Loose Women has been part of the ITV daytime schedule for 25 years but show regular Kaye Adams has revealed that show bosses originally had very different plans for the programme
Kaye Adams has dropped some major Loose Women news ahead of the show’s 25th anniversary.
In September, the ITV daytime show will mark its milestone birthday with plenty of surprises in store for fans, including the return of former anchor Andrea McLean.
The 61-year-old star appeared on James Martin’s Saturday Morning on August 10 for the first time and the chef grilled the journalist on her time as a panelist on the all-female show.
Kaye explained: “Yeah, I think it was myself, Nadia Sawalha and Jane Moore were on the first programme in 1999.” James asked: “When you were doing that sort of show, did you think ‘this is something really special here’ because nothing else was like that.

She replied: “It’s funny you should say that because it was initially a month’s pilot and it was September time. It’s a time a year when television executives get funny ideas for weird programmes but actually, if i’m very honest, I thought ‘do you know what I think we might be onto something’.”
Over the past two decades, Loose Women has become a staple in the ITV schedule and last week, the show made history as TikTok star GK Barry became the first guest panelist who was born in the same year it started.

Kate couldn’t help by point out that co-star Frankie Bridge was no longer the youngest on the team. Throughout the show, Faye and fellow panelist Denise Welch make humorous quips about 35-year-old Frankie’s age, with Frankie seemingly getting riled up with the comparisons.
In May, it was confirmed that Andrea would be returning to Loose Women four years after announcing she was leaving the show The presenter spent more than 20 years on TV before she took a break from the spotlight to focus on her mindset app, This Girl Is On Fire, as well as her Mastering Midlife podcast with her husband, Nick Feeney.

During her appearance on the show as a guest, Andrea announced she was returning to Loose Women in September for a special episode. Christine Lampard responded at the time: “You’ve been such a fabric and part of the DNA of the show over all those years, so it’s going to be a celebration, I think, of Loose Women… it will feel very special to be part of that.”
