LOOSE Women viewers were left gobsmacked today as the panel debated if five year olds should be having sex education.
Denise Welch, Jane Moore, Katie Piper and Kelle Bryan were discussing the Welsh Governments plans for compulsory relationship and sex education in schools, as well as a new theatre production – Family Sex Show.
The theatre show encouraged children to explore “sexual pleasure” and “try sexual practices”, but the tour was axed following thousands of complaints.
Those watching Loose Women at home were shocked by the conversation and took to Twitter to discuss it.
One person wrote: “#LooseWomen I watch this program regularly. Today’s topic on five years & sex education is sick shame on #Itv #LooseWomen This should never be a question what is the world coming too?!!?”
A second added: “That’s f**king disgusting no other words let kids be kids #loosewomen.”
While a third commented: “5 minutes in.. I think I’m switching off #LooseWomen.”
More than 40,000 signed a petition calling for The Family Sex Show to be cancelled, stating it was “profoundly irresponsible” and “wholly inappropriate”.
The company behind the production – called ThisEgg – said: “These public performances would have offered safe and positive learning to children, young people and guardians about rights, bodies, sex and relationships.”
