    Loose Women’s Jane Moore shows off new eyelids after cosmetic surgery procedure

    On Thursday’s ITV programme, the panellist looked bright and happy as she took a moment to show the audience and viewers the difference in her eyes a week after her surgery

    Loose Women’s Jane Moore showed off the results of her 45-minute cosmetic procedure after removing the loose skin from her eyelids.

    On Thursday’s ITV programme, the panellist looked bright and happy as she took a moment to show the audience and viewers the difference in her eyes a week after her surgery.

    Before undergoing the quick surgery, her eyelids used to mildly droop over her eyes. Doctors removed the excess skin, leaving her with brighter and more rounded eyes.

    The 61-year-old said: “Have you noticed I have had my eyes done? Back in the day, I used to have eyelids when I was younger and then as I got older, you see the top picture… they became more and more hooded and changed my eyes.”

    The procedure is called Blepharoplasty – which is the type of surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids.

    Jane continued: “They take just take the loose skin and It’s done in 45 minutes. You can get it done on the NHS if the skin is so bad it affects your vision. Obviously, mine was just you know, vanity I suppose.

    “I just looked tired. I looked tired and grumpy all the time, even though I wasn’t. I mean I know I am totally grumpy a lot of the time but now I look endlessly fascinated by everything.”

    She added: “I researched it really well. I was not nervous about the procedure. I was nervous about the result.”

    The audience oohed and aahed as they cheered for the TV presenter.

    Back in April, Jane had a completely different issue with her eye.

    The panellists paused the show briefly today to talk about Jane’s eye as some viewers had noticed it was looking rather red and contacted the programme quickly to express their concerns for the journalist and panellist.

    Speaking on the show, Charlene said: “We’ve had a lot of messages about your eye Jane?”

    As Jane replied: “It’s so nice that everyone looks out for you on this show. I came in this morning, and I didn’t even notice anything was wrong with my eye, and one of the ladies in make-up and I looked, and I look like something out of a horror film.

    “It doesn’t hurt. I have no idea what it was, someone said it might be a burst blood vessel but I don’t know how I’ve done it.”

    Linda Robson leaves Loose Women panel gasping with crude reference to marriage woes

    Loose Women’s Linda Robson left her co-hosts gobsmacked on the show today when she opened up about her marriage to husband of 33 years, Mark Dunford

    Loose Women’s Linda Robson didn’t hold back when she spoke about her marriage on the show today.

    Her co-hosts were gobsmacked when she revealed she’d lost her wedding ring amid rumours her relationship with husband Mark is on the rocks.

    As the panel discussed sentimental items, Linda, 56, revealed: “I did lose my wedding ring, but maybe that was a sign!”

    But nothing could have prepared the women for what the Birds of a Feather star said next when she revealed if she ever got a tattoo it would be a “no entry sign on my bottom.”

    As the audience gasped, Linda laughed and said: “No-one’s going there!”

    A stunned Christine Lampard said: “Well that conversation took a turn” as Brenda Edwards remarked: “I’m unhearing that.”

    Linda Robson
    The actress admitted that she has not had sex with her husband for two years
    Linda left Loose Women viewers shocked earlier this month when she confessed she and Mark haven’t had sex for two years.

    Talking about whether a sex hiatus could be good for a relationship, she said: “Can I just say I’ve been celibate for two years?”

    Following her revelation, Linda later admitted she’s got no time for romance and would rather go on holiday alone.

    “I can’t be a**** with all that,” she explained. “I’m just happy going out with my mates and my children and my grandchildren.

    “If I’ve got three or four days off work, I’ll just go to Mallorca. I’ll get a flight out there. Stay in a hotel hopefully full of Germans so no-one will recognise me and just have a nice relaxing time.

    “I just love sitting on the sun bed, round the pool, on the beach, reading a book. I would like to take a cruise round the world on my own.”

    The Loose Women star has been married to husband Mark Dunford for 33 years, but amid claims the pair’s relationship was in crisis, Linda put the rumours to bed in May – insisting she and Mark were happier than ever.

    Rumours spread after the actress jetted off on holiday to Spain without her other half, but the Loose Women star dubbed break-up reports as ‘rubbish’.

