When the show aired its first episode in 1999, the straight-talking panellist and former actress was sceptical that it would last but said she “never wanted to be vanilla”

Nadia Sawalha has hit back at critics of her on Loose Women.

The straight-shooting presenter has worked has a panellist on the ITV show since its humble beginnings 25 years ago and admits. And she admits, by the nature of the show, she won’t appeal to everyone.

The former Celebrity Masterchef winner told Bella: “”With a big audience, you’ve got to accept that some of them aren’t going to like you. It doesn’t bother me, I just do what feels right.

“I never wanted to be vanilla. I’ve never wanted everybody to like me because I’m made up of lots of different things.”

Nadia was sceptical that the show would last, believing everyone would “get sick” of “whatever it is that we’re saying”.

In an interview with Bella, Nadia, who was an actress on EastEnders, Casualty and The Bill, said Kaye (Adams) asked her: “How long does a woman have a conservation with her friends?” Nadia, who was reminiscing about that first episode, said she “was right”.

“We’re at our best on Loose Women when we take a story and put it through our own lives. How do we feel about stuff rather than simply reporting on it. I personally like it best when we’re having a lot of fun as well. I love it when we’re having a bit of silliness – those are my favourite shows.”

Never afraid to speak her mind, Nadia and her husband, Mark Adderley, lashed out at Rachel Riley earlier this year over an “apology” issued after accusations of promoting Islamophobia. In another recent controversial moment, the presenter shocked fans with a fiery row with Denise Welch over Harry and Meghan.

And Nadia was recently warned she would be “be in trouble” after blurting out an expletive, with the show then descending into chaos. Her recent comments came amid an ongoing health campaign calling for a cancer drug, known as Enhertu, to be made available on the NHS.

She joined the campaign with her friend, Hannah Gardner, and dubbed the drug a “game-changer” for women with secondary breast cancer. Nadia also discussed her struggles with food and how she had a “terrible relationship” with her body despite her body positive views, which have garnered appreciation from fans.

Loose Women star Denise Welch has confirmed her son Matty Healy has got engaged just months from his split from Taylor Swift as she branded his fiancée ‘gorgeous’ and revealed details of their romance

Denise Welch has confirmed her son Matty Healy’s engagment, insisting she has “everything she wants in a daughter in law”.

The Loose Women star addressed the rumoured engagement after Matty shared a snap of his girlfriend Gabbriette Bechtel wearing a ring on Instagram. Denise said: “I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged. They went over to see their friends Charli and George in New York. I woke up this morning to the fact they’ve put it on Instagram. Instagram official, he has got engaged to Gabbriette. Black diamond, he had it made for her and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

“She is from Los Angeles, she is absolutely gorgeous, she does have a rat. We couldn’t be happier, she is everything that I would want in a daughter in law.” Model and musician Gabbriette, 26, showed off her huge diamond ring on social media while watching Charli XCX perform. Captioning the snap, she said: “Marrying the 1975 is very brat @trumanblack.” Matty, who is the lead singer of band The 1975, re-shared Gabbriette’s snap onto his own account.

Matty, who is the son of Denise and Tim Healy, started dating Gabbreitte last September. She is the lead singer of punk rock band Nasty Cherry. Their romance came after the high profile fling between Matty and pop star Taylor Swift. Taylor has since gone on to enjoy a high-profile relationship with Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce.

Fans were stunned by the engagement news as they flocked to social media to share their thoughts. One said: “cannot believe matty healy just announced his engagement by reposting his fiancées story AFTER a thousand memes and tweets. we are so back.” Another added: “I just know her wedding dress is going to be so gothic and cool. I can’t wait.” Someone else commented: “So happy for them! They both deserve all the happiness!”

A fan shared: “I said to my mom I have a feeling he will marry gabbriette I feel like she’s the one he’s gonna stay with and damn was I right.” Earlier this year, Matty was snapped introducing Gabbriette to his family, including Denise. The couple supported the Loose Women star at her theatre stint in Manchester. Gabbriette spent time with Matty’s family at the show, including his younger brother Louis Healy, 22, their father Tim Healy, 72, and his wife Joan Anderton, 62.

