We’ve often wondered what it would be like to be part of the Loose Women panel. And now, after being in the ladies’ presence during OK!’s exclusive shoot to celebrate International Women’s Day, we think we’ve got a pretty good idea. While it’s an often overused cliché, what you see on screen is exactly what you get off it – if a little more potty-mouthed and chaotic.
As Charlene White, Jane Moore, Nadia Sawalha and Katie Piper pose for the cameras, they laugh, joke and even break into an energetic rendition of It’s Raining Men. It’s also clear they’re good friends with the rest of their panel co-stars, as they gently rib Janet Street-Porter’s moody persona, Linda Robson’s unique singing voice and Denise Welch’s habit of saying inappropriate things just as they’re about to go live. And after we’ve wrapped, Nadia, 57, and Jane, 59, who launched the show back in 1999 alongside Kaye Adams, decide to head off for an impromptu drink and catch-up.

I learnt that pretty quickly and I’ve loved the ride ever since. I feel really blessed to be a part of their clan.” Here, the ladies open up about their growing friendships, plans to bring back the Loose Women parties and why, despite the rumours, they genuinely do get on behind the scenes. Hi, all.
