ITV’s Loose Women has sparked a bit of a stir as veteran panellist Janet Street-Porter celebrated her 1000th episode, leaving viewers with mixed feelings.

On Monday, July 8, host Christine Lampard led the tribute alongside Coleen Nolan and Linda Robinson, reminiscing over Janet’s unforgettable moments since she first graced the show in 2011. Janet’s tenure on the panel has been nothing short of iconic, filled with candid confessions about her four marriages, her beloved pooch Badger, and her penchant for quality time away from the limelight.

The trio delved into Janet’s most talked-about segments, including her frank discussions about her past relationships and her furry friend. However, it was the memory of Janet donning a hot dog costume that really seemed to leave an impression, albeit awkwardly, on the ladies.

Janet herself didn’t hold back, revealing her distaste for the outfit and her general aversion to dressing up in costumes.

Post-commercial break, the audience was treated to a surprise as all four presenters appeared in hot dog outfits, a playful homage to Janet’s past on-screen antics. In a heartfelt declaration of camaraderie, Christine exclaimed, “We’re doing this for you, Janet because we love you! ” much to the delight of everyone involved, reports the Mirror.

Yet the zaniness didn’t cease there. Later, they additionally enlisted an Elton John tribute act to serenade Janet towards the conclusion of the show.

However, amidst all the uproar, some spectators were left unimpressed and flocked to X (previously known as Twitter) to voice their thoughts. One viewer spoke up: “Hot dog panel. All time low. Cringe to the max.”

Another nonplussed spectator questioned: “What the fresh hell is this? ” While a third fan shared a gif labeled with the word “embarrassing”.

A further disenchanted observer chimed in: “The show has been dumbed down for over a decade with poor content and scripted unexciting women. Same old, same old. The show needs to move up and not treat lunchtime viewings as dumbed-down television.”

Yet in spite of the criticism, several fans revelled in the fun-filled content available. One watcher highlighted: “Elton John impersonator TERRIFIC! “.

While another offered: “Stop complaining about the people on loose women and what they say. Just deal with it.”
