Loose Women

I wonder if this could be a test for a permanent return?

It's interesting to see that relations between Denise and ITV Seem to have thawed.

That's had a lot of criticism and I'm amazed ITV News agreed to it.



I wonder if that can be said for the other panelists. She doesn't like Janet Street-Porter and previously wouldn't work on the same days as her, and she quit when they re-hired Coleen amid rumours they don't get on.

Denise fell out with new Director of Daytime at the time, Helen Warner, who,has now left ITV. Although the reason they fell out was because she brought Coleen back and Denise was unhappy with some of the things Coleen said about the panellists and show when she left.

Denise also admitted in her Piers Morgan Life Stories interview that she did not get on with Janet and always refused to work with her.

Very awkward if they decide to bring her back full-time in terms of working with Coleen and Janet.

Denise was close to Coleen before they had falling out and broke off all contact.

They fell out when Coleen publicly suggested years of cocaine use was responsible for Denise's depression.

So it's Nadia, Kaye, Stacey and Denise today then.

So Denise appears to have returned, but unlike Sherrie I believe she’s returning as a permanent addition to the panel rather than guest panellist.

Perhaps after 5 years of sobriety she and Coleen have been able to make up. That or itv are prepared to avoid them both being on air together.

Blimey! Hold the speculation, guys! Much of the above is pure conjecture and doesn't really belong here.

From an enthusiast and presentation perspective, whilst it was nice to see Denise back, it wasn't the "be all and end all" that some suggest. And I believe it was a one-off appearance only.

Having said that, I prefer her to some of the other recent one-day additions.

As for ITN dispatching a newsreader to anchor a "fake newsflash" about Densy's return: disgusted! Not what I'd expect from ITN, although the decision clearly wasn't theirs.

Whilst that statement may suggest I'm as contrary as Dot Cotton, I think you all k ow what I mean.

Tomorrow: a pre-recorded Loose Women and Men special featuring Andrea, Kaye, Ayda and Nadia, accompanied by Robbie Williams amongst others.

Recorded last week.

.......and what a rabble it turned out to be.......

If you mean about the fall outs, much of that has been confirmed in their magazine columns and interviews.

Yesterday’s show was pretty shocking to say the least! Kelly Brook shouting over everyone and Colleen acted like a silly little schoolgirl throughout the show. I could barely watch - Ruth struggled to keep control, in between being really silly herself. Poor Jane cringed for the entire episode, along with most of the viewers no doubt.
