The criticism section for this article seems a bit odd. Some of the comments about men perhaps might be construed as offensive if you have a thin skin, but even so, why teletext viewers in particular? Douglasnicol 18:39, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
The show has been repeatedly critisised as being sexist where they spend significant time objectifying men and critising them. Look at the following link for your evidence.

Can someone provide a source to confirm that this originally aired in 1996. All other sources on the net seem to suggest that this programme first aired in 1999. This is what I remember also. Nadia Sawalha was one of the original presenters, and she didn't finish EastEnders until 1999. Gungadin 19:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Can we come to a consensus about the lead host. It seems some people get peeved if Kaye Adams name is removed, but it's almost farcical to still refer to her as the lead host when she hasn't been on the show for so long. Douglasnicol 18:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Does someone here have some sort of obsession with having Kaye Adams name as the leading host. It's been nearly a year since she was last present, and it is misleading to still have her listed. Her picture in the studio is down, and if she is unsure as to whether she is coming back it is not correct to list her as the leading host. Douglasnicol 18:21, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Kaye Adams has confirmed it herself, she is leaving Loose Women after 7 years as the leading host, appearing ever since the very first episode in 1999. I'm sure we can now put this debate to rest and concur that Adams is a defenite past panellist (although she did say she was taking "a break") but I do think it's a shame, although Brambles and McLean are good, Adams had that spark, she was more confident, more loud and could easily fight the likes of Carol McGiffin who seems to have a last say now on the panel, I expect an announcement will be made as to who the new defenite Leading Host(s) will be soon and that Adams' departure will be officialy confirmed on a later show.
Leading Host: Kaye Adams (1999-2006).—Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Ms.raymond (talk • contribs)
If you go on Kaye Adams' page or Jackie Brambles' you will see at the bottom a little box with the previous host and the next host, check it out for yourself! User:Ms.raymond 21:30, 13 August (UTC)
No on their actual individual pages, go on Jackie Brambles' page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ms.raymond (talk • contribs) 20:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Jackie Brambles is the Leading Host as she does 3 shows a week the majority and she has been there since series 7 - 2005. Andrea McLean is the main host as she does 2 shows a week the minority and she has been there since series 11 - 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.14.25.79 (talk) 17:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

The article uses the term "ladies" in several places. Isn't this term a bit old fashioned or quaint? I think "women" is the more normative term in the present age. I am over 50 and even I think it is odd though I've been out ot the UK for a while.--Tom (talk) 23:24, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
They refer to themselves as "ladies" when talking to each other. Digifiend (talk) 14:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Can't the article be edited to replace the term "ladies" with "panalists" or "co-hosts" please? The grammar in this article is also quite appalling... --86.22.157.47 (talk) 11:25, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Under "The Show" the table says the Friday show is live but in the text it says Friday's show is recorded on Thursday at 5.30! In fact the whole thing doesn't make sense. Saintmesmin (talk) 10:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Regarding the lighting problems under 'technical problems', as a production member on the show I can confirm that both shows were live. The problem was due to DMX communication problems between a new lighting control desk and the lighting dimmer bank.
I can confirm that Mon, Tues and Thurs are live. Weds show is recorded on the Tues at about 5pm, and Fridays in recorded on the Thurs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daneaston (talk • contribs) 22:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