Denise shared a snap of them all together and wrote in the caption of the post: “Lovely to have the family in to see mum at work!!!” In a candid chat with the Daily Mail, Matty’s aunt and Denise’s sister Debbie revealed the star is “very happy” in his new relationship with Gabbriette and indicated their family “know a bit more about what went on” with Swift “than has been in the press”. Taylor and Matty, who initially crossed paths and sparked a flirtation in 2014, had a fleeting romance last year when he flew out to join her on the Nashville stop of her Era’s tour.

Stacey Solomon has been praised by fans and her husband Joe Swash after she revealed she’d been working on a huge project with her eco-conscious haircare brand REHAB

Stacey Solomon has been earning plaudits from her devoted followers for her latest entrepreneurial venture, as she gets hands-on with a new project. The Loose Women favourite was buzzing last year when she announced her investment in an eco-friendly, female-led business named REHAB.

Based in the heart of London, REHAB was founded by entrepreneurs Vicky Ellis and Anastasia Tozer. Their product range includes innovative items like hair oils, heatless curlers, and shampoo sheets. Stacey’s decision to back the company marked her first foray into business investment, which she hailed as a “huge moment in my life”.

The TV star was drawn to invest in REHAB after falling head over heels for one of their haircare products, saying she “loved everything about” it. She expressed her disbelief, stating: “It doesn’t feel real. Growing up, investing in a small business is never something in my life I thought I’d have the chance to be able to do! I feel like I’m writing this about someone else.”

Now, Stacey has excitedly shared that REHAB is gearing up for its inaugural pop-up event, and she’s been busy crafting bespoke props for the occasion. Over on Instagram, the mother-of-five posted a behind-the-scenes look at her creating life-size replicas of REHAB’s signature hair oil capsules, shampoo and conditioner sheets, and hair perfume.

Later, she was spotted arranging these giant props alongside their actual-sized counterparts at the event space.

” I am SO F**king Proud,” Stacey Solomon announced on her social media, alongside a video set to Natasha Bedingfield’s hit ‘Unwritten’, showcasing her DIY rehab props. “Not only for making these GIANT DIY rehab props that I’ve been working on for AGES, but for the fact that we have a real life POP UP in LONDON [crying emoji]. US @rehabyourhair – my brand! ! ! “.

The TV presenter continued: “I can’t even describe how emotional this is for me and Vicky and Lou Lou, who created rehab 2 years ago. Never in a million years did we imagine we could do this and we have put absolutely EVERYTHING into it. I can’t believe it’s real and it’s actually happening. TOMORROW [crying emoji]. To think tomorrow at 3:30pm there will be actual people visiting our very own pop up is just the most SUREAL feeling EVER!” [sic]

“If you’re near London tomorrow please come and see, us I’d love to say hi. We want this to be a chance to say THANK YOU for your incredible support, to show you new things coming, to giveaway rehab goodies, and to have the chance to try Rehab and shop it too. Thank you for everything guys honestly without you loving our hair products and being SO supportive there absolutely no way we could have ever achieved this. To the moon and back.”

Stacey’s husband Joe Swash was quick to show his support, commenting: “Proud of u bub,” And her fans and followers were also fast in sharing their praise. @lovely.button.ups said: “Incredible Stacey! You must all feel so proud of what you have achieved together.” One fan, @prettyinpinksquares, exclaimed: “Stacey this is EPIC! ! ! Defo got the Stacey touch with all of this! Well done ladies.” While @carolej69 praised: “Absolutely amazing as ever @staceysolomon these are epic.”

Equally impressed was @crazycleaningcrawford who gushed: “Seriously @staceysolomon is there nothing you can’t do! ! This is epic!” In a similar vein, @georgiebellesboutique posted: “This is amazing @staceysolomon @rehabyourhair well done girls, I’m sure you will absolutely smash it.” An admirer, @sade_home_life_, shared: “Wow Stacey. You’re just so clever at everything you put your mind to.” And @faffyfox90 simply added: “OMG these are amazing! You’re so talented.”

