Loose Women star Jane Moore moved in with man - before discovering he was her cousin

Loose Women star Jane Moore told an incredible story on Thursday's show of how she felt compelled to a man she worked with and even ended up moving in with him - before discovering they were cousins.

Kaye told her fellow hosts Nadia Sawahla, Kaye Adams, and Kelle Bryan that she felt "compelled" to the man but their relationship was purely platonic.

The women were discussing Netflix show The One, which takes place in a world where people can find their perfect love match based on a DNA test.

Nadia asked Jane, who has been married to Gary Farrow since 2002: "You had a DNA moment?"

Jane replied: "I did, I met a guy, we were working together, we just connected in a friendship way, just felt very compelled towards each other.

"We ended up sharing a flat, and it turned out we were cousins.

"Out of all the millions of people in London I could have... Thankfully he is gay, so we never ever, you know, got anywhere like that.

"But what a weird thing, we discovered that my grandmother and his grandfather were brother and sister!" she remarked.

Emmerdale star Gemma Oaten also starred on the show, where she opened up on her horrific eating disorder battle that left her 24 hours from death.

Gemma stressed the importance of not judging whether somebody has an eating disorder based on their weight.

She explained: "I was ten years old and in hindsight I realise it was down to the bullying, I couldn't control what people were saying or doing to me but I could control what went inside me, but I didn't know that, I didn't know what anorexia or an eating disorder was.

"My parents took me to the doctor because they recognised the warning signs, god love them, but the doctor turned me away and said I wasn't low enough in weight to have a problem.

"Cut to a year and a half later, I was admitted to a children and adolescent's psychiatric unit and told that if I didn't eat or drink within 24 hours I would be dead.

"And thus began the 13 year narrative of my life, battling, fighting for my life with an eating disorder."

She added: "Early intervention is key when it comes to eating disorders, waiting for the weight to change isn't going to change what is already there, we have got to stop trying to treat a mental health illness by looking at physical attributes."

*You can talk in confidence to an adviser from eating disorders charity Beat by calling their adult helpline on 0808 801 0677 or youth helpline on 0808 801 0711.

Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV at 12.30pm
