Jenny Powell, 54, who left the show in 2005 but has since appeared as a guest, hit out at the ITV daytime show as she explained her reasons for “sacking it off”

Jenny Powell has revealed she quit Loose Women, claiming she felt “intimidated” by her fellow panellists.

The presenter, 54, who left the show in 2005 but has since appeared as a guest, hit out at the ITV daytime show as she explained her reasons for “sacking it off”.

Now, Jenny says it wasn’t one happy family behind-the-scenes and there was a bad energy brewing between the panellists at the time she decided to leave the show.

The TV star was on the programme with the likes of Coleen Nolan, Carol McGiffin, Kaye Adams and Ruth Langsford in the early 2000s, but didn’t give away any names when she spilled all on her time there.

“I sacked it off. I didn’t like the energy behind the scenes,” she said to The Sun.

“I always felt a bit intimidated of the other women. Maybe I’m just a bit sensitive.”

Mirror Online has contacted ITV for comment.

Jenny isn’t the only one to hit out at the programme which focuses on a panel of four female presenters who interview celebrities, talk about aspects of their lives and discuss topical issues.

Last month, Saira Khan revealed the real reason she quit the show – claiming bosses tried to make her join soft porn site OnlyFans as a PR stunt.

Saira, 52, told how the “shocking” request was the final straw in what she alleges was a string of desperate bids to get publicity for the ITV programme as ratings slipped.

She revealed how she was also asked to have a mould made of her vagina for a Body Stories campaign.

Last month, Saira Khan revealed the real reason she quit the showSaira alleged bosses cared more about viewing figures than her mental health.

Saira said: “The straw that broke the camel’s back was when one of the young producers was sent running after me to ask whether I would be prepared to open an OnlyFans account.” OnlyFans is a site where users post soft porn images of themselves for cash.

“To say I was shocked was an understatement,” Saira added. “I could see she herself was mortified to ask me. I replied, ‘You’re asking an Asian woman who has a husband and kids and comes from a Muslim family to open an OnlyFans account?’”

A spokesman for Loose Women said: “We strongly refute all of these claims. Duty of care is of paramount importance for all of our panellists. Saira left the panel almost two years ago and we wish her well.”

Princess Diana used an unexpected tactic to deliver a “revenge” blow to then Prince Charles after he admitted to an affair with Camilla.

Princess Diana daringly broke royal protocol when she emerged from a car wearing a revealing off-the-shoulder, short black dress after Prince Charles admitted he was unfaithful on June, 29 1994. Diana had bought the dress in 1991 but considered it too daring to wear at the time. But in a historic move, she wore it for the first time at a 1994 dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens – the same night Prince Charles confessed his affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles to Jonathan Dimbleby during an infamous TV interview.

The dazzling piece became known as the “revenge” dress. Undoubtedly chic, it had a plunging neckline and thigh-high split. Diana’s former stylist Anna Harvey said of the dress: “She wanted to look a million dollars… and she did.” The famous number was designed by Christina Stambolian for the Princess of Wales and took two dressmakers 60-hours to create the outfit.

The dress, which Diana bought from Stambolian’s shop for £900, featured an asymmetrical hem and a cinched waist. She paired the dress with stilettos and her beloved pearl and sapphire choker – originally a brooch given to her by the Queen Mother. And according to the Mail Online, Diana only wore Stambolian’s dress that night because rival designer Valentino had leaked that the Princess would be showcasing one of his designs.

Christina Stambolian said the Princess wanted a ‘special dress for a special occasion’ in her store back in 1991, according to Claudia Joseph’s book, Diana: A Life in Dresses. Stambolian previously recalled how Diana was initially unsure about the revealing design – and wanted it in cream rather than black. She said: “We sat down, and I drew a few sketches on a piece of paper. The dress was revealing, quite short and showed quite a bit of leg and flesh. Diana was not sure about it.

“She thought it was a bit risqué. She wanted everything more covered up, longer and the neck higher. I told her she had good legs, and she should show them. “Why not be daring?” I said. She asked her brother [Charles] and he said: “Do what you think is right.” Finally, she said “yes” to the style then we moved on to the colour. “I had black in my mind, but she wanted cream. To me Diana was a black and white sort of person. I didn’t like her in the pale pinks and blues with lots of beading.”

Stambolian has since said how she was “thrilled to see Diana wear it on that night of all nights” and referencing Swan Lake, she added: “She chose not to play the scene like Odette, innocent in white. She was clearly angry. She played it like Odile in black. She wore bright red nail enamel, which we had never seen her do before. She was saying: “Let’s be wicked tonight.”

