David Beckham was concerned for fellow athlete Tom Brady after his recent headline-making Netflix roast.

The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady Live Comedy Special streamed on Sunday and featured a slew of comedians and stars making brutal jokes about the 46-year-old retired NFL star.

During Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, David shared that he watched the live event but that he would “definitely not” subject himself to such scrutiny.

“No, the whole concept is quite funny. It was very funny,” the 49-year-old former soccer star admitted.

The British soccer star admitted that after viewing the roast, he reached out to Tom personally to check in on the Super Bowl winner.

“I know Tom quite well, and I must admit, I did fire him a message just to check if he was OK,” David shared. “He’s more than OK, but yeah, it was hard to watch.”

The event, hosted by Kevin Hart, featured Jeff Ross, Nikki Glaser, Sam Jay, Rob Gronkowski, Kim Kardashian and more stars roasting Gisele Bündchen’s ex-husband.

As the husband of Victoria Beckham, a former Spice Girl, David also weighed in on Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce’s heightened fame due to his relationship with Taylor Swift.

“I think he can handle it,” David said. “We know Taylor can definitely handle it.”

David also spoke about his hit Netflix documentary, Beckham, admitting that when he first saw a rough edit he didn’t like it. So he decided to share it with his wife of nearly 25 years.

“We got to the end of it. We looked at each other. We were so emotional,” David revealed. “It was like, we laughed, we cried, we were tired. Because we’d done so much in those 27 years. And that really was the moment I fell in love with the documentary because I knew that she loved it and that meant more to me.”

David isn’t shy about sharing his love for his wife.

“Yes, she’s beautiful. Yes, she was sexy. Yes, I fancied her, but in all honesty, I like a strong woman and I like the fact that she works hard,” David previously said of Victoria on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden podcast. “I like the fact that she’s a great mum. I like the fact that she looks after me sometimes, most of the time, and you know, we’ve created this life with four amazing children, which are the most important things in our life.”

It’s enough to spoil the duchess’s latest batch of strawberry jam.

New figures released by Netflix and obtained by DailyMail.com show that not only has viewer interest in Meghan and Harry fallen off a cliff,

the couple has been well and truly eclipsed by the popularity of their former friends, David and Victoria Beckham.

Engagement figures for 2023, released last week, reveal that the Beckhams’ eponymous documentary hit the top spot for global viewing with a whopping 43.9million views between July and December last year.

In that same period Harry & Meghan’s Limited Series Volumes I and II, limped in with just 1.9million views and 12.6million total views across the year.

When it first aired in December 2022 the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s docuseries was an instant hit, giving Netflix its biggest debut with 81.6million hours viewed in the first four days.

But, after an initial frenzy, figures began a steady slide as millions of viewers lost interest and the series lost traction well before the sixth episode aired.

The show has now slumped to 211 on the streaming platform’s global chart while ‘Beckham’ is No. 1 with 3.5 times the viewing figures and 208.5million hours viewed in the first two months alone.

The disparity is perhaps due in part to the fact that fans who had tuned into Harry and Meghan’s docuseries hoping for insight and intimacy were instead left tired by their relentlessly, ‘woe is me’ tone. Viewers complained about the couple’s self-absorption and the fact that for all their enviable privilege they seemed to do nothing but bemoan their lot.

In stark contrast ‘Beckham’ was a show that left viewers uplifted by the Beckham’s family life, relationship and work ethic. Fans raved at the couple’s ‘resilience,’ and marveled at Beckham’s self-effacing grit and ambition.

This was a couple viewers could get behind, where Harry and Meghan were a couple viewers could leave behind.

In recent months there has been increased speculation that Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, could lose the $100million deal that they inked with Netflix back in 2020.

Aside from their flagging docuseries the couple’s much-vaunted Netflix deal has so far only produced two shows which, the latest figures show, have struggled to generate any interest at all.

‘Heart of Invictus,’ released in August 2023 and covering Prince Harry’s games for wounded warriors wheezed across the line with just 300,000 views in 2023.

‘Live to Lead,’ released in December 2022, about inspiring world leaders and featuring interviews with Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Gloria Steinem garnered just 800,000 views.

And when it comes to bang for their buck the Sussex’s with their $100million deal are a long way from keeping up with the Beckhams whose 43.9million views cost Netflix a comparatively modest $20million.

Coincidentally that is the size of the Spotify deal that Harry and Meghan lost when it fell apart in 2023 with just 12 episodes of Meghan’s ‘Archetypes’ podcast to show for it.

