Loose Women viewers baffled as show is cut short halfway through

Loose Women viewers were confused after Tuesday's show as it was cut short at 1pm, lasting just half an hour instead of its usual one-hour slot.

Many took to Twitter to share their confusion as to why the ITV programme was cut off early.

ITV had changed its scheduling to make space for the live racing later on in the day at 1:30pm as well as the usual ITV news programme slotted in the middle.

One viewer tweeted: " #LooseWomen only on for 30 minutes?"

"Oh is that it.... thought it lasted to 13:30hrs #LooseWomen " remarked another disappointed fan.

"O well Loose Women gets cut again for Horse Racing, Wish they cut the Horse Racing on @ITV and put it on the ITV Racing Channel," declared a third.

A fourth ranted: "Racing b******s #LooseWomen ".

But just because the episode was short, does not mean it was not eventful.

Panelist Linda Robson revealed that she was once mugged and punched so hard she got a black eye, over a bag of dog poo.

She had been speaking to her co hosts Andrea McLean, Janet Street Porter and Saira Khan about designer poop scoop bags for dog owners.

"I did have an occasion once where I woke up in the middle of the night and I could smell poo from downstairs," Linda, 62, began.

"So I went downstairs to the front row where my dog had had an accident, got it all up and I actually put it in a Selfridge's bag, put the poo in a Selfridge's bag, went to the front door, looked to make no one was looking, and there was one of those big dustbins that put all your rubbish in.

"So I thought I'd sneak over and put it in that because I didn't want it in my dustbin.

"And I walked across the road to put it in the bag, and this bike came past me, punched me in the face, and took the Selfridge's bag, and drove off," she said, as Janet covered her face and laughed but Andrea looked horrified.

"I had a black eye, and all he got was a bag full of poo," added Linda.

* Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV at 12:30PM