Gabbriette Bechtel, who is set to marry The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, has seemingly responded to those who have compared her fiancé to a rat with a nod to the ‘hot rodent boyfriend’ trend

Matty Healy’s future wife has poked fun at the current trend of ‘hot rodent boyfriends’ and those who are adamant who fiancé looks like a rat.

Gabbriette, who recently announced her engagement to The 1975 frontman, took to social media on Wednesday night to share a series of celebrity men who have been described as ‘Ratatouille coded’ – with her boyfriend Matty the lead example.

During his brief fling with Taylor Swift last year, Matty, eldest son of Loose Women star Denise Welch, was cruelly dubbed ‘Ratty Healy’ by many angry Swifties who felt their idol should have been dating someone more suitable to their tastes.

But it appears the future Mrs Healy, who has an adorable pet rat, is all for the rodent lifestyle. Posting on her Instagram Stories, Gabbriette shared several slides from Glamour Germany’s recent post centred about famous ‘hot rodent boyfriends’.

In the publication’s post, Matty is used for the cover image, alongside Timothée Chalamet and Challengers actor Josh O’Connor, with snaps of Irish actor Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter at the Met Gala, Zendaya and her boyfriend Tom Holland and Gabbriette and her pet rat making up the rest of the snaps.

“If you take a closer look at the comments on social media, one thing quickly becomes clear: Gen Z is not primarily about THE one look, but about a male image, which is far from toxic masculinity,” Glamour Germany’s caption reads. “Because attractiveness can be so much more than the ‘traditional’ male ideal of beauty. Yes, the comparison with rodents seems bizarre, but we can only agree with the actual message! We’ll tell you (not seriously) how you recognize a ‘Hot Rodent Man’ now and which stars according to the internet have what it takes to be a rodent crush in the link in bio.”

“Gabbriette posting this is hilarious,” one Instagram user quipped in the comments, with another quipping: “Gabriette just cracked me up for posting this.” Another poked fun of the fact Gabbriette’s couple pic featured her pet rat rather than Matty. “Do Matty and Gabbriette have no pictures together?lmaooo,” they wrote, with another joking: “Ugh Matty looks so hot on the last pic.”

Denise Welch excitedly confirmed her son engagement during Wednesday’s instalment of Loose Women, gushing that Gabbriette has “everything she wants in a daughter-in-law.” The former Coronation Street actress spilled the beans on the engagement after Matty posted an Instagram photo of his girlfriend sporting a huge black diamond rock on her ring finger.

I woke up this morning to the fact they’ve put it on Instagram. Instagram official, he has got engaged to Gabbriette. Black diamond, he had it made for her and I couldn’t be more thrilled. She is from Los Angeles, she is absolutely gorgeous, she does have a rat. We couldn’t be happier, she is everything that I would want in a daughter in law.”

Model and musician Gabbriette, 26, flaunted her massive diamond ring on social media while attending a Charli XCX concert. She captioned the image: “Marrying the 1975 is very brat @trumanblack” – a reference to her friend Charli’s latest album. Charli is engaged to Matty’s 1975 bandmate George.

Matty, son of Denise and Tim Healy, began dating Gabbreitte last September. This relationship follows Matty’s notable fling with pop icon Taylor Swift. Taylor has since moved on to a high-profile romance with Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, but took aim at Matty in her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, earlier this year.

Earlier this year, Matty was spotted introducing his fiancee, Gabbriette to his family. The duo also showed support for the Loose Women panelist Denise during her theatre production in Manchester. His soon-to-be-wife mingled with his family including his younger brother Louis Healy, 22, father Tim Healy, 72, and step-mother Joan Anderton, 62.

