Loose Women fans were left absolutely gobsmacked today after Janet Street-Porter called Andrea McLean a s**t live on air.
On today's instalment of the popular ITV daytime show, the panel were debating whether eating in the cinema is acceptable.
Outspoken panelist and Loose Women regular Janet, 73, argued you should call out noisy eaters in the cinema and said loud popcorn should be banned, the Daily Star reports.
Andrea, on the other hand, presented the case that digging into tasty treats during a film is enjoyable and that timing when you tuck in with noisy moments is an enjoyable challenge.
"Half the fun at the cinema is waiting for noisy bits and then eating your food," Andrea said.
Janet quickly responded and said: "It's so common to eat at the cinema and at the theatre, I'm sorry."
After Andrea jokingly replied with, "That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me," Janet proceeded to shockingly label her a s**t, out of the blue.
"You're a s**t. Andrea," Janet said live on air.

One wrote on Twitter: "Has Janet actually just called Andrea a sl*t?!? #LooseWomen"
Another added: "JSP actually called Andrea a sl*t! Is she ok? #LooseWomen."
A third said: "Janet: 'You're a sl*t, Andrea'… Andrea: 'We'll be back after the break'."
A fourth added: "Not very nice of Janet calling Andrea a sl*t. "
However, some viewers defended Janet and saw the funny side of the remark.
One fan argued it was "clearly a joke".
Another wrote: "I had to jump on the hashtag when I heard JSP calling Andrea a sl*t. I wasn’t at all disappointed... it was so unexpected and hilarious."