Photographer Mark Saunders, the author of Dicing with Di, told the 1997 documentary Diana: In Search of Happiness, said of the moment she wore the dress: “Everyone remembers the night of the Dimbleby interview when Prince Charles admitted an affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles and look how Diana turned up at the Serpentine Gallery. I mean my God that was brilliant and I applaud her for it, I thought it was great. But that’s what Diana does, she manipulates and she’s very good at it.”

However, Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell claims the decision to wear the risk-taking dress did not come easy to the Princess. Speaking to Channel 5 documentary, Secrets of the Royal Dressmakers, he revealed: “She said, ‘I can’t go, I can’t face the world knowing what Charles has just said. And anyway I haven’t got anything to wear.’

“I went to her wardrobe room and pulled out the Christina Stambolian dress, and showed it to her.” He also added that she was worried that the slinky dress would not fit her anymore, having bought it three years prior, adding: I zipped her up and she looked a million dollars.”

A collection of Princess Diana’s letters she sent while on her honeymoon are set to fetch upwards of £20,000 at auction.

Nine letters written by the princess during the early years of her marriage to then Prince Charles are going under the hammer – with the oldest dating as far back as August 14, 1981, when she was just 20-years-old and returning from their honeymoon.

The royal couple returned from their two-week honeymoon cruise aboard the royal yacht Britannia on August 12, just two days before the first letter was written. In one of the letters – sent to her former housekeeper Maud Pendrey – the princess said her honeymoon was a “tremendous success” and wrote that she and Charles had a “glorious time” on their getaway.

But, according to the Daily Mail, the account contradicts what she later told her voice coach about her honeymoon, snippets of which were shared in a Channel 4 documentary, where she spoke about how she confronted Charles about cufflinks given to him by Camilla Parker-Bowles.

“On our honeymoon, cufflinks arrive on his wrists,” Diana said. “Two Cs entwined like the Chanel ‘C.’ Got it. One knew exactly. So I said, ‘Camilla gave you those, didn’t she?’ He said, ‘Yes, so what’s wrong? They’re a present from a friend.’ And boy, did we have a row. Jealousy, total jealousy. And it was such a good idea—the two Cs—but it wasn’t that clever.”

However, these points were not addressed in Diana’s wholly-positive August 1981 letter to Pendrey, which read: “I do hope you weren’t too tired after all the wedding activities, and that you were able to see a lot from where your seats were.” Diana continued: “The honeymoon was a tremendous success, and we had a glorious time catching up on our lost energy and sleep. I just wanted you both to know how deeply touched I am by your thoughtfulness and, again, a million thanks. Endless love and affection—Diana.”

Other letters written to Pendrey include the princess noting how happy she was during motherhood after the birth of her first baby, Prince William, on June 21, 1982 – and even said she wanted “masses more” children. “Enclosed is a picture of an extremely proud and lucky mother, and I just wondered if you’d like it!”

And in that same letter, Diana added “William has brought us so much happiness and contentment, and consequently, I can’t wait for masses more. We are up in Scotland until the end of October, which is particularly spoiling, but greatly appreciated.”

Two years later, while pregnant with Prince Harry in 1984, Diana is said to have been at her closest with Charles. “It was so kind of you both to have remembered us on our wedding anniversary,” Diana wrote from Highgrove on July 29, her and Charles’ third anniversary. “

“We were enormously touched by your card, and I just wanted to write and say a big thank you. Unlike some married couples, we both remembered the occasion, and luckily thought that the three years had flown past! What with the baby arriving soon, our lives seem to be very busy, but we’d have it no other way!”

The final two letters in the lot were written after Diana began her affair with James Hewitt, a cavalry officer in the British Army, who became her riding instructor, in 1986. In the first she writes: “I wanted to write and say how very sad I was to hear about Mr Pendrey,” she wrote on December 24, after the death of Ainslie. “I can only imagine that when something like this happens how empty you must feel.”

And the second, written two years later in 1988, also showed her compassion and good manners, with Diana penning: “It was so sweet of you to have sent us a lovely card for our anniversary, we were thrilled to bits to get it and very touched by your thoughtfulness.”

It is now 22 years since the letters first emerged in public, when they were originally sold for £22,000 by Keys auction house, in Aylsham, Norfolk, to hotelier Michael Rockall, who displayed them at the Whittlebury Hall, in Towcester, Northamptonshire.

At the time, Mr Rockall said of the letters: “I think this collection is amazingly exciting and I am overjoyed to have bought it,’ he said at the time. The price was pretty near the level we wanted to go to, and I thought it might go abroad. I feel very strongly that something like this should stay in England. I view it as being a particularly personal collection that the Princess wrote to someone who she would have known personally for a long time.”

The collection – which also includes 14 Christmas cards, a Royal wedding invitation and a signed photograph, as well as the letters – became the property of new owners Jeff and Carol Sargeant after Mr Rockall’s hotel was merged with the local golf course.

