Tipping Point Lucky Stars: Judi Love's rise to Loose Women panelist

Judi Love is trying her luck at winning some cash on Tipping Point's Lucky Stars tonight.

The 42-year-old is best known for joining fellow panelists to talk about hot topics on ITV's Loose Women. Before appearing on the daytime show, Judi found fame as a comedian.

In 2011, she made her professional stage debut with a show titled Laughter Is Healing. Nine years later she made her debut on Loose Women.

But her life hasn't always been plain sailing. She was a struggling single mother-of-two before she got her big break on the ITV daytime show's panel.

She was a qualified social worker living in damp conditions before becoming recognised. Her social housing home caused her now 11-year-old son to become ill due to damp and mould.

Writing in her OK! column she reflected on a time when her little boy ended up in intensive care. She said: "I was living in social housing, fighting my housing company due to the damp that was taking over my home.

"My son ended up in intensive care because of similar breathing complications. No one should be forced to live in such conditions."

On another occasion, she also opened up on the struggles of being a single parent. She wrote: "Last week I was busy with work and realised the tension of being a single parent. Juggling is relentless.

"We guarantee that you will be there every day for your children, as well as school forms, travel, play dates and after-school activities. In reality, we can’t put too much pressure on ourselves.

"The important thing is that we love our children. We are always trying to do our best, which is the final solution to my moment of confusion."
