ITV Loose Women gets off to awkward start as host asks co-star 'are we fighting?'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The atmosphere on Loose Women became a tad uncomfortable just moments into Friday's programme when Kaye Adams questioned the apparent disharmony among her fellow panellists.As the show commenced, 61-year-old Kaye queried: "What, are we fighting already girls? " This led Frankie Bridge to accuse Linda Robson, pointing out: "She's doing things behind my back!" sparking an "ooh" from the studio audience.Linda, aged 66, was quick to deflect, suggesting a show producer was the instigator, retorting, "Mattie told me to pull faces behind her back, thanks Mattie! " Kaye smoothly transitioned to welcoming viewers, announcing: "Welcome to Loose Women everyone!

It's Friday!"The episode progressed with guests including comedian Leigh Francis, better known as Keith Lemon, who discussed his new autobiography, while harmony seemed to be restored among the panel.

This incident follows Denise Welch's sharp remarks about her co-stars after a heated exchange with Stacey Solomon during a debate on the show in June.

Despite downplaying feud rumours, Denise alluded to underlying strains during an appearance on Olivia Attwood's podcast 'So Wrong It's Right', stating, "I'm always happy to have new blood on (Loose Women) because we do get bored of each other," reports the Mirror.
