Loose Men will return to ITV1 on Friday, November 18 at 12.30pm, to mark International Men’s Day this weekend. The all-male panel show is back for a special episode to tackle the taboos around men’s health and discuss the topics that really matter to them today.
Vernon Kay returns to host Loose Men for the third time and will be joined by actor Larry Lamb, chart-topper Olly Murs and TV and sports personality Ade Adepitan MBE, to make up the star-studded panel. Having previously worked to smash the stigma around men’s mental health, the panel will once again share their own experiences and encourage others to do the same, as they answer the all-important questions around men’s health, love and loneliness.
Singer and TV star Jake Quickenden also joins the show to discuss his health anxiety after losing his father and brother to cancer. To highlight the importance of regular check-ups, Jake will receive a testicular examination from Good Morning Britain and Lorraine’s doctor, Dr Amir Khan, in front of a studio audience. Dr Amir will share guidance on any warning-signs men should be looking out for themselves and how to overcome the apprehensions they often feel ahead of visiting a GP too.