Denise shared the cosy family photo on Instagram writing: “Lovely to have the family in to see mum at work! ! ! ” Meanwhile in an interview with the Daily Mail, the star’s aunt, Debbie divulged more about Matty’s relationship with Gabriette; she highlighted that he seemed “very happy” and that the family “knew a bit more about what went on” between him and ex-lover Taylor Swift “than has been in the press”.

Ruth Langsford is yet to address her split from Eamonn Holmes in her own words but she still keeps her wedding ring close to hand and flashed it once again this afternoon

Ruth Langsford had her wedding ring firmly back on after she posed for a cheerful selfie weeks after her split from Eamonn Holmes.

The Loose Women star hasn’t been seen with it on since the days after she told the world she is splitting from her husband. The telly favourites, both 64, stunned fans last last month as they announced their divorce after 14 years of marriage, sending shockwave through showbiz.

Showing off her latest outfit on Instagram today, she flashed the band in a social media post earlier this afternoon. Letting her following get a look at her utility jacket, cargo trousers and wedge trainers she looked happy as she donned the blue look, with all the items from her own fashion range.

It’s now been alleged that Ruth found messages between her husband and another woman on a laptop. A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Ruth was completely taken by surprise when she saw the messages. She had no idea what had been going on between them. She was devastated. Not only was she very upset but she was also angry.”

The real reason for Ruth and Eamonn’s split was revealed by the Mirror. Friends close to the Loose Women presenter – who is taking time away from the ITV show to deal with the breakdown of her marriage – revealed that there is no going back for the couple. Ruth is taking the rest of the month off work while Eamonn has already resumed GB News presenting duties. She has been left “hurt” after finding out her husband is being consoled by another woman with whom he’s been on a string of outings.

The woman, who is in her forties, struck up a friendship with Eamonn over the past couple of years and he is said to have taken her to a safari park, a Manchester United game and a Beyonce gig. A friend of Ruth said: “Ruth was hurt when she learned about Eamonn’s friendship with another woman but she is strong and she will be back soon with a smile on her face, putting her best foot forward, as she always does. She needs a bit of time to regroup after everything that’s gone on, which is understandable, but she plans to return to Loose Women, with renewed vigour, in July.”

A spokesperson for Ruth has said: “Ruth had holiday time booked from Loose Women and has extended her leave. She’s looking forward to returning to the show in due course.” Eamonn was “terrified” of his wife during their relationship, according to mutual pal Liz Taylor.

During a chat with Liz on her podcast ‘Events That Made Me’ back in 2020, she revealed how she and Eamonn first met in the television industry, which was a “rocky start” for them both. Ruth said: “We have a healthy respect with what we do. I do smile sometimes because I think there were people, a lot in regional TV, who thought I got onto TV when I started seeing Eamonn, and that’s why I’m here.”

Liz replied amusingly: “What makes me laugh is he’s bloody terrified of you…,” sending Ruth into fits of laughter. In 2019, the couple shared what they believe are the secrets of their then-thriving marriage on the podcast ‘How To Stay Married’, reports the Express. Eamonn opened up about the key to a successful relationship, stating: “The secret is compromise, the secret is consideration and lots of conjugals.”

Some of ITV’s biggest daytime stars – working across Good Morning Britain, Loose Women and This Morning – were said to be worried that their jobs could be on the line as the network continues to suffer a dramatic decrease in viewing figures

ITV’s biggest names were reported to be concerned about the future of their jobs.

It comes as the network’s slump in viewing figures continues to drop on shows such as Good Morning Britain, Loose Women and This Morning. Sources claim that several of the big names in the network are due to have their contracts reviewed in the upcoming months.

Meanwhile, Good Morning Britain is believed to be undergoing a huge revamp in a bid to draw in more viewers. It’s claimed that the panel of Loose Women could also be at risk as ITV seeks to save cash as well as backroom job positions.

Sources claim that editors at ITV are frequently sending staff “heat map” bulletins, showing where they have lost viewers at home. They went on to add that the contracts for on-screen staff are often reviewed in August or September with several members of the on-screen talent being warned of cuts.

