The Loose Women show switched their panel on International Men's Day to open discussion on the issues that affect men in society.
Former Loose Men Jordan Banjo and Brian Conley were joined in the studio by Jeff Brazier and Craig Doyle, who are making their debuts.
First-time Loose Men panellist Craig said: “It’s so important for us all to talk more - because the more we talk, the more we can look out for each other.
"People can be ‘boiling kettles’ and have all this steam building up inside, sometimes we just have to take the lid off and let it go.

"Often a conversation with friends is the way to do that, which is why shows like Loose Women and Loose Men are hugely important in encouraging open conversation and letting people know it’s okay to be vulnerable.
“Doing Loose Men for the first time is a really cool opportunity because when I go on television, it’s usually my job to ask other people questions and we don’t always give that much of ourselves away.
" I think it’s hugely important to show that we all should all be more open.
"I’m sure the panel are going to get to know each other very quickly and hopefully get other people talking too and do some good.
