Loose Women has been hit with hundreds of complaints after the show's stars got into an on-air debate about refugees.
On last Tuesday's show (March 1) the panel of four - Charlene White, Janet Street Porter, Katie Piper, and Coleen Nolan - discussed the Ukraine crisis which was then in its sixth day.
The ITV lunchtime programme was asking how Russia's invasion of Ukraine was 'affecting you' and Charlene spoke about reports of Black students being left stranded at the Polish border after suffering racism.

"My heart really does go out to the Ukrainian people and those in the bordering countries doing all they can to try and help them, but [they] will not help anybody whose skin is darker," she said.
"I think that’s a very clear reflection of what it is the world is dealing with – and this isn’t just in Ukraine, this happens in wars the world over, especially when it comes to migrant workers.
"The difference I think this time, is that it’s a younger demographic who are used to posting on TikTok, on Twitter, on Facebook and they’re telling their story."
After Charlene gave her thoughts, Janet commented that Poland has "exceeded all expectations," saying: "I hear what you’re saying, and I completely understand it.
"On the news last night, they did show how some of the students talking about how badly they had been treated and the effort it had taken for them to cross the border. But I also think that Poland has exceeded all expectations in accepting 150,000 refugees."
The pair then entered into a back and forth over the issue, meanwhile a number of viewers took issue with the conversation, expressing their views on social media at the time.
