Kaye Adams had “sleepless nights” after hearing Loose Women is being cut by ITV. It was announced last month that the network had planned a major shake-up.

Some of the network’s biggest programmes, including Loose, Good Morning Britain, and Lorraine, will be affected, while This Morning remains untouched. While Lorraine and Loose currently air all year round, they will now be cut and broadcast for just 30 weeks.

Lorraine has suffered another blow, with her show being cut by half an hour while Good Morning Britain is extended. Now, Kaye has revealed that the dramatic news came “out of the blue” for her in a bombshell admission.

The 62-year-old also admits she has no idea what will happen with her job or her fellow panellists in the wake of the dramatic cuts. “To be perfectly honest, we have no idea at this point, what’s going to happen,” Kaye said. She went on to reveal that she didn’t “anticipate” the news.

Speaking on her How To Be 60 podcast with Karen MacKenzie, Kay continued: “I didn’t anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect, you get into a sort of rhythm of life. I had a couple of sleepless nights, I have to say, because it’s just like the rug’s been pulled from under your feet – what has been familiar.

“It’s going to have an impact. Lots of people will lose their jobs completely which is terrible, it’s a huge change.” But despite the shake-up, the broadcaster is trying to remain positive. She explained that it would allow her to “make some changes.” Currently, Kaye travels to London from Glasgow on a regular basis and often takes the sleeper train.

She went on to add: “But I gave myself a talking to and I listened to my own advice for once – change is hard, but it can be good. The past is a trap, don’t fear the future – I’m telling myself all these things. And I think maybe this is the nudge that I needed to make some changes in my life and I’ll just have to go with it.”

Prior to the news, Kaye revealed she had been planning on downsizing and moving into a smaller home, but now jokes that she may find herself in a one-bedroom flat. “And now I’ve lost my job, I might be in a one-bedroom flat somewhere,” she commented.

Kaye, however, isn’t the first Loose panellist to open up about the cuts. Actress Nadia Sawalha, who has appeared on the show since its launch in 1999, recently admitted she is self-employed so could be “let go tomorrow.” Some of the panellists work on a freelance basis, while others are on a PAYE contract with the network.

Speaking to her husband Mark Adderley on their joint YouTube page, the former EastEnders star said: “Do you know what, at the moment, all of us on screen are in work and are proud of what we do.

“But behind the scenes, there are people that are really suffering, and what you don’t realise is when you attack the show, you attack them, because you never see all the army of people behind the scenes and how hard they work.” Nadia became visibly emotional as she struggled to contain her upset.

While holding back tears, she said: “So to all my friends and colleagues behind the scenes who have just got a huge shock out of the blue, I’m so sorry.” She added that she “just can’t bear it,” and urged people to “be f***ing kind to people.” She explained that due to being self-employed, she risks being let go “tomorrow” or “in five years.”

She became tearful as she explained that dozens of people will be “made redundant out of the blue” and has seen people walking around “numb with shock.”
