To think loose women sucks!

I'm rarely at home during the day so don't often see Loose Women. I'm surprised it's still on air tbh. I've always found the panelist's quite self important, opinionated and rude. Some more than others.

But they appear to have excelled themselves and introduced a new 'feature' where the loose women themselves give us their whole life story. Currently listening to Denise Welch talking about her childhood and life and wondering who on earth cares?!

Is it just me? Or is this utter tosh.

And yes I will turn over very shortly.

ITV devote a huge reaching day time programme to women for an hour and the best they can do is this utter shit. It's an insult to women 😡

I also like Christine Lampard and Stacey Solomon. I love it when Christine stands in for Lorraine Kelly, as I can't stand Lorraine. (I cannot explain why either!)

LOVED Jane McDonald and still do. Love her 'Cruising with Jane McDonald' show; she is so funny and endearing. Smile

Also liked Linda Bellingham.

As I said, I did used to like the show, but it's gone downhill in the past 3-4 years. Needs putting out to pasture.

Carol is Piers Morgans female counterpart littlemissdynamite

Ha ha so true! Grin

It's a joke of a programme especially now they keep inviting Katie Price back and don't even mention her car crash of a life. It's crap and I switch it off.

hoarderadvice · 20/08/2019 17:55

Adverts are being banned because they perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes. It's a shame Loose Women can't be banned for similar.

Does anyone remember when it started and was actually good and intelligent and quite serious? When it had the Scottish woman on, Kay something I think?

MrsDeltaB · 20/08/2019 17:58

The only thing I like Welch for is her son-lead singer of The 1975. When she talked about HIS addiction issues, it did amazingly come round to HER!

Caaarrrl · 20/08/2019 18:00

Kay Adams. Think she was a proper journalist rather than a washed up actress or singer. When it started it was actually not too bad. Sensible discussions. Will never watch it now. Full of over paid privileged no bodies that only talk about themselves from what I can see.

HelenaDove · 20/08/2019 18:10

Lampard? Nope She presided over a benefit bashing segment I posted about it at the time.

catspyjamas27 · 20/08/2019 18:14

Kay is back on it now. She seems less credible now somehow but maybe that's because the show hasn't aged well. Jane Moore is also a journalist but i can't warm to her.

actually i posted about it a while after on the Kim Woodburn thread.

Because someone mentioned benefits i remembered something. A while back Christine Lampard started comments about disability benefits and i think it was Kaye Adams who shut the comments down I reckon being a journalist shes seen the damage caused by the "scrounger" rhetoric.

Hithere12 · 20/08/2019 18:14

Denise Welch always steers the topic to her favourite subject,her!

😂

Lampard? Nope She presided over a benefit bashing segment I posted about it at the time

Oh great a woman who is a multi multi millionaire thanks only to her husband slagging off poor people on benefits. What a shock.

mindproject · 20/08/2019 18:19

It really sucks and everyone on it is annoying. I still love to watch though.

Sceptre86 · 20/08/2019 18:25

My mum has watched it for years, I caught the odd episode when Kay Adam's was the main lead.it seemed more of serious programme then a bit like the Wright programme that used to be on channel 5. Now it is just a lot more trashy. The behaviour of some of the panel when Amy from love island was on was really poor towards her.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 20/08/2019 18:39

Sherie Hewson when she does her "Oh ......"What......... what ? " open mouthed looking round idiot act.

You're not Maureen on Corrie now Hmm

OMGshefoundmeout · 20/08/2019 18:59

I don’t normally like it or watch it but I caught the long interview with Nadia Sawalha yesterday and found it fascinating. It was refreshing to hear someone tell their story without plugging their latest book or film. I enjoyed it so much I made a point of watching today. Denise Welch wasn’t as interesting as Nadia but it was still a nice change to hear someone talk at length about their life and experience. I hope they do more long interviews like that.

derxa · 20/08/2019 21:58

Andrea Mclane is ok. She really isn't Grin

goldenlabs · 21/08/2019 14:14

Sherrie Hewson pretends to be all diitzy when she wants to get the laughs, but she can change to serious when she wants to get her point across.

goldenlabs · 21/08/2019 14:16

I find Andrea McClean one of the most annoying.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 21/08/2019 14:28

Urgh! I detest that programme. I clean for two ladies who have itv on while I’m there. I catch the and of this morning and the start of loose women. Biggest load of drivel right there in those two programmes. It’s like ITV decided to compress all their arsehole presenters into adjoining slots without Eamon Holmes kicking it off and Colleen Noleen finishing it.

TeachersPetMonkey · 21/08/2019 14:41

I can't stand it and point blank refuse to watch anything that has anything to do with Colon Nolan. Horrid, nasty, bully.

InfiniteSheldon · 21/08/2019 17:31

I love it i watch it on catchup its so awful its good a bunch of pretty unpleasant self indulgent women pretending to discuss issues whilst riding every woke bandwagon going I know i should d hate it but i dont i love it Blush

PumpkinP · 22/08/2019 12:40

Eugh! Just got it on now as can’t be bothered to change the channel didn’t realise how awful it was, now they are just complaining about children on flights they’ve literally just been bitching about it

Billballbaggins · 22/08/2019 12:43

The show is horrendous. After the whole Kim Woodburn fiasco it should have been pulled off air. They were absolutely vile (especially Colleen Nolan) to a vulnerable and essentially harmless woman. I can’t watch it.

ILoveCrunchyAutumnLeaves · 22/08/2019 12:50

I refuse to watch it after the Kim Woodburn incident. I think it did have a place and was relevant but has passed it's sell by date now.

Aderyn19 · 22/08/2019 13:00

Part of the problem is the timing. They are hashing over the same topics already discussed (more intelligently) on the preceding talk shows.
