Loose Women is a British talk show that broadcasts on ITV weekdays from 12:30pm to 1:30pm. The show was originally broadcast from Norwich, then Manchester, before moving to London, and focuses on a panel of four female presenters who interview celebrities, talk about aspects of their lives, and discuss topical issues ranging from politics and current affairs to celebrity gossip and entertainment news.

History[edit]

The panel comprises four women from various professions in the entertainment and journalism industries, who interview celebrities, discuss their lives and discuss topical issues, ranging from daily politics and current affairs, to celebrity gossip.

On 22 June 2016, Sir Cliff Richard sat down for a one-on-one interview with close friend Gloria Hunniford for a special edition of Loose Women subtitled Sir Cliff: Out of the Shadows.[3]

The 3,000th episode of Loose Women was broadcast on 15 May 2018.[4]

Loose Women celebrated it's 20th anniversary on 6 September 2019, with all the current women at the time (with the exception of a few) coming together for the first time.[5]

On 22 March 2020, it was announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, production on Loose Women was suspended until further notice.[6] Reruns of old episodes were aired in the programme's time slot.[6] On 28 April 2020, it was announced that Loose Women would recommence production on two live episodes per week from 4 May 2020.[7]

On 22 October 2020, Loose Women featured an all black panel for the first time in the show's history, featuring Charlene White, Brenda Edwards, Judi Love and Kéllé Bryan.[8] This panel has been seen several time since then.[9]

On 19 November 2020, there was an all male panel for the first time in the show's history, to celebrate International Men's Day, altering the show's name to Loose Men for the day. Panellists featured were Marvin Humes, Iain Stirling, Ronan Keating and Roman Kemp.[10]

Presenters[edit]

Kaye Adams and Nadia Sawalha were the original presenters on the show. Sawalha left in 2002, after the birth of her first child; Adams kept the role for the first ten series until the end of 2006, when she left to go on maternity leave.[11] Adams, Sawalha, Jane Moore and Karren Brady were panellists for the first episode and Ruth Langsford appeared in the second episode.