    “That’s a load of rubbish,” she told The Sun. We’re still living together. We both love our kids more than anything else in the world, obviously you have a few hiccups in every marriage.

    “We’ve been married 33 years so it’s not going to be all plain sailing, but we’re still together at the moment.”

    Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha proudly paraded her bikini body as she stripped off on holiday after teasing fitness fanatic Vanessa Munley for her ‘beautiful a**e’

    Nadia Sawalha has been praised by fans for showing off her ‘real body’ as she flashed her bum in the sea.

    The Loose Women star, 58, is known for her body positivity posts and regularly rips celebrities for their ‘perfect’ Instagram videos.

    In her latest post, the mum-of-two compared herself to fitness fanatic Vanessa Munley as she larked around on the beach in a thong with her husband, Mark.

    Mixing the clip with shots of Vanessa showing off her tiny pink two piece, Nadia, who looked gorgeous sporting a sage glittery bikini and naturally curly hair, wrote: “#insatgramvsreality. Turn the volume up ! Bloody @mark_adderley added sound affects without me knowing!

    Nadia’s video went down a storm with fans, including Vanessa, who replied: “Hahahha omg hilarious!! Thank you so much.”

    Another fan said: “I absolutely love why you do these.” A third wrote: “There she is keeping it fricking real.” While a fourth added: “love this, it’s disability awareness week soon, you are amazing re creating the not so perfect body image xx.”

    The star looks like she’s wearing HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) patches in the photos after correcting fans, who thought they were to help stop her smoking last year.

    When posting a bikini photo in 2022, some of Nadia’s followers thought the skin-coloured plasters were nicotine patches. However the actress replied, saying: “That’s an HRT patch not a nicotine patch as some of you think.”

    Fans were quick to applaud the star for being openly embracing her menopause treatment, with comments pouring in including: “Loving the HRT patch!” while another commented: “It’s the HRT patch for me Nads!”

    The Celebrity MasterChef winner is best known for being a Loose Women panellist as well as appearing on EastEnders from 1997 to 1999, playing the role of Annie Palmer.

    However, Nadia recently revealed she left the soap because she was continuously given ‘rubbish’ storylines.

    Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: “I remember me and Adam Woodyatt wondering how we were going to cope if we had to do one more week of our rubbish storyline. Because at one point my storyline went a bit weird when I was working for the council with the rubbish.”

    However, when she got the gig, Nadia was delighted, sharing: “When I got the part I could not believe it. I was so happy. I was so broke.

    “I remember thinking there wasn’t going to be a Christmas that year, that’s how broke I was. I was literally thinking about pennies on the street and so it was totally extraordinary.”

  • Fiona Phillips’ diagnosis hit Coleen Nolan ‘like ton of bricks’ after own family heartache

    Fiona Phillips’ diagnosis hit Coleen Nolan ‘like ton of bricks’ after own family heartache

    Fiona Phillips’ Alzheimer’s diagnosis led to well wishes and support from fellow ITV stars, including the Loose Women panel on Wednesday’s show

    Loose Women star Coleen Nolan has revealed Fiona Phillips’ Alzheimer’s diagnosis “hit her like a ton of bricks”, as it brought back her own family’s experience of the disease.

    Fiona, 62, announced her devastating news on Tuesday in an interview with The Mirror, where she has been a columnist for almost 20 years.

    The GMTV favourite and TV presenter learned the news from doctors 18 months ago, while the disease has impacted her family and her life for decades.

    After close family members battled the disease across her life, including both of her parents, Fiona shared her own diagnosis which she received aged just 61 years old.

    The 62-year-old TV favourite was told she had the illness a year ago after suffering months of brain fog and anxiety.

    Fiona is now undergoing trials for a revolutionary new drug, which scientists hope could slow or even reverse the illness for millions of sufferers in the years to come.

    On Wednesday, a number of ITV stars shared their love and support for Fiona following her health news.

    Panellist Coleen admitted she “could have sobbed” when she learned the news, as she recalled her mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s that “traumatised” her family.

    Coleen emotionally confessed her constant fear that she too will be diagnosed with the disease, after seeing her mother go through it before her death in 2007.