Speaking at the time Spotify’s Head of Podcast Innovation and Monetization, Bill Simmons, famously described the couple as ‘grifters,’ saying, ‘I wish I had been involved in the ‘Meghan and Harry leave Spotify’ negotiation. ‘ The F***ing Grifters.’ That’s the podcast we should have launched with them.’

Now, sources are speculating that their Netflix deal may be about to go the same way with Meghan’s cooking and lifestyle show and Harry’s documentary about polo being described as ‘padding,’ by some, while others ask what they have left to share now that their relationship with the rest of the royal family is all but over.

Harry and Meghan’s one-time close friendship with Victoria and David Beckham has similarly soured. The former Spice Girl turned clothes designer and her husband were guests at the Sussex’s wedding back in May 2018.

Meghan often wore Victoria’s designs with the older woman opening her little black book of UK stylists to her when she first set up home in the country.

Later, according to biographer Tom Bower, David, 49, and Victoria, 50, offered the couple refuge in their Los Angeles home when they were looking for a place in the States.

But according to Bower a telephone call from Harry to the former Manchester United star left Beckham ‘furious’ and effectively ended the once warm friendship.

According to Bower the royals were concerned that close friends were leaking stories about them to the press and Meghan particularly suspected Victoria. Harry called and repeated this accusation to Beckham and the rest, and the friendship, is history.

Now, to rub salt into the wounds of the Beckhams’ soaring popularity in the face of the Sussex’s decline, Beckham has probably spent more time with King Charles III than Harry has this year, as the former England captain has been announced as the newest ambassador to the King’s Foundation.

The King and the former footballer are now reportedly ‘bee-keeping buddies’ who have exchanged pots of honey from their respective hives in Highgrove and Oxfordshire as well as bee-keeping tips.

Prince William ‘furious’ with Harry’s ‘rude’ way of addressing Princess Kate

Prince William has taken offence to his brother refusing to call Princess Kate by her preferred name.

Prince William is “furious” with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle because the pair “deliberately” refer to his wife as Kate instead of Catherine.

The Princess of Wales reportedly asked her friends to refer to her as Catherine instead of Kate just before she married into the Royal Family, because it is the name she prefers.

However, the Prince of Wales has reportedly taken offence to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex publicly referring to his wife as Kate “even when they were sending her get-well-soon messages after her cancer diagnosis”, according to a friend of the couple.

A friend of William and Catherine told The Daily Beast: “William takes offence at people calling Catherine ‘Kate’, because she has asked to be known as Catherine.

“It’s a fairly simple wish to respect. I’m sure Meghan wouldn’t like it if William started publicly calling her ‘Meghan Markle’.

“Of course it’s an utterly trivial thing, but those of us who know William know that it is one of the things that pushes his buttons. Pushing his buttons while he was going through his wife’s cancer seemed an entirely unnecessary and deliberate irritation.”

Another friend of the couple added that it was “bloody rude” of Harry and Meghan to call the Princess of Wales Kate.

“No one’s saying it’s responsible for all the trouble, but deliberately calling someone by a name they don’t like is just bloody rude,” said the friend.

“If Harry and Meghan were serious about healing their issue, a good first step would be to call her Catherine.”

The apparent reluctance on Harry and Meghan’s part to call the Princess of Wales by her preferred name was “an entirely unnecessary and deliberate irritation” and may have contributed to William and Kate’s refusal to respond to Harry and Meghan’s expressions of sympathy after her cancer diagnosis.

Catherine In Tears Over Princess Anne’s BIG MOVE At Important Point In Her Treatment Cancer Journey

The second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Princess Anne, is no stranger to living in the public eye, and all the difficulties and constraints that come with being a member of the royal family. Despite all the challenges she’s faced herself, she’s made an honest admission about why life as a royal has been much harder for Catherine than it’s ever been for her. As the Princess of Wales valiantly continues her courage battle against cancer in a heartwarming show of support and sisterly love, Princess Anne has reached out to Catherine with a curious and heartfelt get-well-soon message. Since her relationship with William was made public when she was a young woman, Catherine has been subjected to an intense amount of media scrutiny, with unflattering portrayals of her middle-class background and the nickname of Whitey Katie, often appearing in coverage about her before her marriage.

