Jane Moore was 'missing' from the panel of Loose Women on Thursday, minutes before the show was about to broadcast live to the nation, before her late arrival baffled ITV colleagues.
Journalist Jane made her debut on Loose Women over 20 years ago, when the ITV lunchtime discussion show made its debut. After a a stint as regular panellist, Jane then quit the show, before making a return 11 years later. As well being a long serving member of the panel, Jane has also been handed the opportunity to be host on numerous occasions over the last year, but, as she was due to make her first appearance on Loose Women this week, Jane was nowhere to be seen.
Viewers got a first look at what to expect from Thursday's Loose Women towards the end of This Morning, when presenters Holly Willoughby and Dermot O'Leary crossed live to their ITV neighbour, to be greeted by host Charlene White. The Loose Women presenters are typically joined by three co-stars for every edition of the show, but Jane was missing in action as only Kelly Holmes and Linda Robson joined Charlene on set.