“A few of the Loose Women panel are worried too, as so many new faces have been brought in and some have worked better than others,” a source told The Sun. The source went on to state that the likes of This Morning’s Dermot O’Leary and Good Morning Britain’s Adil Ray are on year-long contracts so “theoretically most likely to be in the firing line.”

They added: “Dermot polls really well with viewers and absolutely no one wants him to go anywhere, so he’ll be safe. A few of the Loose Women panel are worried too, as so many new faces have been brought in and some have worked better than others.” The source went on to describe Good Morning Britain, ITV’s flagship news programme as “pretty frenetic”.

However, a spokesperson for ITV told the Mirror: “This isn’t true. ITV’s Daytime shows have never had a better connection with viewers reaching 7.5 million weekly. They are amongst the most popular on ITVX and reach millions more across digital platforms. Furthermore, we are very proud of our teams, both on and off screen, who produce seven and half hours of brilliant live content every weekday.”

ITV recently announced that 200 jobs are to be cut in a bid to save £50million per year. Those working on the likes of This Morning and Good Morning Britain have also had their salaries frozen according to the outlet. It’s believed that Cat Deeley and Dermot O’Leary have a salary of a whopping £550,000 after taking over from Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

Meanwhile, Susanna Reid is said to be on an eye-watering £1.1 million per year contract. The drop in ratings is said to have triggered bosses to call Town Hall meetings with staff across the programmes. A spokesperson for ITV said: “Town hall meetings happen frequently for teams to keep up to date with company news and also serve as an opportunity for staff to have questions answered.

“The latest one was to celebrate the success of Lorraine Kelly receiving a BAFTA Special Recognition Award and the two BAFTA nominations for Daytime last weekend. It was also a transparent portrayal of what is currently happening across the industry.”

Ruth Langsford previously said that she would never have “bothered” to defend herself against “stupid people” who were circulating rumours online about her divorce from Eamonn Holmes

Ruth Langsford’s fierce rebuttal of divorce rumours with Eamonn Holmes have resurfaced after the TV power couple split.

The pair recently revealed they had separated after a 14-year marriage and are currently undergoing divorce proceedings.

But it appears rumours of a split were long inthe making, after Ruth’s comments on the Be Honest with Jojo and Bruce podcast from 2022 emerged.

Ruth said at the time: “I think these days, particularly when you do live shows, they have teams of people at newspapers and magazines and things; their job is to sit online, watching live shows, and whatever we say is, you know, reported, but it’s always with that kind of headline, you know, ‘Ruth discusses divorcing Eamonn’.

“And I’ll say… it’ll have been something funny I’ve said like, ‘oh, if he ever wears Crocs again, I’ll divorce him’, but they make it something. So I kind of stop looking at it now because I think people start commenting on a story that they haven’t even seen.”

Ruth admitted she often questioned herself: “Why am I trying to even defend myself against these stupid people? So I don’t bother.”

Recent reports suggested that the former TV power couple might have been living separately for up to two years before they publicly announced their split. However, neither Ruth nor Eamonn have confirmed this.

A joint statement from their reps read: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over, and they are in the process of divorcing.”

The former couple own a luxury £3.2million mansion in Weybridge, Surrey. But Eamonn, who is also father to three other children from his previous marriage to Gabrielle Holmes, is believed to have moved out.

Nonetheless, insiders have suggested that the duo are “determined to stay friends and keep things amicable” for the sake of their 22- year-old-son, Jack.

Loose Women’s Ruth had opened up about her heartbreaking moment when Jack left home for university, describing it as if her heart “had been ripped out.”

During a conversation with Hello! magazine last December, Ruth reminisced: “I would say that first week of not having him at home literally felt like part of my heart had been ripped out. I kept his bedroom door shut. I remember coming home and going into his bedroom and crying.”

Reflecting on their history during an appearance on the Events That Made Me podcast back in 2020, the 64-year-old presenter recounted how she and Eamonn initially crossed paths in the TV business, although they had “a rocky start”.

