Used to watch it years ago and wouldn't even think about it now . They would talk about their lifes as if they were just ordinary women , often saying about their hardships I.e. financial costs , day to day probs with housework . Yet they must earn thousands of £ s a year , have cleaners , helpers , nanny's. Private health care , dentists. They were talking fake . Entitled women who pretend their lifes are like ours .

I occasionally watch if Janet Street Porter is on

Does Kay Adams still present it? I generally think she makes some sensible comments. On the few occasions that I've watched it, I think it does a disservice to women. They rarely discuss important matters in a thoughtful and knowledgeable way, and it often makes it look like women are only capable of discussing trivialities.

Sometimes encountered it by accident when looking for the news. Can’t change it quick enough.

All full of their own importance! Individually ok but together a nightmare!

I’ve never watched it, but years ago I went with some friends to be in the audience. I found the filming process very interesting.
During the ad breaks Janet Street Porter and Jenny Le Clair were really integrating with the audience and seemed interested. The other two LW were on their phones .
The main guests were Micheal Ball and the teacher from The Inbetweeners .
And no it didn’t inspire me to watch it .

I saw a bit of one episode, years ago. Many excitable, shrieking women droning about things didn't appeal to me.

I am not keen on DW either. I like Katie Piper.

Yes, Northsoutheastwest, Katie Piper is an inspiration.
She's eloquent, thoughtful and charming and so very courageous too. 😊

Ohh no, it's a lot of women trying to outdo each other!
So much for women NOT behaving like men????t
Some of the contributors make my teeth itch, particularly Linda Robson. ( Is she even still on it?)
Yep, they really l have let the side -down.
Such a shame, it could have been such a ground -breaking & valuable opportunity for women to showcase their intellect & wisdom. 🤔

Dreadful prog

They've all "been there, seen that, got the T-Shirt"

Most of the Loose Women presenters are braying, strident, self-important know-it-alls. I've watched bits of it occasionally and have never understood what the appeal is.

Saw a bit of it once. That was quite enough thanks.

Do you mean Denise I have terrible depression/have lost loads of weight/have given up alcohol and so has my husband and we've never been happier/my son is in a famous rock band and dated Taylor Swift/I'm friends with Michael Caine Welch? Not dismissing her depression as I have it myself. She's one of the reasons I no longer watch LW.

Never watched it. Never will.

Wise woman! Nor shall .I any more.

Loose women is really getting on my nerves, in particular, the dreaded Denise who gets more opinionated by the day! If you chopped that wretched woman’s arms off, she wouldn’t be able to speak! Please can w3 have a change from her? She is just unbearable!