    As the panellists all shared their “upset” over the news after Fiona confirmed her diagnosis, Coleen shared her “shock” especially with Fiona being 62 years old.

    She said on the show: “I was so shocked, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve experienced Alzheimer’s with my mum and I know how as a family, how traumatic that was for us and still is to a degree.

    “But it’s less shocking when someone’s in their late 70s or 80s, you always assume even myself I think I’ll probably have some form of dementia… but she’s 62.”

    Coleen went on: “Of everything we’ve gone through with my family, I’d say Alzheimer’s for me as a family member was the worst to watch someone you love go through. I feel for her family, her husband, her kids.

    “Hopefully these drugs she is trying will slow it down or reverse it and that’s brilliant. I was really shocked and I could have sobbed when I heard her talk about it, because selfishly it brings everything back that you’ve gone through, so I wanna send her all our love really.”

    On her own fears of having the disease, she said: “It’s something I fear every single day. Every time I forget something, every single time I forget a name or where I’ve put something, this fear overtakes me, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got it’. So I wouldn’t like to know I think it would ruin my life.”

    Host Christine Lampard then shared a public message to Fiona, saying: “Fiona we are sending you all of our love and to the family, and wishing you all the very best and hopefully we can see you again soon.”

    Fiona’s news became public on Tuesday, and the TV presenter referenced the battles her family members, including both her parents, have had with the disease.

    She revealed: “This disease has ravaged my family and now it has come for me.

    “And all over the country there are people of all different ages whose lives are being affected by it – it’s heartbreaking. I just hope I can help find a cure which might make things better for others in the future.”

    Fiona went on: “It’s something I might have thought I’d get at 80. But I was still only 61 years old.

    “I felt more angry than anything else because this disease has already impacted my life in so many ways; my poor mum was crippled with it, then my dad, my grandparents, my uncle. It just keeps coming back for us.”

    Fiona has been carrying the secret of her illness for 18 months but on Tuesday she chose to share the news with readers of the Mirror where she has been a columnist for almost 20 years.

    She told us: “There is still an issue with this disease that the public thinks of old people, bending over a stick, talking to themselves.

    “But I’m still here, getting out and about, meeting friends for coffee, going for dinner with Martin and walking every day.”

    Denise Welch shares how she handles tough moments and sadness as Matty Healy’s mum

    Loose Women presenter Denise Welch opened up about how much she missed her son Matty Healy when he went on tour and cherished the time she gets to spend with him

    Loose Women star Denise Welch has opened up about the sadness she feels about being Matty Healy’s mum.

    Matty, 36, has had no end of controversial headlines including accusations of racism, Islamophobia and misogny.

    Most recently the 1975 frontman was linked to global singing sensation Taylor Swift as it was rumoured the two enjoyed a brief affair following her split from Joe Alwyn.

    Discussing her son in a new interview, Denise, 65, opened up about how sad and hard it is being away from Matty while he’s on tour, saying she “misses having him to myself”.

    She also discussed the moment he told her he needed to go to rehab for heroin addiction.

    The former Corrie actress has tackled her own fair share of demons, often discussing how she abused drugs and alcohol.

    Speaking to The Sunday Times in a new interview, Denise said she was shocked when she first realised how low her son was.

    She said: “I had to stand back and realise that Matty was the son of an alcoholic, and I had to come to terms with the shame that brought.”

    Denise later added: “But Matty said, ‘Mum, I wouldn’t be who I am if our house wasn’t a bit of rock’n’roll.”

    In 2017 Matty checked spent seven weeks at a rehab clinic in Barbados to treat his heroin addiction and is still in recovery.

    The lead singer has written openly about his drug use in songs, and although still drinks alcohol and smokes cigarettes no longer uses heroin.

    One thing Denise did not speculate on was her son’s rumoured romance with pop icon Taylor Swift.

    The showbiz world was stunned back in May, when it was claimed the two singers had reportedly struck up a romance following the American star’s shock split from British actor Joe Alwyn.

    Speaking to The Sun, a source close to Shake It Off hitmaker said at the time: “She and Matty are madly in love. It’s super-early days, but it feels right.

    “They first dated, very briefly, almost ten years ago but timings just didn’t work out. Taylor and Joe actually split up back in February, so there was absolutely no crossover.”

