Brenda Edwards was unable to hold it together when Birds Of A Feather star Linda Robson made a crude comment about her hair loss on Monday’s episode of ITV’s Loose Women

Brenda Edwards was left speechless on Loose Women when her co-star Linda Robson made a shockingly crude comment that stopped the show in its tracks.

The panel, which included I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! alum Jane Moore, Janet Street-Porter, Brenda, and Linda, were in the midst of a discussion about hair loss when the incident occurred.

During the episode broadcast on Monday (January 13), Janet disgusted viewers by admitting she only washed her hair once during “three weeks over Christmas “, attributing it to a health issue that caused her hair to thin, leading her to be more careful with how often she washes it.

Brenda chimed in, relating to the topic with her own experience of needing to take extra care of her Afro-hair, particularly after suffering from alopecia due to stress following her grandmother’s death.

Liverpool Echo reports the tone of the conversation took a different turn when Linda shared her thoughts on hair loss, saying: “It all depends if I’m going somewhere then I wash my hair and do it.”

Brenda was in tears over the comment

Linda, known for her role in Birds Of A Feather, then stunned everyone by adding: “I’ve got really dry hair now, really dry scalp now,” before dropping the bombshell: “I’ve got really dry everywhere now actually.”

Brenda was visibly shocked, covering her head with her hands in disbelief, while Janet looked unimpressed, shaking her head alongside host Jane. There was a bout of raucous applause and laughter when Janet then confronted Linda following her risque remark.

Jane was not impressed

She questioned: “Why do you feel the need? ” As the two clashed, Jane had to cut in, stressing: “That is a whole other topic so I’ve got to move it on now.”

Amidst this chaotic scene, it seemed Jane could no longer steer the show as she futilely tried to transition with: “From washing hair, to washing machines,” while the noise escalated in the studio.

Linda left the entire panel a-gasp with her remark

Brenda was practically incapacitated with laughter, hunched over the desk, inadvertently disrupting Jane’s efforts to maintain order with her bouts of mirth. Even as Jane pressed on, declaring: “Brenda’s completely gone, so I’m going to come to you first Linda.”

Her chuckles morphed into tearful giggles. Reaching for a tissue to dab away tears proved fruitless for the TV personality, who was utterly stricken with hilarity, leaving her in uncontrollable laughter as the show concluded.

Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV1, from 12:30pm.
