Loose Women to ‘move to evenings for 20th anniversary tour’

Loose Women is reportedly set to take their show on the road this year in a bid to mark their 20th anniversary.

The lunchtime ITV panel show is reportedly gearing up to trade its daytime slot for an evening show held in front of live audiences.

Janet Street-Porter and Andrea McLean are reportedly said to be amongst the regular faces taking Loose Women to theatres around the UK.

A source told The Sun: “The ladies and their team felt this was the perfect way for Loose Women to celebrate 20 years on our screens. And the tour will remind us all why they’ve been such a success for so long."

Faces in the current line-up also include Stacey Solomon, Nadia Sawalha, Saira Khan, Carol McGiffin, Coleen Nolan, Ruth Langsford and Linda Robson.

The show first hit screens in 1999 with Sawalha, Jane Moore, Karren Brady and Kaye Adams on the panel.

Standard Online has contacted representatives of the show for comment.

Back again: Nolan returned to the show last month (ITV)

Last month the show welcomed back Nolan months after her very public spat with Kim Woodburn.

The panellist pulled out of TV commitments and postponed her solo tour after an on-air argument erupted with her former Celebrity Big Brother co-star last year, which saw Nolan targeted by a tirade of online abuse.

Viewers turned their anger to Nolan, who could be heard muttering under her breath while Woodburn spoke about her childhood.

At the time, Nolan’s team released a statement declaring that she would be taking a hiatus from television and would only return to work once she “felt stronger.”

Loose Women is on ITV, weekdays at 12:30pm