    But dreams of a lasting love story for the two stars came to an end a month later, when it was reported the pair had called time on their brief union.

    Earlier this week, The Sun claimed Matty and Taylor have reunited already and “want to make it work at all costs” – planning to meet up with each other during tour dates. The source added how Matty is “utterly smitten” with Taylor.

    However, a source close to Taylor has told MailOnline : “They are absolutely not together and aren’t even in contact anymore.”

    An insider close to Matty echoed the statement when speaking with the Mirror.

    Amid all the speculation, Matty – whoses exes include FKA Twigs and Hasley – has been seen sharing a lingering hug with brunette artist Sarah Teare in London.

    It’s Not Living singer Matty, was pictured in an orange jumper, appeared tired as he carried two coffees to meet his pal with the pair then seen hugging.

    Sheila Hancock forgets her age as she admits she hates being called a ‘national treasure’

    Sheila Hancock was praised by viewers as she made her debut on Loose Women on Tuesday’s episode of the show, talking to the panellists about her upcoming new book Old Rage

    Sheila Hancock forgot her age as she admitted she “hated” being called a “national treasure” during a lively appearance on Loose Women.

    The TV and theatre actress made her debut on the ITV daytime show on Tuesday and spoke about recently celebrating her 90th birthday.

    However, she complained about being made to attend a family party, and as she said she would rather “go for a drink” to celebrate, she stunned the panel when she forgot her own age.

    “80 is a hell of a milestone, I feel old now,” she said, as Charlene White exclaimed, “90! You’re 90!”

    Sheila rolled her eyes and laughed as she confessed she’d lost track of time as she’d got older.

    “I didn’t even notice my 80th,” Sheila explained. “I felt exactly the same, But suddenly, when you’re 90, people start helping you over the road.”

    She then poked fun at the Loose Women staff behind the scenes, as she said they treated her differently because of her age, and even asked if she “wanted a carer to come with me”.

    “I feel about 100, really,” she lamented. “But I don’t feel treasurable,” Sheila quipped, as she blasted being called a “national treasure” just because of her age.

    “If you get as old as me, they automatically call you (a national treasure), and it’s utterly untrue. You get labelled a treasure, even though you might be, like I am, absolutely vile,” she cackled.

    “It’s just because you’ve reached that age and you can walk across a stage without falling over,” Sheila quipped.

    She went on to discuss her new book, and the audience gasped as she revealed she had written to Janet Street Porter to ask her for a job at the BBC back in the 1980s, but was ignored.

    “I wrote a letter, and you didn’t even reply,” Sheila scolded, leaving the red-haired journalist quivering.

    “I’m going to find that letter and write a reply,” Janet stated, prompting Sheila to joke: “And hopefully give me a job.”

    And viewers were bowled over by the veteran star’s honesty. “What a refreshing change to have someone like Sheila Hancock on #LooseWomen,” one tweeted while a second agreed: “Hasn’t she been fantastic.”

    While one was surprised to find out her age, writing: “F*** me, Sheila Hancock is never 90!!!”

    The X Factor star is dressed in a yellow sports bra and shorts and has her trademark blonde hair tied back, while Samantha is kitted out in a teal top and black leggings. Stacey also revealed in the update that she had taken her 18-month-old daughter, Rose, to the session to make things ‘easier’ on husband Joe Swash as the EastEnders actor watched their five other children.

    The update comes shortly after Stacey was ‘mum’ shamed by trolls online, after some of her followers noticed that Joe’s teenage son, Harry, is missing from many of her Instagram photos.

    Earlier this month, Stacey addressed her fans’ surprise over the news she has a ‘secret’ sixth sibling.

    “Loads of you were like, ‘I did not know you had another sister, where have you been hiding her?’ She’s actually my step-sister but I would never call her that because we grew up together, so she’s my sister,” the 33-year-old explained. “All together there’s like seven of us. We were a really big blended family. So I’ve got one step-sister, two step-brothers, my brother and sister and then my dad and step-mum had another baby so I’ve got another half-brother.”

    Stacey went on to share a short clip of the vigorous workout, which included intense reps of lifting dumbbells and stretching with resistance bands.

