Ruth Langsford issued what turned out to be a fully justified warning to one of her Loose Women colleagues on Wednesday, right before chaos kicked off around her.
Former This Morning star Ruth was once again in charge of the ITV lunchtime show as it aired its third show of this week and was joined by co-stars Linda Robson, Janet Street-Porter and Kelly Holmes. Viewers got their first taste of what to expect from the hour long live programme when This Morning hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary cut to their ITV neighbours towards the end of their broadcast.
Ruth welcomed them to give a brief rundown of what to expect from Loose Women, with her raising discussion topics like whether you should remain friends with your ex's family after a break up and a debate on whether children should be able to opt out of their school sports days.

On that note, Ruth then announced that the show was 'putting its most competitive ladies to the test,' with the panellists in question being Janet and former Olympian Kelly. And it was then that she had a word of warning for Kelly, saying: "Watch out Kelly, because Janet Street-Porter plays dirty."
As sporting anthem Chariots of Fire played in the background, Janet and Kelly took part in a egg and spoon face, with things then taking a turn as Janet whacked Kelly out of the way, with the gold medal winner falling backwards and the camera zooming in on a cracked egg on the floor.
It then panned back to a rather startled looking Ruth who reacted: "She's fine, she's fine," as Kelly was seen trying to get herself back up and, back in the This Morning studio, Alison told viewers at home: "It was a stunt."
