comfortable! It’s not permanent, it’s going to be for just about a year like this then hopefully I can have it opened!”
