Strictly Come Dancing’s Ed Balls and Judge Rinder to join Loose Women as they become new panellists on Loose Women & Men
Judge Rinder has said that he'll be so forthright he'll 'make Janet Street-Porter seem like Pollyanna'
LOOSE Women are set to have two rather unusual additions to their panel - Strictly stars Ed Balls and Judge Rinder.
The flamboyant duo will be panellists in special Loose Women & Men this Friday and are joining regulars Andrea McLean and Nadia Sawalha.
Speaking ahead of his appearance, Ed said: "I had a great time with the lovely Loose Women when I was on as a guest - showing them a few dance moves! So I can only imagine what mischief we will get up to with a whole hour on the panel. I can't wait."
Last time Ed was on the show he joked that he would be taking his "snake hips home" to his wife - shortly before performing his rendition of Gnagnam Style live on air and sweeping Janet Street-Porter off her feet.
Judge Rinder also revealed that he couldn't wait: "I am very much looking forward to being on the panel. You can expect me to be thoroughly forthright, so much so, I'll make Janet Street-Porter seem like Pollyanna!"
Loose Women Editor Sally Shelford spoke about the decision to bring the pair onto the panel: “Only a few very special men have what it takes to be on the Loose Women panel, but Ed Balls and Judge Rinder have proven they are more than up to the challenge.
"Fun, feisty and not afraid to speak their minds, they survived the Strictly judges, but will they survive their fellow Loose Women panellists? Expect some fiery debates, a few surprises, and lots of laughs.”
Last year Loose Women saw specials, Loose Women & Kids and two instalments of Loose Women & Men. Loose Women also launched a new strand ‘Loose Women Undercover’ on Wednesday 4th January 2017.
The ‘Loose Women & Men’ special is on Friday 6th January at 12.30pm on ITV.