The information was correct of the time of date!!! I kept the information correct on this page for years!! You obviously no nothing about this programme. Jackie is a leading host because she was kaye's original maternity cover, and generally does 3 shows a week, more than Andrea!!! Andrea is a main host because she was jackies maternity cover well into series 11!!, and she generally does 2 shows!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.11.172.214 (talk) 16:21, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Can we discuss the loose women series, in 2002. Panelists, Anchors, Set and guests. I have found proof that claire sweeney and fiona phillips, are in the panel off 2002. As there is a photo on claires unofficial website —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.137.116 (talk) 13:52, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Well there has to be more than two panelists, and Kaye, Nadia, Ruth and Jane were all on maternity leave. Imdb says Gabby logan, linda lusardi,rebecca wheatley and amanda platell were panellists but there not allways right and there is no visual proof. Like there is for claire sweeney and fiona phillips. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Looselover91 (talk • contribs) 20:14, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Could somebody please correct this issue, the name 'loose @ 5.30' implies that the show is aired at 5.30, it is not, it is aired at 12.30 on weekdays. i understand that 'live talk' was the name of the studio the show was filmed in, and 'loose @ 5.30' was a spinoff of the show, but these are not formal names of the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.193.169.114 (talk) 12:40, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Since when is zoe tyler a guest panellists she has been on the show for 4 series. She is a regular panellists
Live Talk was a re-branding of Loose Women. The programme lasted 2 series, series one was in 2000 and series 2 in 2001. It was filmed in Manchester and not London like Loose Women
Many of the former Loose Women team, came to the show including Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha, Pattie Coldwell, Karren Brady, Coleen Nolan and Julie Hesmondhalgh. Loose Women regulars Jane Moore, Ruth Langsford and Trish Adudu did not join the rest of the team in Manchester, as they had other projects in London.
For this new programme, brought many new panellists including: Carol McGiffin, Jenny Powell, Jenni Trent Hughes, Kathryn Apanowicz, Emily Symons, Anne Diamond, Denise Black, Kim Hughes, Sally Gunnell, Julie Peasgood, Lauren Booth, Jenni Murray, Lorraine Kelly, Tracy Shaw, Denise Welch, Heather Mills, Kate Garraway and Sheila Hancock.
I don't think this show is for men. I don't think you should watch it if you are a man. Personally I don't want to listen to a load of old women talking about pregnancy and period pain all day long. What does everybody else think? In fact these women should be shut up and locked away. --86.45.194.207 (talk) 22:41, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
I've removed two stories from the "Controversies" section because they're just gossip. The Joan Rivers thing is genuine controversy because it resulted in interruption of a segment of the programme due to what was considered inappropriate conduct by the production company. --TS 14:30, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Isn't there a better way to list the panelists? I'm sure they used to be listed in order of year or something whereas now it's in alphabetical order with all this "on/off" stuff where on scrolling down you can't actually see which year they were on/off!
Can somebody tell me why Rachel's name has been scrapped from the presenters list, She is yet to appear on the current series but that doesn't mean that she's has left the show. I have corrected this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wizzy500 (talk • contribs) 09:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
What has happened to the new loose women you search the Country for, she has been only on a couple of shows, so come on, where is she now, why go through all that trouble, to not have her on regularly, get rid off a few and lets have some new blood. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.8.249 (talk) 13:12, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
In order goes Andrea McLean: As she is the longest serving anchor, since 2007 and so is the leading anchor. Kate Thornton: As she has only been a loose women anchor, since 2009 and so is the main anchor. Ruth Langsford: As she is only a guest anchor until the return of Kate Thornton.

