Amanda Holden issued a light-hearted warning to her radio co-host after he made an unintentionally cheeky comment about the Loose Women presenters.
During her showbiz segment on Heart Radio yesterday (September 30), Ashley Roberts shared that ITV’s Loose Women celebrated its 25th anniversary recently.
However, co-host Jason King (JK) might have been too hasty with his remarks, admitting it “didn’t sound right”, reports the Mirror.
JK joked: “Hang on a second. They don’t look it. No, in a good way. I realised that that sounds hard. It didn’t sound right.”
Laughter erupted in the studio following his comment, prompting Amanda to caution: “You don’t wanna get on the wrong end of them, J.”
The rest of the team concurred, chiming in with “you do not”. To mark its quarter-century milestone, Loose Women released a photo featuring 18 of its legendary panellists, including original members Jane Moore, Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha and Ruth Langsford.
Yet, fans quickly noticed the absence of Stacey Solomon from the celebratory image. One fan questioned: “Where’s Stacey gone?!” while another lamented: “This would have been better with Stacey,” accompanied by a crying emoji.
The anniversary photo included Judi Love, Katie Piper, Christine Lampard, Kelle Bryan, Frankie Bridge, Dame Kelly Holmes, Charlene White, Sunetra Sarker, Olivia Attwood-Dack, Denise Welch, Linda Robson, Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards.
Kaye Adams graced James Martin’s Saturday Morning back in August where she delved into the early days of Loose Women, reminiscing about its debut in 1999. She remarked that even though it began as a trial run for only a month, she sensed they “might be onto something”.
Over its quarter of a century journey, Loose Women has secured its spot in UK homes, loved for its candid discussions by beloved panellists on a variety of issues, including some that are “not openly discussed” on television.
Sally Shelford, editor of the show, shared insights: “Over the last 25 years, Loose Women has tackled taboos and talked about issues not openly discussed on television, including domestic abuse, menopause, miscarriage and grief.”
“Our incredible audience – in the studio and at home – have always been the fifth Loose Woman, and we promise to keep talking, sharing and shining a light on important subjects like these for our amazing viewers.”
