Loose Women to become 'Loose Men' with all male panel featuring Ronan Keating and Marvin Humes

There will be a massive change to Loose Women this week when the show has an all male lineup for the first time ever in the show's 20 year history.

The ITV talk show which, as its title suggests, usually has an all female panel, is ringing the changes for one day only on Thursday, November 19, when the likes of Stacey Solomon, Ruth Langsford and Jane Moore will take a step back from their debating duties and leave it to the men.

After much speculation as to who might appear, Wednesday's Loose Women host Ruth reminded viewers at the end of the episode to tune in to see the all-male panel in action.

Thursday's special episode to coincide with International Men’s Day on November 19.

Marvin Humes will anchor the show and be joined by a panel of famous faces including Love Island narrator Iain Stirling, Boyzone star and multi-platinum selling singer Ronan Keating and radio and presenter and former I'm A Celebrity finalist Roman Kemp.

As well as sharing their own personal experiences, the Loose Men will be delving into the biggest issues of the day and also interviewing one of Hollywood’s most popular leading men, Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey.

Marvin Humes said: "With everything going on in the world right now there's never been a more important time for men to be open and honest about their mental health.

"I'm looking forward to anchoring the first ever Loose Men and raising awareness of the importance of men opening up like women do."

Speaking about the male takeover, Loose Women editor Sally Shelford said: "We’ve had several men join us as honorary Loose Men over the years, but this is the first time we've handed over the entire show to the guys - and it's for a very important reason."

'Loose Men' will air on ITV at 12.30pm on Thursday, right after This Morning.