An important step in the treatment plan to fight her cancer and restore her to good health, Princess Anne understands the emotional trauma. then sent a heartfelt message to the princess in which she expressed her concern and her love for the beloved Catherine. For a documentary released to mark Anne’s birthday, she made these comments about how her life as a royal has changed for the younger generation. The 73-year-old puts this difference down to a couple things, one being age and the other big factor being the advent of social media, which she thinks has made things much more difficult for younger royals like Catherine and her husband, Prince William. When it comes to the qualities that make Prince William and Catherine Middleton’s relationship work, Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips, seems to consider these among the crown jewels.

Her and William make a fantastic team together. Their kids are great, and they have a balance of public life and try to be parents to three young children, which is always difficult. Indeed, Peter said that his cousin William and Catherine, who are parents to kids George, Charlotte, and Louis, have it pretty right in terms of juggling both their public duties and their private family life. Princess Catherine and her aunt-in-law, Princess Anne, get along very well, as they demonstrated when they attended their first joint engagement last year.

However, the royals typically approach meetings and public very differently. While the Princess of Wales has often been spotted shaking hands with royal fans during walkabouts, the Princess Royal was raised with the idea that it’s better not to, following the footsteps of her late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Reflecting on how meeting the public has changed since she became a working member of the royal family, The mother of two said, I mean, we never shook hands. She went on, The theory was that you couldn’t shake hands with everybody, so don’t start. So I kind of stick with that, but I notice others don’t. Referring to younger members of the royal family, Anne said, It’s not for me to say that it’s wrong, but I think that the initial concept was that it was patently absurd to start shaking hands. And it seems to me that it’s become a shaking hands exercise rather than a walkabout, if you see what I mean, so that has changed. this week, Princess Anne took on an honorable duty of presenting awards to distinguished individuals whose contributions have made a significant impact across various fields.

Among those honored was diana Parks, who received a commander of the british empire for her dedicated service to vulnerable children. Her tireless efforts have transformed countless lives, earning her this prestigious recognition. Continuing her legacy of her late husband roald Dahl, rianne finnegan was awarded the m b e for her pioneering efforts to promote diversity in nature conservation. Her work not only encourages inclusivity, but also inspires a new generation to connect with and protect the natural world, as princess anne continues to support her brother in the monarchy. Her roles in these investiture ceremonies underscore the royal family’s ongoing commitment to recognizing and celebrating public services and excellence.

Meghan Markle has just finished a tour of Colombia with her husband Prince Harry and the couple are currently working on two Netflix shows.

Harry & Meghan documentary series teased in Netflix trailer

Netflix’s announcement of a new Victoria Beckham documentary series could lead to a ratings rivalry between the Spice Girl and Meghan Markle.

The channel announced the collaboration today saying: “A new documentary series following Victoria Beckham and her fashion and beauty business is coming to Netflix! The series will tell the story of Victoria’s reinvention as a Creative Director of her own brand.”

While no date has been given or broadcast it is not unlikely the two women could find themselves pitted against each other for ratings. Harry and Meghan are currently working on two new series for the streaming giant – one which will “celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship” and a second one that will be shot at the US Open Polo Championship.

As such, Victoria joining the Netflix family, will be a blow for Meghan, whose previous offerings for the channel have received a lukewarm reception and failed to secure an Emmy nod. By contrast Victoria’s husband David’s offering for the streamer, entitled simply Beckham, received five Emmy nods something Victoria will be hoping to build on.

Express.co.uk has contacted representatives for Meghan Markle for comment.

The Sussexes first documentary series for the streamer Harry and Meghan was confirmed as Netflix’s second-biggest documentary series to date in January 2023.

Despite this it wasn’t well recieved by critics and it failed to secure any Emmy nominations.

Their second offering Live To Lead didn’t even crack the top 100 shows on release and received an even more brutal critical drubbing.

Meghan and Harry will be hoping their next series to fare better when they are released.

Meghan and Victoria were once said to be close friends, with the pop star turned fashion designer even attending her 2018 wedding to Harry in Windsor. However, it seems they have drifted apart which will only add to any ratings rivalry.

The Beckhams were friendly with Harry when he first started seeing Meghan and they were reportedly eager to make her feel welcome in the UK.

It was even said Victoria had given Meghan access to her little black book containing her favourite hairdressers and stylists in London.

However, the first sign of tension came when reports emerged about stories being leaked to the media after claims Victoria was helping out Meghan were published which left the Sussexes upset.

According to the Mail On Sunday, Harry confronted David with his suspicions in a phone call that left the ex-Manchester United star “furious”.

