A one-off episode of Loose Women will air later this month, featuring Janet Street-Porter and Gloria Hunniford, as the ITV show marks a huge milestone
ITV is set to celebrate a milestone with a special edition of Loose Women airing in late January, commemorating the network’s 70th year since its inception in 1955.
The festivities will include a unique episode of Loose Women scheduled for Tuesday, 28 January, aptly named This is 70+. Regulars Janet Street-Porter and Gloria Hunniford will be joined by Prue Leith and Lesley Joseph on the show.
These four women, all aged in their 70s and 80s, will tackle a range of subjects on the daytime programme, from style and social circles in your seventies to the important life insights they’ve each gained over time, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Prue Leith, who will be gracing the Loose Women panel for the first time, shares: “Our 70 plus squad is here… Sharing some life lessons we’ve picked up along the way.”
Lesley chimes in with: “I feel so much freer now I’m older” before playfully quipping: “We’ll reveal our secrets to ageing dis-gracefully!”
