Loose Women was very nearly thrown into chaos on Friday, when an alarm went off minutes into the show starting, just as Denise Welch was speaking.
Having been reprimanded by co-star Katie Piper a day earlier, Denise was back on the panel of the ITV lunchtime programme on Friday, to join host Kaye Adams and co-stars Sunetra Sarkar and Carol McGiffin in the studio, with viewers left curious by the teasing of a big Strictly announcement.
Kaye also revealed that the Loose Women would be joined by special guest Gok Wan, before kicking off proceedings with a discussion about the cost of living crisis, as a newspaper front page carrying the headline 'Broke Britain' flashed up on screen.