 

The New Duchess! Lady Louise Warns Meghan She Lost Her Final Title- -YOU ARE NOTHING, YOU WH0RE!-

In a stunning twist in the royal narrative, Meghan Markle finds herself eclipsed by the emerging presence of Lady Louise Windsor, the daughter of Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex.

This unexpected rivalry has stirred up considerable speculation and tension within royal circles, leaving Meghan grappling with her identity and relevance amid the monarchy.

Reports suggest that the former Duchess of Sussex has been left in tears as she navigates this latest challenge to her status.

Meghan Markle Faces New Royal Rivalry as Lady Louise Shines

In a stunning twist in the royal narrative, Meghan Markle finds herself eclipsed by the emerging presence of Lady Louise Windsor, the daughter of Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex.

This unexpected rivalry has stirred up considerable speculation and tension within royal circles, leaving Meghan grappling with her identity and relevance amid the monarchy.

Reports suggest that the former Duchess of Sussex has been left in tears as she navigates this latest challenge to her status.

Lady Louise’s ascent has not gone unnoticed.

With her poised demeanor and undeniable charm, she has captured the public’s affection, drawing comparisons to a young Queen Elizabeth II.

As she steps into the limelight, Meghan appears to be pushed aside, struggling with feelings of insecurity and self-doubt.

The contrast between the two women is stark, as Lady Louise’s elegant presence seems to resonate more with the public than Meghan’s past controversies.

Behind palace walls, whispers suggest that the royal family is aware of Lady Louise’s rising popularity, which may be causing friction among its members.

Meghan, known for her candid nature and strong advocacy on various issues, now faces a seemingly formidable counterpart in Lady Louise, whose quiet strength and dignified approach have won over even the most skeptical observers.

As the focus shifts from Meghan to Lady Louise, the former actress is reportedly questioning her role within the royal family.

Speculation about increasing tensions between Meghan and other royals has reached a fever pitch, with rumors of disagreements bubbling to the surface.

The public is keenly observing this unfolding drama, eagerly anticipating the next developments in this royal saga.

Meghan’s attempts to secure her position as a respected royal have been further complicated by Lady Louise’s emergence.

The young princess’s natural grace and commitment to duty have endeared her to the public, leaving Meghan feeling increasingly isolated from the institution she once sought to embrace.

While Meghan has strived to engage with the British public through charitable work, her controversial choices often overshadow her efforts.

In stark contrast, Lady Louise has garnered admiration for her unwavering dedication to her family and country.

This juxtaposition highlights Meghan’s ongoing struggle as she seeks to find her footing in a world that seems to favor her rival.

As Lady Louise continues to bask in the glow of her newfound royal status, Meghan is left to confront the reality of her diminished influence.

The pressure to meet the high expectations set by both media and public opinion has taken a toll on Meghan.

Reports suggest she feels overwhelmed and disillusioned with her royal duties.

Yet, amidst these challenges, Meghan’s supporters are rallying to encourage her to remain authentic and resilient.

Despite the obstacles she faces, Meghan is determined to leverage her platform for positive change.

She aims to make a meaningful impact on the world, even as she grapples with uncertainty regarding her future within the royal family.

The dynamics are shifting, and the stakes are high.

As the dust settles on this chapter of Meghan Markle’s journey, one thing is clear: Lady Louise’s emergence as a beloved figure in the royal family has cast a long shadow over Meghan’s aspirations.

Whether Meghan can rise above these challenges and reclaim her place in royal society remains uncertain.

However, the path ahead promises to be fraught with trials that will test her resolve like never before.

Saira Khan has opened up about her time on Loose Women and the real reason she decided to quit the ITV chat show after five years on the panel back in 2020

Saira Khan, the former Loose Women panellist, has opened up about her time on the show, why she decided to leave, and the friendships she maintains post-exit in a candid chat. In an exclusive with Woman’s Own magazine, the one-time Apprentice star who shot to fame as the runner-up in the inaugural 2005 series reflected on her stint from 2015 to 2020 on the panel of the hit daytime TV show.

She explained her departure from Loose Women, saying: “It was more about me growing up and saying, ‘Look, this is what I like, and this is what I don’t like,’ and some of the things that go on, I was just not comfortable with it, and I think you have to be honest with it.”

“It doesn’t mean you’re falling out, it just means it’s not enough for me.”

 

Khan also dished on her current ties with her ex-co-stars. “I recently went out with Ruth [Langsford] to go and see Coleen [Nolan] on her solo tour in Blackpool,” she revealed.

