Loose Women star Janet Street-Porter opened up about her health as she revealed that she has to have a hip replacement.

During Wednesday’s episode of the ITV hit daytime show viewers and the live studio audience were joined by panellists Linda Robson, Janet Street-Porter, Judi Love and Coleen Nolan.

During one segment, Coleen asked if people start to lose their mobility as they get older. Linda revealed that she suffers from a ‘dodgy knee’ and is in need of a knee replacement but has been putting it off.

The incident happened while riding a scooter on her family holiday. She said: “I was in Spain with my nephews, nieces and family last year and my nephew said to me ‘do you want to go on a scooter’ and I said yeah.”

She continued: “I was holding onto the handle bar and when I turned it took off and I ended up on my knees with my bottom in the air and my dress over my head and no one picked me up they were laughing at me. Eventually they picked me up and then I had to go to the hospital and now I need to have a knee replacement eventually.”

Janet then took the opportunity to reveal that she also put off having knee surgery. She said: “You better have that knee replacement because I put off having one and I really could hardly walk even 100 yards.”

Linda joked: “Well you are 111.” Everyone burst out laughing as Janet replied: “Linda, you’ll regret that later.” Janet then revealed that following a recent MRI scan she has been told that she needs to have a hip replacement.

She continued: “Lots of people have had a hip replacement and they are telling me that it’s not as bad as the knee and I’ll be walking the same day.”

The TV star revealed that she isn’t able to walk properly, she said: “Obviously I’ve got to have the hip replacement but in the meantime I am wobbling and I should be using a stick but I am guilty of that.”

Co-star Judi Love added: “I’ve realised now in my 40s that I could twist an ankle and it takes longer to heal than when I was in my 30s so I’m much more conscious of things that I am doing and that could be what I am eating or getting exercise.”
