Recent tensions have surfaced on ITV’s daytime talk show, Loose Women, particularly during the episode aired on October 1, 2025. This episode featured intense debates among the panellists regarding political issues, following Keir Starmer’s remarks at the Labour Party conference. The vibrant exchange highlighted differing opinions on important political figures like Nigel Farage.
Host Kaye Adams and Divided Panellists
Kaye Adams moderated the discussion, engaging her fellow panellists, including Coleen Nolan, Mariella Frostrup, and Jane Moore. The conversation was sparked by Starmer’s repeated references to Farage and his political party, Reform UK, during his address.
Passionate Exchanges on Political Views
- Mariella Frostrup emphasized the need for a positive vision for the future, stating, “What the country really needs is a big, optimistic, bold view.”
- She expressed concerns about Farage’s influence, criticizing the narrative that gives him a “completely free ride” in political discussions.
- Kaye attempted to counter Frostrup’s arguments by referencing recent polling data, suggesting Farage represents a significant portion of the population.
The animated dialogue led to moments where the panellists were talking over each other. Coleen humorously remarked that she felt caught in the middle of the debate, referencing the ongoing discussion between Starmer and Farage.
Viewer Reactions
As tensions flared, Kaye ultimately expressed her frustration by saying, “I can’t do this anymore!” before shifting the focus back to Jane’s new look. Audiences reacted on social media platforms, sharing their perspectives on the lively debate.
- One viewer tweeted, “Stop interrupting each other #LooseWomen.”
- Another praised Mariella’s points, saying, “Well said, Mariella #LooseWomen.”
- In contrast, a critic noted, “Mariella never allows anyone else to have a point of view #LooseWomen.”
