Loose Women fans were left stunned after Kaye Adams delivered an unexpected announcement at the end of the latest episode. 

The long-running ITV talk show, known for its engaging discussions and celebrity interviews, will be temporarily taken off the air for over a week.

On Monday’s (March 10) episode, Kaye and her fellow panelists—Jane Moore, Judi Love, and Coleen Nolan—hosted a special celebration for Coleen’s 60th birthday. 

However, just as the show wrapped up, Kaye took a moment to share some unexpected scheduling news 

that caught both the audience and her co-hosts off guard.

Loose Women Pulled from Schedule Due to Cheltenham Festival

Addressing viewers directly, Kaye expressed gratitude for the day’s heartfelt celebrations before revealing that Loose Women would not be airing for the rest of the week. Instead, ITV will be providing live coverage of the Cheltenham Festival, a major annual horse racing event.

“That is it for today,” Kaye began, thanking the show’s guests and the audience. “We are off for the rest of the week, sadly, but we will be back next Wednesday.”

The news was met with surprise from fans, many of whom took to social media to express disappointment over the sudden break in programming. Some viewers voiced frustration that the popular talk show was being replaced by sports coverage, while others wished the panel a well-deserved break.

Coleen Nolan’s Emotional Birthday Celebration

Despite the unexpected programming shake-up, Monday’s episode was filled with joy and sentiment as Coleen Nolan celebrated her milestone birthday. The former singer and longtime Loose Women panelist was moved to tears when her family made a surprise appearance on the show.

The emotional moment unfolded as Coleen, unaware of the surprise, was guided into the studio blindfolded and wearing AirPods to ensure she remained oblivious to the setup. When she finally removed the blindfold, she was met with the sight of her three children—Jake, 32, Shane, 36, and Ciara, 24—who had all come together to celebrate the occasion.

Coleen, who has often spoken openly about her close bond with her children, was visibly overwhelmed with emotion. Seeing all three of them together in the studio was particularly meaningful, as it marked a rare moment when the entire family was in one place.

Mixed Reactions from Fans

While many Loose Women viewers enjoyed the heartwarming birthday tribute to Coleen, others were left disappointed by the announcement of the show’s temporary absence. Fans took to social media to share their reactions, with some expressing excitement for the panel’s return next week, while others lamented the disruption to their daily routine.

One fan tweeted, “Gutted that Loose Women won’t be on for the rest of the week! It’s my lunchtime guilty pleasure.”

Another added, “Love the show, but I guess we’ll just have to wait until next week. Hope the ladies enjoy the break!”

When Will Loose Women Return?

Although Loose Women is set to be off air for a week, fans won’t have to wait too long for its return. Kaye confirmed that the show will be back on screens next Wednesday, following the conclusion of the Cheltenham Festival coverage.

Until then, viewers can look forward to the panel’s return, where they are sure to bring back their signature mix of laughter, heartfelt discussions, and engaging debates.

For now, fans will have to make do without their daily dose of Loose Women—but if Coleen’s emotional birthday episode was anything to go by, the show will be back with plenty more surprises when it returns next week.
