Loose Women fans call out huge blunder as Ruth Langsford forced to make correction
Loose Women made a big mistake in the first few seconds of the show that aired on Tuesday 23 April.
Ruth Langsford opened the show along with fellow panellists Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards. The women went on to discuss government policies, nude holidays, and books. They also welcomed ex-Strictly Come Dancing judge, Arlene Phillips, who joined the show to speak about the late Len Goodman who passed away a year ago.
However, before Ruth welcomed the live audience, and viewers to the show, the narrator made a blunder that people picked up and went on to comment about on social media.
As the show began, the voice over introduced the segment as "Friday’s Loose Women" and it didn’t take long before fans noticed and took to social media to comment on it. One said: “Did they just say Fridays loose women?” Another added: “Did she say “Friday.” Today is Tuesday. #LooseWomen."
A third added: “@loosewomen did your announcer just announce ‘Friday loose women live’?" Luckily, Ruth also heard the blunder and corrected it by simply saying "welcome to Tuesday's show".
The program came shortly after Carol McGiffin dashed any hope of returning to the ITV daytime show. In a candid Instagram update, Carol also took the chance to promote her podcast, posting a photo of herself with a microphone and writing: "Apparently, some people are missing me."
She added: "Not because I haven't been on here for ages but because I'm not on that daytime ITV show I used to do, Loose Women. Sadly that little job isn't coming back but I'm not totally retired yet!"
However, Carol gave The Daily Star an update on her career and plugged her new audio job.
"I'm still doing this podcast which is called 'What's Your Problem With Nick Abbot and Carol McGiffin?' and it's available on most podcast outlets. We've been doing it for over four years and quite a lot of people like it! Go on, give it a go! You might enjoy it and you might even laugh."
Viewers however were quick to tell Carol they wanted to see her back. One shared: "Loose Women is SO boring without you. All the good original people keep leaving." A third chimed in, "Loose Women is definitely not the same without you. Hardly watch it now. Didn't know you had a podcast - I do now so I will be tuning in."
Another added: "Do miss you on Loose Women, turn off some days, can't stand some of them on the panel now, we've had the best I fear, enjoy your semi retirement."