Expressing her thoughts on certain misperceptions, Ruth posited: “We have a healthy respect with what we do. I do smile sometimes because I think there were people, a lot in regional TV, who thought I got onto TV when I started seeing Eamonn, and that’s why I’m here.”

Rumours about the split started circulating earlier this year after fans noticed that the couple hadn’t been seen together for several weeks. This followed reports that they had separate rooms in their family home for when they wanted some alone time.

Piers Morgan attacks Meghan Markle’s ‘downright lies’ in new interview

Prince Harry’s old Eton and Army pals ‘won’t visit him’ for one reason

The reason Prince Harry’s Eton pals and Army friends ‘won’t visit him’ has been unveiled by an expert, with Meghan Markle seemingly the reason behind it

The reason Prince Harry’s Eton pals and Army friends ‘won’t visit him’ has been unveiled

Prince Harry’s old Eton and Army friends “won’t visit him,” and it’s because of one key reason, it has been claimed.

According to an expert, Prince Harry’s pals don’t visit the Duke of Sussex because some of them have disagreements with his wife, Meghan Markle. The Sussexes stepped back from their roles as senior working royals in 2020. They then moved from their home in Windsor to a lavish mansion in the Californian neighbourhood of Montecito.

Up until last June however, the Sussexes still had their old home of Frogmore Cottage as one of their places of residence, but it was a year ago that the pair were evicted and ordered to return the keys following the publication of Harry’s bombshell memoir, Spare. And now, Harry is said to be looking for a new pad in his home country.

Royal commentator, expert and author, Tom Quinn, recently spoke to The Mirror in an exclusive chat where he said: “He [Harry] misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom have not visited as they don’t get on with Meghan.

“As time goes by, Harry misses some aspects of his old life in the UK. Inevitably, the honeymoon period where everything in the States is new and exciting is coming to an end and Harry is looking back at the past through rose-tinted spectacles.”

This comes after Meghan’s major concern was unveiled. Since moving across the pond, the couple has rarely returned to the United Kingdom, and Meghan was last seen at the late Queen’s funeral in 2022. And now it has been claimed that Meghan is only prepared to come back to the UK if she and Harry have a place of their own to stay, and if they have the appropriate security.

Mr Quinn told us: “Meghan has said she’s only prepared to return to England if she and Harry have a place of their own and the security they both feel is essential. Meghan will never return to the UK and stay with her husband‘s relatives.

“If the couple manage to find a permanent home and sort out the security issue they will certainly want to bring their children to the UK but it’s going to take a lot of diplomacy to get to the point where Archie and Lili are able to develop a genuine and warm relationship with their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to skip the Trooping the Colour celebration this week in honour of King Charles’ official birthday in June.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have an “open invitation” to key royal events alongside other members of the Firm – but one reason is stopping them from taking up the offer.

Trooping the Colour, a centuries-old royal tradition, is set to take place on Saturday at Buckingham Palace.

The King’s son, Prince Harry, and daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, however, are not expected to be there.

This is despite having an “open invitation” to key royal events, an expert has claimed.

Speaking on Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential podcast, royal reporter Charlotte Griffiths said: “It’s really sad but it’s hard to imagine Harry on a balcony now.

“Meghan’s first Trooping the Colour with Harry today on and there’s a video and he was he really came to life on the balcony and he was showing her how it’s done and where to look and she actually had a very awkward exchange with the Princess of Wales.”

She said Harry looked like he “took a lot of pride” in showing Meghan her first and last appearance on the balcony at Buckingham Palace.

Griffiths said she can’t see either the Duke or Duchess of Sussex returning to London to take part in this years, or future Trooping the Colour celebrations with the rest of the Firm.

But despite this, royal editor Richard Eden said there is an “open invitation” for the couple to “attend any big royal events”.

However, it is unlikely they will make an appearance at any of these events as “they realise they’re not wanted,” Eden said.

He said: “They need to face facts that they’re just not wanted there and I don’t think any other members of the Royal Family want to see them.
