Loose Women star Brenda Edwards called out a nasty troll after they slammed the latest episode which featured an all-Black panel.
Last Friday, Charlene White, Judi Love, Kéllé Bryan and Edwards fronted the popular ITV daytime show.
The foursome came together wearing royal blue for a special episode dedicated to Brenda’s son, Jamal Edwards, who died last February after suffering a cardiac arrest caused by recreational drugs.
The British entrepreneur famously founded music channel SBTV and had a hand in launching the careers of several UK artists including Ed Sheeran.
The incredible show of support for Edwards from her colleagues and friends delighted many at home.
Despite this, a troll claimed that the show was “anti-white”, which led Edwards to take to Twitter to call out the negative commentary with grace.
She wrote: “Wow seems you’re actually the anti one. Why is it always such a big deal when we are on?
“We’re just 4 beautiful, talented, strong women just like the panel that was on the day before, I really think you need to check yourself. I will pray for you.”
Her tweet comes after she revealed the signs she believes her late son has sent her, letting her know he is close by.
The 53-year-old visited the Loose Women studio on last Thursday to commemorate Jamal ahead of the first anniversary of his death.
Wow seems you’re actually the anti one. Why is it always such a big deal when we are on? We’re just 4 beautiful, talented, strong women just like the panel that was on the day before, I really think you need to check yourself. I will pray for you 💙 https://t.co/kCAd9XjoWF

While discussing Jamal’s legacy, she shared on Loose Women that she’s noticed signs from him, reminding her that he is always with her.
She said: “When he passed, we kept seeing things on the telly, and people might say, ‘Oh it is because this has happened’, but we would see things and it was something we had never watched and all of a sudden someone says the name Jamal.
“Or after he passed, they were playing the song Peru [which Sheeran featured on], which was a big track, but it was just hitting us.
“As we would say his name, something would come up.”
The presenter also spoke about a blue light appearing at home, after switching on a mood light, signalling Jamal’s favourite colour, and recalled being “chased” by a fox, which was the first animal Jamal filmed on a camera she gifted him when he was 15.
