The Loose women, including Andrea McClean, Kaye Adams and Nadia Sawalha, were speaking about autism when Eva opened up about Liza.

Eva explained: “My sister has just turned 50 and she’s amazing.

“She was born premature so she has mental disability – it’s similar to Down’s Syndrome, she’s fourth or fifth grade level.”

Born into a family of four girls, Eva revealed Liza was the oldest and described her as “hilarious”.