Hello all. Well there's a bit of a dispute surrounding the duration of Lynda Bellingham and Janet Street-Porter. Both these people took breaks in 2011, and an unknown user only identifiable via an IP says that this should be noted in the duration, but it's only break as they never formally left the show therefore surely it shouldn't count. If Bellingham had left in mid-January 2011 and returned on 31 December 2011, we wouldn't have changed it, and her break was a lot shorter than that.
But what does everyone else think anyway? Arsenalfan24 (talk) 19:11, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Lynda Bellingham is on hiatus and is due to return in June 2012. Sally Lindsay is also away filming her programme 'Mount Pleasant'. Both of these presenters should stay on the list as they have not left the show; they are on long term leave. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.205.20.112 (talk) 02:43, 19 May 2012 (UTC) Lynda's last appearence was august 2011. Her next appearence will be sept 2012. Surely thois suggests that she has had a whole year/series out? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.236.198 (talk) 04:23, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
Exactly. She's on hiatus, aka a break, therefore her duration is not effected as she hasn't actually left the show. And no, she's returned within a calendar year of her leaving. Had she left on 1 January 2012 and returned on 31 December 2012, we wouldn't have changed it, therefore it's not needed.Arsenalfan24 (talk) 18:33, 22 May 2012 (UTC) Surely it does not matter whether she has left or not officially- the fact she won't be appearing on this current season means she was not on the series and therefore, from 2011-2012 she was not on loose women. Sally Lindsay is just taking about 4-5 months off the show but has appeared on the series. In the same way Jane McDonald left the show in 2010 to do work projects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.255.35 (talk) 23:17, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
You're wrong. Loose women is in series, which is why they say 'join us for our new series in September' before their summer break. Lynda will have missed more than 12 months when/if she ever she returns and so it is relevant to note the break. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.30.43.237 (talk) 00:55, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
is she regular relief anchor/cover anchor or not? someone keeps putting it back and others remove it and i'm not sure if she is/isn't tbh?Arsenalfan24 (talk) 22:48, 22 May 2012 (UTC) No she isn't. She does stand in now and again, but nowhere have ITV confirmed she is their official 'guest anchor' or 'relief presenter.' She does it the most often, but others have guest anchored a lot as well such as Fiona Phillips and Kate Garraway who have never been referred to as 'the official relief anchor.' Just someone with nothing better to do making things up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.255.35 (talk) 23:15, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
I think we should scrap the guest appearance dates that we put in durations. For example, Janet Street-Porter has 2004-10, 2011, 2012-; however, this is misleading as appearing in one-show in 2011 is hardly a representation of the year, and she was never contracted to appear fully, it was just a cameo. I don't think they should be included. Arsenalfan24 (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Not to be anal, but there is no such thing as "anchors" in the UK. We never hear this applied in the UK at all. Anchor is American. It's always "presenter" or "co-presenter" in the UK. British-English should really be applied to this British programmes history

Over recent weeks there have been multiple additions and deletions to the presenter
and starring
fields in the infobox, far more than seen with any other TV program. I do not watch this program so I don't know whether these changes have been valid as they have not been explained. Please note that WP:TVCAST explains that we list cast in original credit order with new cast added to the end of the list and that cast are NOT removed from the list even if they leave the program. Unless somebody can justify recent changes I intend reverting the unexplained changes in the near future and adding a note to the infobox regarding WP:TVCAST. --AussieLegend (✉) 10:27, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
The episode tables in this article do not conform to any usual form of table used on Wikipedia. In a discussion I started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television (see here) it was agreed that this table should not exist in its current form. Can anyone here justify inclusion? If not, the tables will be removed per that discussion. --AussieLegend (✉) 08:06, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Could we please have the list of Presenters on each episode again, I personally find it interesting.

Can we have a table that just has the presenters on? I find that more interesting than the actual discussion of the episode. Does anyone know where the old table went and why it was deleted? Mikopale (talk) 20:51, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
Firstly I would like to apologise for not indenting my replies, I do not know how to, however am willing to learn. Secondly I have read the initial discussion, unfortunately I can’t add a comment, however I have read that you can talk about a deletion on the main pages discussion which I am doing. The initial article that was created with the presenters for each episode consisted of a lot of hard work and upkeep, to demolish all the work is a shame. Therefore I suggest to re-evaluate its return. I am not the only person who thinks it should be re-instated. I see no harm to anyone why it should be brought back. If anyone doesn’t want it then they can simply use there choice not to read it and let it be for people who are interested in it. I think this is the ultimate fairest solution to all.

Lots of claims cited to WP:THESUN and WP:DAILYMAIL, which are actually deprecated sources that shouldn't be used for anything and especially not any sort of claim about living people. A few to IMDB, which is unreliable 'cos it's user generated. If the cited information is to be kept, it needs WP:RSes.

Hi everyone,
Would you consider Kaye Adams as a regular presenter on Loose Women again? She has presented 6 Episodes within the last 3 weeks and I do believe she is back now presenting regularly, which she had difficulty doing before due to covid restrictions.