“I keep in touch with Andrea [McLean] and Denise [Welch]. I know people think I fell out with them all, but it wasn’t about the girls, it was more about me to be honest with you.”, reports OK!.

Post-Loose Women, Saira took on the gruelling SAS: Who Dares Wins, joining celebs like Kerry Katona, James Cracknell, Alexandra Burke, and Wes Nelson. She’s also been seen on the Jeremy Vine on 5 morning show, which she admits to preferring over her Loose Women gig.

“I wouldn’t go back to Loose Women I’ve done that and I think I’ve come out of it realising I want to move forward, and I want to do things that I really enjoy,” she shared. “Also, Jeremy Vine gives me space to talk about politics as well as just talking about my private life and who I am. I think people can get a bit bored of that, and the same subjects.”

“I also like the diversity of it, and that it’s not just all females there’s men and women, and I quite like that. It’s a bit more real life, and you can have a bit more laughter.”

When she joined Jeremy’s show earlier this year, she told The Mirror : “After taking a few years off the telly, it was nice to be back and I didn’t realise how much I missed it. It was Jeremy [Vine] who persuaded me to come back.”

She added: “I think it’s good to have a break and I feel more confident now about who I am and what I want to say.”

William In Tears REVEAL Catherine’s Health Update As Her Cancer Battle Took A More Serious Turn

In a heartfelt statement from Kensington Palace, Prince William has bravely opened up about the trials faced by his wife, Princess Catherine of Wales, as her battle with cancer intensifies.

The emotional weight of this situation is palpable, especially for William, who not only stands as her husband but also as the father of their three young children.

Watching Catherine endure the relentless challenges of her illness has been a source of profound pain for him.

The passage you shared appears to describe a deeply emotional statement from Prince William about his wife, Princess Catherine of Wales, as she faces a serious battle with cancer. However, it is important to clarify that this information is fictional. As of my last update, there are no credible reports or official statements regarding Princess Catherine having cancer or Prince William making such statements.

This passage might be part of a fictional narrative, creative writing, or misinformation. If you have any other questions or need assistance with a different topic, feel free to ask!

Prince William Opens Up About Princess Catherine’s Brave Battle with Cancer

In a heartfelt and emotional statement released by Kensington Palace, Prince William shared the painful reality of his wife, Princess Catherine of Wales, as she faces a serious battle with cancer. The Prince revealed the deep challenges their family has endured, expressing his anguish as a husband and father: “It pains me to see her endure the hardships of this unrelenting illness.”

Despite the terrifying diagnosis, Princess Catherine remains the most beloved member of the royal family, with her favorability rating holding steady at 61%. This public admiration has been a source of strength for her and the family as they navigate this difficult journey together.

The toll on Prince William has been significant as well. Balancing his royal duties with his role as a supportive husband and father, William has had to adjust his schedule to be there for his wife while fulfilling his responsibilities as the future King. Unfortunately, this has coincided with a decline in public confidence regarding his future role as monarch, with recent polls showing a 12% drop in the number of Britons who believe he would make a good king.

Nevertheless, William’s devotion to Catherine has never wavered. In a recent interview, palace insiders emphasized the depth of his commitment, noting how he has been by her side through every medical appointment and difficult moment. As the family spent the Easter weekend alone at home, focusing on Catherine’s recovery, they were able to draw strength from one another.

Prince William spoke candidly about the importance of unity, saying, “We are facing a challenging road ahead, but we will get through this together.” The couple’s three children have been a source of joy and hope during this time, providing much-needed comfort as they stand by their mother.

The royal family has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from people around the world. This global unity in hope for Catherine’s recovery has been a testament to the Princess’s enduring impact and the affection in which she is held by many.

During this challenging period, Princess Catherine has taken a break from the public spotlight to prioritize her health. Working closely with experts, she has embarked on a strategic plan for recovery, which includes undergoing preventative chemotherapy and making dietary changes to support her immune system.

Prince William’s unwavering support for his wife during this difficult time highlights the strength of their bond and their shared commitment to facing the future together, no matter what challenges may come.

Eamonn Holmes’ wife of 16 years Ruth Langsford has said ‘things aren’t easy’ as she voiced fears her TV star husband may ‘never be 100 per cent right’ amid his ongoing battle with chronic pain

Eamonn Holmes’ wife Ruth Langsford has told of her fears that he “might never be 100 per cent right” after suffering chronic back pain for almost two years.

The Loose Women presenter, 64, has been married to Eamonn for 14 years. And speaking about his back problems and ongoing daily physio sessions, Ruth said: “I don’t know how much Eamonn’s mobility will improve. We live in hope.

