Loose Women 'really sad' toy slammed by viewers

Loose Women viewers were left stunned by a new children's toy which was discussed on Tuesday's show.

Panellist Christine Lampard, who made her first appearance on the show today since having her baby son Freddie six months ago introduced the toy, which was a social media influencer kit.

The toy comes with a camera and ring light, plus many other accessories and was inspired by the success and popularity of social media and YouTube, as well as those who have found fame as influences.

The panel, which included regular faces such as Coleen Nolan and Janet Street-Porter, as well actress Sunetra Sarker, shared their opinions on the toy.

Coleen said: “Maybe I’m just old fashioned. I was happy with my little plastic post office but this is the world we live in and I need to get a grip because these are the toys of the future.”

Fans of the show were also quick to share their opinions, with one viewer agreeing with Coleen.

The Loose Women fan said on Twitter: “I wouldn’t buy it for my child but I think it’s keeping up with the times isn’t it now. Absolutely agree.”

But other fans thought it was wrong that the toy was aimed at children aged three.

One said: “I actually think it’s sad.”

Another viewer said: “Nope. Not for a three-year-old, that’s too young."

A third fan said: “I think that a social media kit for a three-year-old is really sad.

"If I had a three-year-old who knew what any of that stuff was I’d be wondering where on earth I’d gone wrong.”

*Loose Women continues at 12:30pm on ITV tomorrow
