Loose Women AXED?
WOMAN'S OWN|January 27, 2025
With viewers growing tired of the panellists and topics, the show's future seems uncertain
Loose Women AXED?

It's been on our screens for 25 years, celebrating the milestone anniversary last September, but could Loose Women be on its last legs? Despite being a much-loved hit on ITV over the years, it seems the show could have had its day, with viewers claiming it's 'not working' and admitting they 'can't watch' any more.

ITV bosses have introduced newer, younger panellists in recent years - such as Frankie Bridge and GK Barry - a move that has been hit-and-miss with fans. 'Every time I watch Loose Women there's a new one on the panel,' one fan commented. But with the likes of longer-standing, previously popular panellists now being slated by viewers, is there any coming back for Loose Women?

Unpopular panellists

It's hardly surprising that new panellists take a while to win over viewers, but even the more experienced characters have been failing to impress recently. One viewer commented, 'What a boring line-up, Ruth is a mess.' While another added, 'Why have the likes of Coleen or Linda on as they don't actually care about anything and just talk about nothing.' A third said of Nadia Sawalha, 'Does Nadia ever shut up talking about herself?' Another added that Linda Robson seems 'out of place'.
