Revealing what was the cause of her red face, she said: “It looks like I’ve had a cosmetic procedure of something but I haven’t. I woke up with a seriously red face, itchy, so I’ve got no make-up on.”

“It’s gone better from this morning though. You had a antihistamine didn’t you?” her co-star Kaye then added.

Carol then replied: “Yeah, which. made me feel weird. It’s not pleasant and I’m fine not to have any makeup on,” before Kaye chimed in to share: “Joking aside it’s a horrible thing and we’re really glad you’re here. We’d rather you here then not here. Hopefully the wee tables will work and you’ll be fine and dandy,” as all the panellists gave their well wishes.

Fans of the show rushed to social media at the start of the show, worrying what might be wrong.

“What’s wrong with Carol’s face??? #LooseWomen,” one penned, whilst another added: “I genuinely that she was just sunburnt. Bless Carol #LooseWomen.” A third added: “Carol looks burnt to a crisp! Is she ok?! #LooseWomen.”
