Loose Women returned for another daytime show on Tuesday with Coleen Nolan and Denise Welch alongside Christine Lampard and Linda Robson - and fans are adamant something happed between two panellists off-air.
During the episode they discussed various topics including menopause and friendships, with viewers quick to take to social media speculating that Coleen Denise came to blows during during an ad-break.
Christine was keen to get their thoughts on a claim that women only need one good friend in their life, prompting Denise to mention her attempts to organise a get together for the Loose Women panellists.
However, Coleen told Denise she didn't want to come on the Loose Women meet-up, while Linda said the former singer wasn't even in their WhatsApp group.
The awkward exchange prompted viewers to take to Twitter to insist there was a “bad atmosphere” in the studio, as one tweeted: “There seems to be a bad atmosphere on the panel today, give me a knife to cut it lol.”
Another wrote: “Something definitely happened backstage, you could cut the tension with a knife.”
They added, alongside a picture of two women not speaking to one another as they scrolled through their phones: "I bet it’s like this in the ad breaks."
A third wrote: "You can tell Coleen is very annoyed by Denise today," as another echoed: "The tension between Coleen and Denise is so obvious."
Denise, 64, said: “We've said that we're longing to get together and talk about stuff that we never talk about here, but let's put a pencil on it because you make more of an effort if you've got it in the diary somewhere.”
Coleen, 57, then replied, looking away: "But then I'd forget the diary, so..."
Christine, 43, joked: "You'd forget the diary, forget the invite?" Coleen said back: "Yeah. I don't want to sit and chat."
Denise replied: "She'll just get a rubber and rub it out,” before Coleen said: "I don't want to chat to you, I chat to you here."
Denise then told her: "Well you're not even invited, so..." Coleen said in reply: "I don't want to come. I don't want to come. I'm busy."
There have been repeated rumours circulating this year of an ongoing feud between certain Loose Women co-stars, but they have been constantly denied by the panellists.
