Janet Street-Porter spoke about her time on another popular ITV show she starred in over the weekend during Tuesday’s instalment of Loos Women.
Loose Women star Janet Street-Porter was left squirming in her seat during Tuesday’s episode of the popular ITV chat show.
He co-host Jane Moore couldn’t resist bringing up Janet’s recent stint on Celebrity Catchphrase, which had aired over the weekend.
As a clip rolled showing Janet’s attempt at the game show, it was painfully obvious that things hadn’t gone quite as planned for the TV personality.
Once the footage wrapped up, Janet couldn’t hide her mortification about how she fared on the programme.
With a cheeky grin, Jane quizzed her about whether she’d actually seen the show before participating, to which Janet humorously defended herself: “I watched one episode and I thought I understood it.
“But, all I can say in my defence, m’lord, is that my brain is wired differently.”

She confessed to her fellow panellists that she had been over-analysing the phrases instead of sticking to the show’s famous catchphrase, “say what you see.”
Janet went on to share: “What I will say, after my disastrous recording, they came up to me and went, ‘What a laugh, Janet, you are the worst contestant.'”
The studio audience responded with a collective groan of empathy upon hearing the harsh feedback Janet received.
Yet, the 78-year-old quickly bounced back by reminding everyone of her past game show glories, reports Belfast Live.

She proudly stated: “I’ve won Tipping Point, I’ve won the Weakest Link and I’ve won Pointless.”
This revelation was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience, clearly impressed by her track record on other quiz shows.
Jane asked Mariella Frostrup about her take on games, the ITV star explained that she’s not a fan, admitting: “Quizzes are a nightmare, particularly, I think if you’re a woman of a certain age, the old brain fog sets in-“.

Janet couldn’t resist interrupting, insisting she didn’t get brain fog, prompting a cheeky retort from Mariella, who replied: “Well, what happened to you on Sunday then?”
Janet, none too pleased with the jibe, hit back: “I’m sorry, Mariella, that is not a general knowledge quiz.” To which Mariella responded, “No, but it’s a quiz.”
Loose Women is available to watch on ITVX.
