Nadia Sawalha has slammed claims the Loose Women panellists are caught up in a "feud" and admitted she actually has "intense" relationships with her co-stars.
The 58-year-old TV host said they all get on "so, so well" behind the scenes, but agreed things can seem "a bit heated" when they're on the daytime show.
The ITV show often sees the panellists clash over a wide range of topics and reports of infighting between the stars have surfaced throughout the years.
Nadia has now aimed to squash the rumours as she said: "There is no feud - I think it's that thing where people always expect women must be arguing, we honestly get on so well."
"When the audience are there and they see it get a bit heated, they will see us literally finish a topic and then go into the commercial break and then go, 'Can I have one of your crisps?, we just laugh it off backstage."
The actress insisted that she loves being part of the Loose Women panel and said it's nice to form "intense relationships" with her co-stars.
"I have great friends and I just love my job so much, I always say they have to take me out in a box in Loose Women," Nadia told The Sun.
She also went on to gush over her co-stars and said it's been great to have been given the chance to "get to know them so well".
Nadia isn't the first Loose Women panellist to comment on feud rumours.
Denise Welch broke her silence on the speculation earlier this month, denying any bad feelings between the stars.
However, she did admit that she's not afraid to be passionate during fiery debates.
"I'm not afraid to be passionate and committed about something, we all have different views, we're great friends," she told The Sun.
"I do get upset that people are trying to make out that we're always in some backstage feud."
The former Dancing on Ice star added: "I haven't fallen out with any of them in 20 years - but we have very feisty debates."
*Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV
