The Loose Women panel were back on Wednesday and things took a rather awkward turn during one segment.
ITV’s Loose Women appeared to turn frosty after Christine Lampard lured Kéllé Bryan to tell her embarrassing story.
The ladies were back in the hot seat for Wednesday’s instalment of the popular daytime show. Discussing the latest news headlines and other topical matters, Christine led the conversations, with Kelle, Judi Love, and Coleen Nolan also giving their takes.
During the show, the four women discussed some of the worst gifts they’ve ever received. As they shared their ordeals, Judi explained the time she was unexpectedly given a pair of “Spanx” as a gift from a man she had previously dated.
But things took a slightly awkward turn when Christine put the spotlight on Kelle and asked her what her most embarrassing gifting experience was. However, the Eternal singer didn’t take too kindly to Christine’s probing – insinuating it was something she didn’t really want to expose.
Snapping back at her jokingly, Kelle said: “Oh, well only on national television. Thanks, Christine.”
Laughing the moment off, Kelle then shared her ordeal with her co-stars revealing that she once gave her daughter’s friend a gift that they had previously given her daughter before by accident – with the tag still on the item. As the audience laughed along, the panellist shared her disbelief at her unexpected experience.
While the four women shared their various stories, some viewers online took a much more cynical approach to what they were watching as many of them seemed to think the stories were not true. Heading over to X formerly known as Twitter, viewers shared their thoughts.
One social media user said: “I don’t believe a word of that Spanx story.” Another viewer sarcastically penned: “No scripts or made-up stories involved on this show.”
A third shared: “If you watch their body language and eyes you can tell they are making this s**t up.” While a fourth mentioned: [It] didn’t happen Kelle.”
Kelle’s awkward reveal on the show isn’t the first time a Loose Woman has been called out for letting things slip. Recently Natalie Cassidy called out panellist Charlene White when she spoke about something mentioned in private on the show.
The EastEnders star appeared on Loose Women to discuss her late co-star Barbara Windsor. Charlene then said: “She could let you know she wasn’t happy with just one look if you came in after a big night out when you were working the next day.”
But this prompted Natalie to retort sharply. She replied jokingly: “Thank you for that! It was a private conversation in the green room!”