    Despite admitting to finding “EVERYTHING so hard,” the Loose Women star said she was “proud” of herself for pushing through the pain. She also credited Samantha for filling her with “motivation,” adding that she feels “so much better” about herself when she’s exercising.

    “I have the craziest work family schedule and honestly it’s [the workout] given me so much energy,” Stacey revealed.

    Samantha echoed Stacey’s positive attitude over on her own Instagram, reposting her famous sister’s story with the caption, “She is getting very very strong. Watch this space.”

    When she’s not getting her clients into shape, Samantha and her husband Aaron are busy parenting their son, Axel River, and daughter Poppy.

    Carol McGiffin says Barbie movie is hugely offensive and slams Margot Robbie casting

    Carol McGiffin has not held back when sharing her thoughts on the new Barbie movie as she slammed Margot Robbie’s casting and reveals who she thinks would have been perfect for the plastic role

    Former Loose Women star Carol McGiffin has lashed out at Greta Gerwig’s new Barbie movie as stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling continue their mammoth press tour.

    Broadcaster Carol, who is known for her brutal shutdowns, says everything she knows about the soon to be release flick has ‘offended her more than anything’.

    The ex ITV star also slammed the casting of Margot Robbie as America’s favourite doll and said UK star Katie Price would have been a much better fit in the lead role.

    Early Barbie reviews have been hugely positive, with some critics insisting Gosling could earn an Oscar nomination for his portrayal as Ken.

    But Carol, 63, doesn’t share the same views as she hit out in style in her latest column.

    “I have nothing against Barbie, the Seventies doll,” Carol wrote in Best magazine, before adding: “But everything about the new movie offends me like nothing has before and I’ve not seen it, nor will I. Because you just know that even though she was an icon of an age gone by, Hollywood will somehow turn her into a professional feminist.

    “And Margot Robbie so miscast. The obvious person to play the plastic, out-of-proportion doll with the pink house was Katie Price!”

    The movie portrays what the dolls created by Mattel would do if they were left completely alone, with no real human interactions. However, their life is thrown into chaos when they travel to what is said to be the real world in their car which spins around in the air.

    Despite receiving widespread praise, writer Greta Gerwig explained she was terrified to take on the job after Margot Robbie and Warner Bros had purchased the rights to the movie.

    She also believes that Margot Robbie has been miscast

    “It’s not like a superhero, who already has a story. It felt very much like it was going to be an adaptation,” she told The Guardian, before adding: “Except what we were adapting is a doll – an icon of the 20th century.”

    But while Gosling and Robbie may have taken the lead roles, Gerwig also had her eyes set on Timothée Chalamet and friend and co-star Saoirse Ronan making a cameo appearance. Gerwig had previously worked with Chalamet and Ronan on the 2019 coming-of-age movie, Little Women.

    Speaking about cutting Saoirse’s cameo from the movie, Greta said: “Well, it was always going to have to be like a sort of smaller thing because she was actually producing at the time, which I am so proud of her for,” and of Timothée, she added: “But it was going to be a speciality cameo. I was also going to do a speciality cameo with Timmy. Both of them couldn’t do it and I was so annoyed. But I love them so much. But it felt like doing something without my children. I mean, I’m not their mom, but I sort of feel like their mom.”

    Last year, Ronan told People that she was supposed to play “another Barbie” while the crew were filming in London but she was left gutted when she discovered she couldn’t take part.

  • Loose Women dramatically cuts off as fans ‘work out’ famous identity of secret sex writer

    Loose Women dramatically cuts off as fans ‘work out’ famous identity of secret sex writer

    Loose Women got a little bit saucy during its final broadcast of the week, as Judi Love read out some experts from a new erotic book – with viewers working out the identity of the secret famous author

    Things got heated on Loose Women today – but not in the usual way.

    The ITV show, no stranger to hosting some heated debates, quickly cut to an ad break during one steamy segment

    Panelist Judi Love was on hand earlier today to read aloud an extract from the latest erotic novel from mystery writer The Secret Socialite.

    But as the popular comedian reached a sex scene passage, describing a man as “huge”, the daily show quickly went off air as an advert began to appear on viewers’ screens.

