Olivia Attwood has disclosed two surprising feuds that occurred behind the scenes of the popular show, Loose Women. During a conversation with fellow panellist GK Barry on her podcast, Olivia explored tensions with a longstanding member of the cast.
Loose Women Feuds Unveiled
GK Barry, the youngest-ever panellist on Loose Women, opened up about her initial experiences on the show. She recounted feeling intimidated by veteran co-stars, particularly Janet Street-Porter, who has been part of the show since 2011.
First Impressions and Tensions
- GK mentioned her hesitation to engage with Janet for months, fearing the legendary host’s reputation.
- On the podcast, GK described a memorable encounter where Janet questioned her glam team preferences.
GK recalled how Janet commented, “Well, you need them, even when you go to Tesco?” This remark led to an unexpected confrontation, but GK stood her ground, asserting her team’s presence.
Olivia’s Similar Experience
Olivia shared her own story of feeling scrutinized over her wardrobe choices. She parted ways with traditional daytime attire, opting for more glamorous outfits that drew Janet’s critical eye.
- Olivia recalled Janet’s biting remark: “Are you going to get ready or is that what you’re wearing?”
- In response, Olivia cleverly replied that she would change outfits only if Janet agreed to do the same.
This playful exchange reportedly earned Olivia Janet’s respect and signaled a turning point in their relationship.
Long-Standing Legacy of Janet Street-Porter
Janet Street-Porter continues to be a prominent figure on Loose Women. She celebrated her 1000th episode in July 2024 and remains a staple of the show at the age of 79. Meanwhile, GK Barry joined the panel about a year ago, while Olivia became part of the lineup in 2023.
