The Loose Women are “naughty” and “silly” behind the scenes, says panellist Olivia Attwood who insists there is “no conflict” between the stars
Loose Women is “naughty” behind the scenes, according to its new panellist Olivia Attwood.
The reality star says she has never experienced any “conflict”, despite reports that several of the stars have fallen out.
“It’s that thing we love, women to be at war with each other – it’s so exciting,” says Olivia, who was entertaining viewing Love Island.
But there is less drama backstage at the ITV panel show, which Olivia appeared on last week alongside Nadia Sawalha, Kaye Adams and Denise Welch. “I have not seen conflict at Loose,” she continues. “The women have a lot of fun with each other. Like it’s naughty, they’re silly, they’re mates. There’s some of these women have worked together for, 20 odd years. They know each other inside out. And that’s also credit to them for making me feel so part of it, because I’m coming in there with friendships that have been existing long before I was.”
Olivia Attwood chats to Caroline Hirons on the Glad We Had This Chat podcast
Olivia says she prepared herself to not resonate with viewers when she first joined the show. She tells the Caroline Hirons Glad We Had This Chat podcast, out today: “I actually really was like, I’ve got nothing to lose here because if the daytime viewers don’t warm to me or isn’t a fit or the women don’t like me, it’s all good training, it’s all good experience. So I was up for it.
“They said they weren’t surprised at all. And I guess that’s why they’re the bosses and they know what they’re looking for. But I guess I was surprised how quickly it just felt like I’d been there forever.”
