One Loose Women star found herself in trouble today when she missed the start of the show after an advert break and was given a ticking off

Loose Women star Kelle Bryan was ticked off by a fellow panellist after being late for the show.

Charlene White was hosting Thursday’s edition of the ITV lunchtime show alongside panellists, Kelle, Judi Love and Brenda Edwards. However, as the show returned from the advert break, one of them was noticeably missing.

As the show returned to screens, Charlene told Kelle off for taking too much time chatting to the audience. As the camera panned out, Kelle could be seen conversing with some of the audience members.

Charlene shouted to her: “Kelle, Kelle, you’ve got to come back!” Before adding: “I’ll tell you why Kelle’s doing it. Every time she’s on the show she says ‘hello’ to every single audience member that’s come in, which is nice.”

Charlene used the opportunity to give those watching at home details about joining them in the studio and being a part of the live audience, telling fans they could too get a chance to chat with Kelle.

Elsewhere in the show, the panellists interviewed Vanessa Feltz, who spoke about her love life and her struggles with her weight over the years. She also opened up about her brand new book.

Kelle has been a panellist on Loose Women for a number of years and made history when she was part of the very first all-black panel in the ITV show’s 21-year history back in 2020.

However, she was bombarded with horrific and nasty racist abuse as a result of her appearance on the show. The show earned them a RTS Award for Daytime Programme and was branded “inspiring and refreshing” by many viewers.

“There were lots of positive comments [afterwards] but, unbelievably, there was lots of racism, lots of racist comments. Like, ‘I switched off, who do they think they are?’ ‘As soon as I saw them…’ There was still lots of that kind of stuff,” she said.

“We have a really good team at Loose who protect us from that and also the digital team are amazing at scanning and ensuring that we’re as protected as possible. But it’s still there, but that’s what we’re challenging. We’re challenging old-fashioned, out-dated mindsets that need to be challenged,” she added to The Mirror.

“So if they come out of the woodworks, we can have a conversation and go, ‘Really?! Why would you say that?’ It wasn’t even us that needed to jump on them – everybody else on Twitter was bashing them. So I was like, ‘Oh, good luck with that!'”
