Janet Street Porter offered up her own experience of unexpectedly coming on her period, when the panel erupt into anarchy and hysterics as the panellists bantered back and forth

Loose Women ramped up the savagery today as banter on the panel got out of hand.

One of the day’s discussions turned to tennis bosses at Wimbledon finally deciding to relax the “whites” dress code for players.

Competitors will still be required to wear all-white clothes on top but the All England Club will allow coloured underwear in 2023 to consider the issues some female players may have with their menstrual cycles.

The break from long standing tradition was hot topic for the Loose Women as they hailed the rule change as a long overdue breakthrough.

Loose Women ramped up the savagery today as banter on the panel got out of hand

Janet Street Porter offered up her own experience of unexpectedly coming on her period, when the panel erupt into anarchy and hysterics as the panellists bantered back and forth.

“I’m going to walk to the toilet as if it’s perfectly natural to walk like that with my legs together,” Janet demonstrated as she pretended to hold a newspaper over her bum to hide a leak on her way to the loo.

“It happened to me once in a very posh London restaurant…” she began.

“What your legs together?” Coleen interjected, much to the amusement of the audience. “Come on she’s been married four times!” the ITV star went on as the audience and panel burst into laughter.

Janet branded Coleen a ‘pig person’

“Ok, pig person,” Janet quipped back, referencing a later show talking point about being “piggy in the middle” in arguments between others.

“Stop it! It’ll be in the magazines,” Coleen cackled.

“Alright, all I’m saying is that every woman watching this will have had that moment, that leakage moment. And it’s not something that happens like it does in the ads.”

Elsewhere on today’s episode, Sarah Beeny joined the panel to discuss her cancer diagnosis and how she kept it from her husband and kids because she “needed to handle it in [her] own head before telling them”.

The entrepreneur, 50 – who is known for fronting property development shows like Property Ladder – announced in August that she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer.
