Loose Women in presenter shake-up as Strictly and I’m a Celeb stars join panel
THE Loose Women panel underwent a makeover to welcome two new presenters.
During Friday’s episode of Loose Women Kaye Adams and Nadia Sawalha were joined by two famous males instead of their usual female counterparts.
Strictly Come Dancing professional Johannes Radebe and I’m a Celebrity star Sam Thompson were on hand to discuss the hottest topics with Nadia, 59, and Kaye, 61.
Fans loved the fresh faces on the panel, with one writing on social media: “@jojo_radebe you were brilliant on #LooseWomen as was Sam, but you have to get @SamThompsonUK on @bbcstrictly.”
Another said: “I loved Johannes and Sam on the panel today. Great show.”
And a third added: “Loose Women & Men with Sam Thompson!!! love this guy.”
Meanwhile former Loose Women star Carol McGiffin recently spoke out following rumours Janet Street Porter was set to “quit the panel”.
Carol, 63 – who didn’t hold back in slamming Loose Women after her own exit – is adamant her talented former co-star, Janet Street Porter, 77, will be “following me out the door.”
It came after we reported how Loose Women stalwart Janet was embroiled in a furious row with bosses “over contracts.”
The documents would change her status from freelance to employee for ITV’s new PAYE-only contracts policy, which comes in response to HMRC’s off-payroll working rules.
Carol, who faced the same situation last year, said the debacle made her “sad.”
Writing in her Best column, she penned: “It’s apparently the same issue that I had with them last year.
“I’m pretty sure – if their issues are the same as mine – ITV won’t back back down.”
She added this would mean “intelligent” panelist Janet “will follow me out the door.”
