Loose Women's head honcho Charlene White sparked concern among viewers about her future on the popular chat show after receiving a live on-air warning for tardiness.

The panel, featuring Brenda Edwards, Coleen Nolan, and EastEnders icon Natalie Cassidy, were in the midst of a lively debate about punctuality when Natalie admitted to being an early riser.

Charlene opened the discussion with a quip: "First Natalie, apparently, was early for our morning meeting today. I say 'apparently' because I was late!

But you're always on time for everything, right?" Natalie's admission, "On time for me is early," elicited laughter from the audience and her co-stars, but Coleen Nolan didn't hold back, chiding: "If you're late for work, for me, that's really unprofessional." Despite Charlene's protests that her lateness was beyond her control, Coleen issued a stern caution: "Well I'm going to take a note.That's your first warning, live on-air." A visibly anxious Charlene responded with a nervous chuckle: "Three strikes and I'm out?" However, Charlene wasn't the only one feeling the heat; she later jokingly reprimanded Brenda for her incessant giggling during a segment about Brenda's "mystery man", threatening to ban her from the show if she didn't compose herself, though quickly adding, "I'm actually gonna ban Brenda from this programme if she doesn't stop giggling.