Now, the coveted items are being sold by California based Julien’s Auctions with a reserve estimate of £23,000. The auction house said of the lot on it’s website: “The collection of letters, encompassing thank-you notes, holiday greetings, and other correspondence, provides a rare look at Diana’s life beyond the carefully crafted public image.

“In her own elegant script, Diana’s warmth and genuine connection with others shine through. These letters reveal a woman who, despite her royal status, remained grounded and appreciative of the people in her life, from her staff to her close confidants.”

For quite some time now, journalist and media personality Megyn Kelly, who presently hosts a talk show and podcast, has been dabbling in controversy. As we all know how blunt she is; remember her recent bold comments about star Erin Moriarty?

The talk show host charged the actress with having plastic surgery on her face after comparing an old and a newer picture of her. Having said that, Kelly’s critical remarks did not target just her. Her opinions on a variety of celebrities led to her being highlighted in tabloid stories. She has made some hurtful comments and started outright feuds on multiple occasions.

But, prior to criticizing Moriarty for allegedly having plastic surgery, the former Fox News anchor reiterated her contempt for Meghan Markel, the Duchess of Sussex. Let us go back and see how Kelly subtly schooled the wife of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex before her comments about the actress made headlines.

Erin Moriarty is retaliating against online trolling and criticism regarding rumors that she has had plastic surgery, which came from former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly (via CBR). After the actress posted some new photos and videos to Instagram, some fans even began to argue that her cheekbones and face shape had changed.

However, the controversy has now grown even more since Kelly chose to voice her opinion on the matter (for whatever reason). The journalist revealed her surprise at seeing a recent photo of Moriarty on her podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show:

“I thought it was a face generated by artificial intelligence, but apparently it’s real. I find it a sign of mental illness. It’s extremely upsetting. It discourages me enormously. I just really want to get into the heads of these young girls and say, ‘Please don’t do this.’”

Moriarty chose to address the accusations on her Instagram account before deleting it. She criticized the journalist’s approach, alleging that she had contrasted an old, ten-year-old photo of herself with a recent one. She clarified that she had only applied cosmetics.

“I put on makeup that day, and it involves major contouring, and I remember leaving and feeling pretty…I saw the comments, scathing enough to turn my comments off.”

The journalist has never refrained from expressing her opinions over the years, even when they are sometimes harsh. That being said, there have been other occasions in which she has made offensive comments and ignited major arguments.

Megyn Kelly was discussing Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, just like the rest of the world, but not in a good way. She seemed to be irritated and demanded that the Duchess of Sussex stop calling Prince Harry “” (via the NY Post).

Kelly called Markle a ” on her SiriusXM podcast The Megyn Kelly Show, and she became agitated when Markle kept bringing up her marriage to the British royal family. The former Fox News host said for the couple;

“There seems to be no limit on their appetite for ripping on the royals to whom they owe all of their fame and literally most of their fortune.”

Kelly then pointed out that Markle called Prince Harry “” in an episode of the latter’s podcast when she was “

Not only that, but Kelly also voiced her thoughts about Markle’s decision to skip King Charles III’s coronation in May 2023, as The Daily Mail reported. She remarked:

“I’m glad she’s [Markle] not going. Who wants to sit and look at her try to pretend like she’s there in any way supportive of the royal family? She hates them, despite the fact that they made her a megastar.”

Well, Kelly never appears content when talking about Markle. However, it appears that this is merely one viewpoint. It does not seem like Prince Harry’s wife has responded to the podcast host’s criticism of her.

In a startling twist, former Duchess Meghan Markle finds herself embroiled in yet another controversy, this time involving a heated exchange…

In a startling twist, former Duchess Meghan Markle finds herself embroiled in yet another controversy, this time involving a heated exchange with none other than King Charles himself. Reports have surfaced, suggesting that Meghan, feeling rejected and marginalized by the British Monarchy, allegedly made threats against the future King.

The situation took a sharp turn when King Charles purportedly burned a letter from Meghan without even bothering to peruse its contents. This dramatic episode has only fueled tensions and further intensified the ongoing controversy surrounding Meghan. As critics question her motives, her fans rally to support her.

According to undisclosed sources, Meghan Markle, who rose to fame following her marriage to Prince Harry, allegedly vented her frustration and anger towards King Charles, expressing her discontent with her treatment within the royal family.

 

While the exact nature of these threats remains unclear, they have undoubtedly sent shockwaves through the corridors of the British Monarchy. Critics argue that Meghan’s behavior demonstrates a lack of respect for the institution she once vowed to uphold, while her supporters claim that her alleged threats are a desperate cry for justice and acceptance. 

