Ruth Langsford was 'replaced' as host of Loose Women on Wednesday, with viewers massively divided over her replacement.
In the last few weeks, ex This Morning star Ruth has been the presenter most frequently at the helm of the ITV lunchtime show, being joined by an array of different co-stars, including Linda Robson, Janet Street-Porter, Frankie Bridge and Coleen Nolan. And it was Coleen who stepped up once again to anchor Loose Women, as the live broadcast was shortened to just half an hour for the second day in a row.
Ruth announced to viewers on Tuesday that ITV had 'cut' the show because of horse racing coverage from Royal Ascot, as the episode came to an abrupt end and on Wednesday, it was the job of Coleen to ensure that everything ran smoothly and to clock as Loose Women again was jut given a 30 minute slot in the schedule.
