Loose Women's Judi Love reveals crushing 'mum guilt' for heartbreaking reason
Judi Love has revealed she often struggles with 'mum guilt' in a new interview with OK!. The Loose Women star, who has a 19-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son from a previous relationship, said: "I think we all [have mum guilt] – it’s completely natural as a mum trying to balance a career with spending as much time with your children as possible.
"I always try to remind myself that as long as I’m doing my best to nurture them and set an example, which we all are, there’s nothing to be guilty about."
44-year-old Judi is fiercely private when it comes to her children being in the spotlight, but continued that they 'inspire' her constantly. "My sets are often inspired by my children, I talk a lot about them in my shows. That way when I’m missing my children on tour, it’s like I’m bringing a piece of them with me.”

Judi doesn't show her kids' faces on social media and keeps them away from her work, which often sees her on the Loose Women panel. Aside from her TV work and stand-up comedy, Judi continued to tell us that she's using 2025 and her forties to focus more on her health.
The star said that since hitting 40, she’s been taking more care with her eating and drinking habits. “You do have to be more careful as you get older I’ve found, and I’m more mindful of what I’m putting into my body," said Judi.
Judi has kicked off 2025 by joining forces with Pink Lady apples for a new campaign. She explains, “I’m so excited to be working with Pink Lady apples – the campaign is all about fear of judgement at lunchtime. According to new research, 81% of office workers admit they wouldn’t eat the same foods at work that they enjoy at home, because they fear being judged by coworkers. The message of the campaign is ‘you do you’ – which is how I try to live my life!”
We wonder, what are lunch breaks like behind the scenes at Loose Women? “We do embrace the food that brings us joy for our lunches – and it’s a real mix.” says Judi. “Sometimes I’ll fancy grabbing something from a café near the studio, and other times I’ll want something warm – like homemade leftovers – which I’ll bring in. One of my go-to office lunches would be homemade curry – that’s a lunch I’d always look forward to!
“My lunch is usually very flavour-packed so it definitely creates some nice smells and probably some food envy too! Although we all get food envy occasionally as there’s generally lots of delicious food around at lunchtime.”