“He does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100% right. With any care situation – and there are millions of carers in this country – it isn’t always easy. It’s testing but we manage as a family.”

Speaking in Woman’s Weekly about the importance of good health and ageing, she added: “I look at Eamonn, who’s had his health and back problems, and it makes you realise how important your health is.

On Friday the Mirror told how TV legend Eamonn is taking part in painful physio sessions almost every day in a bid to get fully back on his feet. He had operations on his back to help with bulging discs but then faced a setback when he fell and broke his shoulder last year.

New photos showed him in London’s Notting Hill on two sticks and later in a wheelchair after another tough session.

A source close to 64-year-old Eamonn told the Mirror: “Eamonn has been using walking aids for around 18 months now so not much has changed unfortunately. He is doing everything he can but the lack of progress from the physio has obviously been a bit frustrating. But he continues to have physio sessions pretty much every day and continues to work hard in his rehabilitation.

“He is in pain a lot of the time and so that is not fun at all but he keeps going and he is loving his work still and he is a journalist at heart.”

Despite his daily pain, Eamonn continues in his job and thankfully sits down when working for GB News Mondays-Wednesdays which makes life easier.

Eamonnn himself has voiced fears in the past about how much of a recovery he can make. Speaking in January the presenter said the “harsh reality” could be that he may never be able to walk alone again unaided.

Discussing his woes, he said: “It’s as if somebody up there is playing with my life. In the past year I’ve had an operation on my back which went wrong and has confined me to a wheelchair. I’ve fallen and broken my shoulder. Honestly you could not make it up.”

Ruth has said ‘things aren’t easy’He added: “I have tried every treatment, but you go, ‘Maybe I’ll never get out of it,’ which is a harsh reality to face.”

Despite everything his relationship with Ruth continues to be strong and she helps him as much as she can. The couple first met in 1997 when they were introduced by mutual friends and they then dated for over a decade before Eamonn popped the question and they married in 2010.

Asked for the secret of their relationship, Ruth said: “I think always respect, mutual respect. And we laugh a lot. I think love and lust and everything’s wonderful at the start of a relationship. But really…you’ve got to have that connection as friends where you feel comfortable with each other.”

Loose Women was full of surprises on Wednesday’s episode as it celebrated the 40th anniversary of Cilla Black’s hit show, Surprise Surprise, which first aired in May 1984

Loose Women was full of surprises on Wednesday’s episode as Andrea McLean returned to the show four years after quitting and dropped comeback news.

During the latest instalment, the hit ITV chat show celebrated the 40th anniversary of Cilla Black’s hit show, Surprise Surprise, which first aired in May 1984. As such, the hour-long show had plenty of surprises in store for the panellists, audience and viewers at home. Throughout the episode, host Christine Lampard revealed that a former Loose Women star would be surprising everyone on air with some news and kept dropping hints.

Eventually, at the end of the episode, Andrea, 54, was revealed as she surprised everyone by returning four years after she quit back in 2020. Andrea, who was one of Loose Women’s longest serving stars, also dropped some news as she revealed that she would be returning to Loose Women again in September for the show’s 25th anniversary in a special milestone.

It comes as Loose Women star Andrea teased a return to the ITV daytime show, four years after she quit, earlier this year in April. 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.

Fans were stunned when Andrea announced she was walking away from Loose Women in 2020 after making her debut on the award-winning show back in 2007. However, she revealed earlier this year that she’s “open” to a return as she lifted the lid on her relationship with her former co-stars.

Addressing rumours she may be back with the Loose ladies this year, she said at the time: “I’m open to anything… for the past few years my answer has always been no. However, since coaching others, the door in my head has creaked open a bit…and suddenly people are knocking on the door again, which is nice. So yes, I could be coming back to screens this year, but I’m not saying any more than that!”

Andrea spent years sitting alongside Loose Women panellists, including Coleen Nolan, Denise Welch and Janet Street-Porter and said that while she still speaks to some of her former colleagues, she doesn’t keep in touch with all of them. Asked whether she’s still pals with the presenters, she told Woman’s Own magazine: “Yes, not everyone, in the same way that everybody doesn’t keep in touch with everyone they’ve worked with. I saw Brenda [Edwards] last week and Denise [Welch]. There are a few of us [who stay in touch]. I don’t go out very often, but I did attend Linda Robson’s book launch in London recently, she’s brilliant!”
