New look Loose Women

I don't!

Unless I wasn't paying attention, there wasn't a guest today - just Trisha as a guest panellist.

I really think not.

Sharon Osbourne joins the girls - 'Coming soon' promo aired just now on ITV

As a presenter or guest?

I would presume guest panelist

Guessing she won;t be on that often seeing as she is still doing The Talk in the USA...

The changes to loose women since January have improved the show greatly, the trashy stuff has all but gone, it's a much better show now than it was a year ago. Since bringing back kaye Adams, Nadia etc. I believe it's a more confident show, the set is much nicer and the presentation too, not that it'd bother a regular viewer. They have got the balance right for that kind of show, more interaction with the audience, and guest panel members help too. Although, Carol vorderman just doesn't fit in anymore. I thought she would have left by now...

So they have consciously got rid of most of the more vulgar, loud mouth panellists that 'lowered the tone' and now they're probably spending a fee that would cost Denise Welch, Carol McGiffin & Jane McDonald combined on Sharon Osbourne.

I doubt Sharon is any more than a guest panellist for a week or so, and won't cost much as a result. Plus she could draw a greater audience who will pick up on the changes to the programme and give it more chance in the future. I do however, dislike their regular use of guest panellists, as I think it was better when you got to know the women on the panel, although it makes no difference to the casual viewer.

Lesley Garrett made a brief return to the Loose Women panel today (for the third time). Still as annoying and as self-centred as she was four years ago.

Did you know her husband is a doctor? (heard that only once today, new record).
