Several stars of ITV Loose Women – including Linda Robson, Katie Piper and Denise Welch – joined crew members for the show’s annual Christmas night out, but Olivia Attwood was forced to miss out due to an eye problem

Loose Women headed out for their annual boozy Christmas party on Wednesday for a night of festive frolics you would expect from the ITV stars.

Linda Robson and Denise Welch took to her Instagram account to share a snap of several of the ladies having fun together – with usual suspects Kaye Adams, Judi Love, Katie Piper and Charlene White at the forefront of the celebrations. Captioning her post, actress Linda wrote: “Great night at our @loosewomen Christmas party. What a wonderful team we have. Have a wonderful Christmas love nanny Linda xxxx.”

Former Coronation Street star Denise, meanwhile, shared several snaps of the night out, which saw the cast and crew members don party accessories and take part in a quiz. Judi later joined in the fun on social media, post a clip of the ladies dancing and singing to a karaoke version of Wham’s Last Christmas.

Also present on the night were Christine Lampard, Brenda Edwards and Jane Moore. Thankfully, Kaye, Denise, Katie and Jane recovered in time to present Thursday lunch time’s show along with I’m A Celebrity star guest, Josie Gibson. Speaking during the broadcast, journalist and author Jane soon made an hilarious admission about the party antics, which saw Judi’s handbag inexplicably catch fire.

“The most exciting part of the night – there was a shriek down one end of the table – somebody went, ‘Judy, your handbags on fire!'” she said. With a mixture of gasps and laughter in the studio, Jane continued: “It was like an episode of EastEnders. She put her bag on the table and the strap was on fire! So yeah, that was the biggest drama of the night.”

Several show regulars including Janet Street Porter, Coleen Nolan, Ruth Langsford and Nadia Sawalha all appeared to absent, from the party, whilst another panelist unable to attend was Olivia Attwood, who is nursing an unfortunate eye injury.

The 32-year old former Love Islander took to her account in the day, revealing her left eye had been bandaged up. “Was meant to be off to @loosewomen Christmas lunch… but my eye had other ideas,” she wrote. Responding to Linda, meanwhile, Coleen expressed her regret at not being able to join in, writing: “Gutted I missed it.: “Looks like you all had a blast.” And Dame Kelly Holmes penned a similar response, adding: “Sad to have missed this xx hope you had a fab night.”
