Loose Women panellist Judi Love has opened up about her relationship with her ITV co-stars and spilled on who her ‘real’ friends are, amid claims they are caught up in a ‘feud’

Judi Love has hit out at claims the Loose Women panellists are caught up in a “feud” as she insisted they are all “absolutely lovely”.

The 42-year-old TV star was forced to speak out following reports of infighting between the ITV hosts.

Judi said the panellists were like a “sisterhood” as she opened up about who her “real” friends are.

During an appearance on Saturday Kitchen, the comedian was asked by host Matt Tebutt for the truth about the rumours. She replied: “What do you want? The juice.”

Judi then added: “No no, we’re absolutely lovely. Look I’m working with 20 women who all have expertise in different areas – journalism, news reporting, and acting. They are forces to be reckoned with.”

She continued: “I find that anything I need advice in, anything – I’m talking buying houses, all kind of different stuff – I can just go to any one of them and they’ve got some understanding and can educate me on things.”

When asked which of the panellists she would consider her friends, Judi named Charlene White, Brenda Edwards, Jane Moore and Nadia Sawalha.

“I think it’s great. They’ve added to it, and now they’ve got a comedian in the pool, I love it, what better job than to go in, have a chit-chat with the girls, and get your make-up on,” Judie said.

Judi isn’t the first Loose Women panellist to comment on the feud rumours.

Back in February, Nadia slammed the claims and admitted she actually has an “intense” relationship with her co-stars.

The 58-year-old TV host said they all get on “so, so well” behind the scenes, but agreed things can seem “a bit heated” when they’re on the daytime show.

“There is no feud – I think it’s that thing where people always expect women must be arguing, we honestly get on so well,” she said.

The actress insisted that she loves being part of the Loose Women panel and said it’s nice to form “intense relationships” with her co-stars.

“I have great friends and I just love my job so much, I always say they have to take me out in a box in Loose Women,” Nadia told The Sun.