    In a seductive voice, Judy read out a snippet which had the studio giggling. She said: “His tongue brushed over her lips, she moved her body instinctively into his – they were an exact fit. They were wet and fully clothed as she could feel his huge…”

    Loose Women
    The secret author appeared hidden behind a screen
    The author of the steamy book series is said to be a famous woman who is staying anonymous in order to keep penning the books without risking changing her public reputation. Speaking on Loose Women today, Nadia Sawalha revealed it has taken a lot of effort to get the novelist in without revealing her identity.

    However, those watching the ITV show think they’ve worked out who the famous woman responsible for penning the saucy books is. “Well this is Sarah Ferguson 100% who else talks like that,” one guessed on Twitter as the segment aired, with another adding: “Just what I thought.”

    “I thought it sounded a bit like Heather Small,” one viewer suggested, as another pointed out the secret author’s silhouette revealed a tell-tale sign that exposed their identify, writing: “I noticed her [Sarah Ferguson] chin in the profile as my family has the same chin so we’ve talked about it before lol.”

    Whilst another urged the author to reveal themselves, adding: “If I was her child, I would be extremely proud if her. Don’t be ashamed to identify yourself. #loosewomen Come out and don’t be ashamed of your past!! You wrote a book for heavens sake. You won’t reply, but it’s out there! Regards.” Someone else pondered: “That sounds like Kelly Hoppen.”

    The Secret Socialite’s latest book, Naked in Mayfair, hit bookshop shelves last month and follows the story of Ava, a blonde bombshell and newly divorced banker who leads a glamorous life in Mayfair and is looking for love again. Naked in Mayfair promises to give readers an illuminating glimpse behind closed doors, in the back of a Bentley and at 30,000 feet.

    During the author’s appearance on the ITV show, she was only referred to as Ava, which is also the name of the book’s main character. Outwardly, book character Ava is confident and successful, yet she feels alone in the world as she gives the reader an insight into her search for love, meaning, inner peace – and ultimately, self-acceptance.

    She captioned her funny clip: “For godsake @mark_adderley just make me look sexy ?!!!!! #DOINGITFORTHGRAM #influencerfail.” In the video, Nadia was seen lying on a sun lounger as Mark could be heard from behind the camera saying: “It doesn’t look natural. What am I doing.”

    He then turned the water on, splashing Nadia right in the face. She was left drenched before trying again in another part of the spa. This time, Nadia wanted to be surrounded by bubbles but eneded up tipping backwards and getting a mouthfull of water.

    Despite not getting an influencer-style pic for her Instagram, Nadia’s fans loved her video as one said: “The most “real” woman on Instagram.”

    “I’m laughing at the lifeguard he’s probably in stitches,” added another. Someone else wrote: “You two are such a double act lol. Love you both.”

    “You both are fabulous. Such a lovely couple. So funny and brighten up my day. Always make me smile,” gushed a fourth. “So refreshing, honestly,” commented another.

    Nadia often takes to her social media to make digs at other celebs trying to get their “perfect” pics. She recently compared herself to fitness fanatic Vanessa Munley as she larked around on the beach in a thong with her husband, Mark.

    Mixing the clip with shots of Vanessa showing off her tiny pink two piece, Nadia, who looked gorgeous sporting a sage glittery bikini and naturally curly hair, wrote: “#insatgramvsreality. Turn the volume up ! Bloody @mark_adderley added sound affects without me knowing!

    “Did you miss us ! Back tomorrow! @vanessamunley is a goddess and works her a**e off for that beautiful a**e !!!” Nadia’s video went down a storm with fans, including Vanessa, who replied: “Hahahha omg hilarious!! Thank you so much.”

    The Celebrity MasterChef winner is best known for being a Loose Women panellist as well as appearing on EastEnders from 1997 to 1999, playing the role of Annie Palmer.

    Mum-of-two Nadia is often praised for her body positive messages and for being “relatable”. Over Christmas, Nadia posted a video copying a model doing up her jeans before relaxing onto a leather armchair.

    Wearing her bra, she wriggled and attempted to pull up her jeans, before eventually falling and collapsing onto a leather sofa. She captioned the clip: “Relate?” alongside laughing emojis with the hashtag “riots not diets” and was met with praise for her ‘relatable’ video after indulging over the Christmas break.
