Cheltenham Festival boots Loose Women off air leaving fans feeling 'disgusted'

Loose Women fans have been left outraged after the show’s usual slot was replaced by the Cheltenham Festival.

The panel show, presented by Kaye Adams, Ruth Langsford, Andrea McLean, Christine Lampard and Stacey Solomon, normally airs at 12:30pm daily and features a number of topical debates.

Talk show viewers slammed ITV for abandoning the daily programme, branding the decision a “disgrace.”

Unimpressed viewers took to social media to complain that “sport always takes priority.”

One user wrote: “Who the hell wants racing on TV all week. You have taken Loose Women of the TV for this c***. ITV is a disgrace at the moment.”

“Why can they not put the racing on ITV2, 3 or 4? Why does sport always take priority? It p***** me off. #LooseWomen,” another added.

Meanwhile, other viewers wished host Coleen Nolan a happy birthday encouraging her to enjoy her day off.

The reality TV stars split in January, six months after meeting on Love Island, and days into Nelson’s stint on Dancing on Ice.

He told the panellists how he hasn’t spoken to Barton Hanson in a “good amount of time”, despite recent X-rated posts shared by Barton Hanson, but added that the pair are “civil.”
