Has anyone else just watched Loose Women/Kim Woodburn’s outburst?

getting three people on one side is out of order tough wter u like kw or not that wasnt fair

OneInAMillionYou · 29/08/2018 15:56

I don't think it can be that she NEEDS the money

KW was on one of those 'place in the sun' type programmes looking to buy a holiday home for ÂŁ350k or thereabouts.

Wanting the money is entirely possible, of course.

Brandnewshit · 29/08/2018 15:58

I didn't know she was the reason rufus hound quit celebrity juice, just found that out now!

DearMrDilkington · 29/08/2018 15:59

Get ready for the false passive aggressive apology they'll be forced to do on tomorrows show.

Anyone remember when the LW group got caught out live on TM slagging off how skinny Holly whatshername is? Right in the middle of their body confidence campaign... Horrible women.

MissEliza · 29/08/2018 16:00

Is LW trying to boost its ratings with this Jeremy Kyle shit? A few months ago they had a young celebrity (completely forget who) and she was in a bad way and clearly struggling as a mother. I found it very unpleasant to see someone who was obviously vulnerable put in that situation. I wish I could remember who was!

Roussette · 29/08/2018 16:00

Hi derxa. Smile I just tweeted Loose Women saying how appalled I was and it's awful that they are promoting this on their twitter feed endlessly like it was some sort of joke.

The tweets are not complimentary. Own goal I would say.

Bunintheoven88 · 29/08/2018 16:00

I agree that I don't think it was right for her to be on the show, however it's not as though she was dragged there kicking and screaming.

I do feel however that she definitely has deep rooted mental health issues, and that is very sad if it is so, however that is no excuse to be utterly abhorrent.

I also agree with the idea that she may be suffering from the start of possible dementia or Alzheimer's. I work with dementia patients on a daily basis and 98% of patients are lovely. Dementia doesn't automatically make you a horrible person so I think she just isn't very nice person regardless.

JenBarber · 29/08/2018 16:04

Meh.

They're all attention seeking divas.

Horrible lot.

Roussette · 29/08/2018 16:05

She may well not be a nice woman. But LW knew Exactly what the outcome would be, hence having JSP dressed up like a judge. From the minute it started it was 3 against 1 and inevitable it would end like this.

There are calls on Twitter for LW to be scrapped saying it's had its day. I agree. Worst of the worst TV today.

MrsJayy · 29/08/2018 16:05

I remember Kim saying somewhere that she will always work because she is terrified of being poor again that probably why she takes everything that is offered to her.

BlooperReel · 29/08/2018 16:07

I think KW is very clearly on emotoonally unstable ground and probably needs some help. Unkind for LW to engineer this 'showdown'.

pasttimes11 · 29/08/2018 16:08

rousette was it Danniella Westbrook? I remember that and they had Kerry Katona as a sort of "mentor" for her.

Susiesoap7 · 29/08/2018 16:08

Can't bear Colleen nolan ,Kim was just as obnoxious as her on bb!
I think they are both people with issues that need to get a life away from tv!
But then they couldn't do that as tv is their life!

hendricksy · 29/08/2018 16:09

I know she had a shit childhood but she comes across as a narcissistic loon. She never thinks she is wrong , thinks everyone bully's her and is down right scary.
I presume she has a lot of issues but why does she get away with being so vile just because she is damaged .
She should stay well away from tv and the media if she can't cope with it .

MrsJayy · 29/08/2018 16:09

Tbf maybe Kims management organised it she just seems to get wheeled out when CBB is on

frankie69 · 29/08/2018 16:10

This could quite possibly be the beginning of the end for Loose Women. It's been going downhill for a few years anyway.

The Nolan lasses were goady and smug, and KW came across as unhinged, and obviously needs help. That kind of behaviour is not normal.

As has been said; car crash tv, and horrible to watch.

Bunintheoven88 · 29/08/2018 16:10

I agree hendricksy, I thought she was going to lamp Linda Robson at one point!

MaluCachu · 29/08/2018 16:14

I think KW went on the show with the full intention of telling CN exactly what she thinks of her.Who can blame her tbh.There is nothing wrong with pulling folk up on bullying behaviour and quite frankly more folk should stand up for themselves in this way.Just so happens it was broadcast in a very public manner,maybe that was also intentional and her way of getting back at CN.She’s obviously a deeply troubled soul with major issues.I felt quite sorry for her.

Very unpleasant viewing, all in the name of entertainment.

GabsAlot · 29/08/2018 16:16

so she had no right to have a go at jamie o hara the adulterer! he was a pig and she called him on it

MrsJayy · 29/08/2018 16:19

Jamie Ohara deserves everything he got he is a sleazy fecker!

pasttimes11 · 29/08/2018 16:21

Even Linda Robson came off bad, the way she spoke to her at the beginning, so confident she had the backing of the other bullies. Its classic bullying. No wonder kids get bullied at school, if that's how adults conduct themselves. KW didn't come off well in BB but she wasn't a bully. Coleen Nolan bullies with a smile on her face.

HelenaDove · 29/08/2018 16:26

Shane Nolan called Kim a "fruit loop" on twitter This whole thing is just fucking nasty.

And this show has always had sinister undertones.

deepsea · 29/08/2018 16:35

Shane Nolan has said despicable things. He has just apologised but too little too late. Mental Health charities might be taking a wide berth from now on.

You simply can't publicly calling guests of his mother's show a fruit loop, not to mention a stream of colourful language. What a vulture.

How will the show ever discuss mental health again after this?

Car crash TV doesn't even cover it, using pensioners that have suffered significant child abuse to boost their ratings?? Beyond revolting.

MrsJayy · 29/08/2018 16:41

When did Shane change his name from Ritchie to Nolan
