Denise Welch was drafted in to appear on Loose Women at the last minute after Gloria Hunniford was forced to pull out. The 82-year-old was also left upset after she had to miss out on her role at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Gloria was set to appear on the ITV panel show on Monday (June 6) alongside her friend and singer Sir Cliff Richard to chat about their experience aboard a double-decker open-top bus which formed past of the Platinum Pageant in central London on Sunday (June 5).
But Ruth Langsford revealed that Gloria was absent from the Jubilee celebration, which saw a special appearance from the Queen to round off the four-day weekend, as well as the show as she appeared alongside fellow panellists Sophie Morgan, Denise Welch and Coleen Nolan.
