To have complained about today’s episode of Loose Women

234 replies

My DH thinks IABU but I’m adamant this was inappropriate.

Loose Women had a ‘dummy’ of a man’s bottom on their show earlier and one of the presenters/guests inserted their finger where the sun doesn’t shine.

I was eating lunch at the time and found this extremely unbecoming for that time of the day.

I expect my complaint will fall on deaf ears, but it’s worth a go.

Ewwww

ALittleBitWooo · 15/05/2025 20:46

Why were they sticking their fingers in a bum, what was the topic?

nomas · 15/05/2025 20:46

YANBU. Sounds like digital rape.

BCBird · 15/05/2025 20:46

What was their point? Think we all know what a bottom looks like 🙄

Saw the best description of LW on here many moons ago….

”Wilful ignorance on tramadol”

Sums it up perfectly [shrug]

Gloriia · 15/05/2025 20:47

Why?! Even if it was for prostate awareness and explaining rectal examinations Loose women is surely not the platform for it.

What on earth is digital rape?

Aye but tramadol has uses (and is very effective).
LW…not so much.

hotblacktea · 15/05/2025 20:49

a bit gross, but maybe next time don't watch (shit) tv when eating ?

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 15/05/2025 20:49

Daytime itv needs livening up tbh, it's gotten a bit stale

You should complain to ofcom about that

I assume insertion of a digit? Although, I believe it’s technically sexual assault.

Gloriia · 15/05/2025 20:49

LW is an embarrassment for women imo. What could be an interesting show with some intelligent women is just reduced to a shrieking whooping joke. I like Janet SP and Christine Lampard, the rest omg just stfu!

BeesTrees · 15/05/2025 20:50

To be honest that show makes me want to vomit at the best of times. They are laws unto themselves, many an inappropriate conversation at lunch time when there might be children around, but that sounds particularly gross 🤮.

MrsSkylerWhite · 15/05/2025 20:50

YAB extremely U to watch Loose Women.

Oh, I completely mistook that. Is it possible to rape a piece of rubber or plastic? In any case, loose women is just trash at the best of times. Although I donr find this utterly offensive, it's pretty low brow.

I agree with all you’ve said. And erm, no, I don’t think it’s possible either.😬

emmetgirl · 15/05/2025 20:56

Well that’s what you get for watching Loose Women

Cuppachuchu · 15/05/2025 20:58

It was Loose Men today? I didn't see any bum dummies.

JoyousEagle · 15/05/2025 21:01

I think OP is being slightly disingenuous. I’ve just looked up loose women on YouTube to see if they have a clip from today’s episode, and it looks like it was all male presenters (is that what they do sometimes on LW?) and there was a dr demonstrating a prostate exam. So it wasn’t giggling women poking around for a joke, it was a medical segment talking about what the prostate is and how the exam works

@WithYou47 op?? are you rage baiting us?

tillyandmilly · 15/05/2025 21:04

How low can you go? Trash tv in my opinion

TerribleGardener · 15/05/2025 21:06

I didn't see it but YABU if the item was intended to encourage men to get a prostate exam, to remove the fear of it and normalize a procedure that saves lives by showing it on daytime tv. However if it was a demonstration of a sex act at midday then YANBU.

doodleschnoodle · 15/05/2025 21:08

It was Loose Men today and was about prostate and testicular cancer, and they were showing what happens in a prostate exam. They also did a live testicles check on air on Craig Doyle (obviously you didn’t see anything). Don’t really see the problem. I’m sure they will treat your complaint with the seriousness it deserves.

What on earth is digital rape?

Shoving a finger up someone's arse against their will

Although doesn't rape technically require a penis?

Doseofreality · 15/05/2025 21:08

It was a Doctor demonstrating what happens during a prostate examination to raise awareness and reduce embarrassment in men going for one.

FFS!!