Adding fuel to the fire, reports suggest that King Charles took a provocative step by burning Meghan Markle’s letter without even bothering to read its contents. This contentious act has been interpreted as a deliberate snub, further widening the rift between the royal family and the outspoken former Duchess.

Critics argue that burning the letter without giving it a fair chance only serves to perpetuate the narrative that the monarchy is unwilling to listen to Meghan’s concerns. Meanwhile, supporters of the royal family view this act as a necessary response to Meghan’s alleged threats and a means of safeguarding the dignity of the crown.

The events surrounding Meghan Markle’s alleged threats and the burning of her letter have triggered a wave of polarized opinions among the public. Online platforms have become hotbeds of discussion and debate, with users passionately defending or condemning the actions of both Meghan and the royal family.

YouTube channels dedicated to covering the latest developments have witnessed a surge in viewership, as individuals eagerly consume content that aligns with their preconceived notions.

Critics argue that Meghan’s alleged threats demonstrate a sense of entitlement and a willingness to disrupt the established order. They question her intentions and argue that her actions undermine the traditions and values of the British Monarchy.

On the other hand, supporters of Meghan contend that she has been unjustly treated by the royal family and the British media. They believe that her alleged threats are a desperate response to a system that failed to protect her and her mental well-being.

The alleged threats made by Meghan Markle against King Charles and the subsequent burning of her letter have thrust the former Duchess back into the spotlight, reigniting the controversy that has surrounded her since her marriage to Prince Harry. This episode has further divided public opinion and intensified the ongoing debate surrounding Meghan’s place within the British Monarchy.

As the world watches and waits for the next chapter in this unfolding drama, it remains to be seen whether reconciliation or further conflict lies ahead. One thing is certain, however: the controversy surrounding Meghan Markle shows no signs of abating anytime soon.

Shocking Revelation: Meghan Markle’s 10-Day Yacht Trip with Epstein in Italy Exposed by Karyna Shuliak

In a dramatic twist that rivals any high-stakes thriller, Meghan Markle’s connections to the world of high-profile scandals have resurfaced with a vengeance. According to YouTuber Paula M, a shocking conspiracy has emerged involving Meghan Markle, Sarah Ferguson, and some of the most notorious figures in scandalous history. 

Imagine a cold winter evening a decade ago, when Meghan Markle, then an aspiring actress with a penchant for high-profile connections, met with Sunday People journalist Katie Hines. Her goal was to gain media attention and make a splash in the UK. However, the meeting was far from glamorous. Markle, amid a divorce and struggling with her personal life, appeared unimpressive and subdued. During this encounter, Markle’s interest in prominent figures, such as footballer Ashley Cole, emerged—a fascination that would eventually lead her to Prince Harry.

The plot thickens when Paula M shifts focus to a legal twist involving Virginia Roberts, who accused Prince Andrew of sexual misconduct. In a surprising development, Roberts’ lawyer suggested that Meghan Markle might be called to testify. The reasoning: Markle, with her close ties to Prince Andrew, might possess crucial information about his behavior. Despite Markle’s reputation for dishonesty, this claim hints at a deeper, darker connection between her and the royal scandal.

The intrigue continues as Paula M reveals Sarah Ferguson’s involvement in this web of deceit. Known for her controversial and often questionable behavior, Ferguson has been a recurring figure in royal scandals, from borrowing money from Jeffrey Epstein to participating in dubious events. Paula M delves into the shadows, alleging that Ferguson’s manipulative strategies played a role in introducing Meghan Markle to the royal scene. According to this narrative, Ferguson used her connections to further infiltrate the royal family, leveraging ties with figures like Epstein and Harvey Weinstein. This dark influence, combined with Markle’s own ambitions, is said to have tarnished the royal family’s image.

The narrative takes another dramatic twist with the revelation that Meghan Markle’s association with figures like Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend, Karina Shuliak, is more than coincidental. Shuliak, known for her close ties with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, reportedly traveled exclusively with Epstein and his associates. Paula M suggests that Markle’s connection with Shuliak indicates deeper entanglements with Epstein’s circles, raising questions about her true role in these scandalous networks.

In a chilling climax, Paula M exposes potential financial motivations behind Markle’s actions. Allegedly, Markle’s earnings from her role in *Suits* were modest compared to the wealth she accumulated from her yachting trip. The suggestion that Markle’s lifestyle and connections were financially motivated adds another layer to the already murky narrative.

The pièce de résistance of Paula M’s assertion is that both Sarah Ferguson and Meghan Markle have used their positions to hold the royal family hostage. According to Paula M, Ferguson’s ongoing residence in the Royal Lodge and Markle’s manipulative tactics have placed the royal family in a precarious position. The narrative concludes with a call for reform within the royal family to prevent such manipulative figures from influencing its members.
