Janet Street-Porter confesses to having sex with lodger instead of charging rent

Janet Street-Porter has confessed to having sex with her lodger instead of charging rent.

The Loose Women star, 73, stunned the rest of her gobsmacked panel with the saucy confession.

Janet revealed she had multiple male lodgers during a discussion on whether sharing your home can help to beat loneliness.

Clarifying they weren't all together, Janet explained: "I had a couple of male lodgers. Not at the same time. One after the other.

"And I've got to admit I did have sex with one of mine because I didn't charge him rent."

Mortified Brenda Edwards, who couldn't hide her shock, claimed it was a "lodger with benefits".

Janet sent the audience into fits of giggles once again when she revealed she only asked her lodger for crumpets.

She said: "The only thing I asked of him. He always had some crumpets in the frigde."

Host Andrea McLean stressed it was a "mutually agreeable relationship" and clarified the lodger was "alright with all the arrangements".

Janet asked: "Why wouldn't he be?"

She added: "It was a period in my life, I was a bit lonely and occasionally...I don't think I need to go into any more details."

That wasn't the end of Janet's confessions - as she admitted she only washes her dirty knickers once a week.

But she was forced to clarify that this meant only doing washing once a week as she can't stand clothes hanging up everywhere.

When asked about living with a stranger, Janet said it was a great idea, but explained her three house rules.

She said: "My house rules include knicker washing only once a week. I can't stand washing eveywhere. Do your washing once a week.

"I like playing Scrabble. Obviously I like to win so I only invite people to share a house who aren't better than me.

"And also I've got a definitive idea of when I want my first glass of wine for the day."

Loose Women viewers took to Twitter after hearing Janet's hilarious confessions.

One fan said: "I've just cried laughing at Janet's lodger sex story. I've gone round the twist big time."

"Janet Street Porter has me in absolute fits," added another.

A third agreed: "Go Janet!! You are such a funny, get out there and share it lady!"

*Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV at 12.30pm
