New look Loose Women

Someone tweeted and asked where Janet was and was informed she would, "be back soon". Other work commitments most probably.

Vicky and Nadia (from Bake Off) are returning for more guest appearances.

No they are both now actual Panelists, unfortunately. I honestly prefer the 2014-15 line up. But I don't understand, why most of them swapped seats

Why's Nadia a pannelist?

I can't see what she'd contribute to their panel. She's not got much of a personality like the other recent addition Vicky Pattison and she's not a presenter either (Vicky has actually got past presenting experience - Judge Geordie).

Then again: the show's not aimed at me, it's aimed at the female demographic.

Nadia was originally on Loose from 99-02, so there's heritage there with the format.

I think Dalek was referring to Nadia from BakeOff

I'm sure whoever she is will add something to the show. Who'd thought beforehand that Katie Price would be so good with the format?

Yeah, I was. I don't get what people see in her; she seems a bit bland to me when she makes her TV appearances.


Katie Price is a very controversial figure though so was always going to add something to debates. Nadia on the other hand is just someone people warmed to on a cooking show. Then again: as I said, the show's not aimed at me so what do I know? Maybe Nadia will be popular with the female audience?

NADIYA offers another demographic. The panel is currently full of white women, most in their 40s, 50s or 60s and there is little variety in life experience. She offers a different perspective with family, especially when discussing her arranged marriage, and is far more eloquent than the likes of Katie Price. I find Pricey so fake, and thick and I want her off the panel ASAP! I feel for her because she has a disabled son, and at times she has a lot to add to conversations, but she's an absolute bore of a woman.

There's Saira, June and even Jamelia for god sake, now I need to be careful what to say, but all 3 of the new additions are dreadful, KP is the only one of the 3 I don't mind staying, they just don't fit in with the likes of, Kaye, Nadia, Jane, Coleen, Gloria, JSP, Penny, Judy (?), June, Saira and Hilary (?).


The ones with question marks mean they have Disappeared.

This isn't the forum for this discussion.

Interestingly, Katie Price was hounding Spencer Mathews (?) with a torrent of rapid-fire questioning about Vicky Pattison a couple of days back, and making some unguarded comments in the process.

If you look at the clip on Youtube, you can see her fellow panelists cringing with unease as Pricey "went off on one". Coleen Nolan looked uncomfortably towards Ruth Langsford, clearly reacting to the Pricey's behaviour and possibly to the gallery ranting in their ears.

I've noticed the panel reacting in this manner a few times, when it comes to Katie's line of questioning.

Notwithstanding, I do concede that she has slotted-in very well to the programme and is suited to the format.

It would appears that Anita Dobson and Judy Finnigan have gone. Jamelia is appearing very rarely (maximum once per week) and, as noted above, JSP now only does a maximum of 2 days per week.

I Think both JSP and Jamelia are busy with other projects
