Rod Stewart’s wife Penny Lancaster spoke out about having disagreements with her fellow ITV Loose Women co-stars, amid continued speculation about tensions behind the scenes
Loose Women‘s Penny Lancaster has revealed what truly happens behind the scenes following “disagreements” with her fellow panellists on the show. Rod Stewart’s wife regularly appears on the ITV daytime programme, with her most recent appearance coming last week after its planned hiatus.
When tackling divisive subjects, the presenters frequently express contrasting viewpoints during the live show. Nevertheless, Penny, 55, maintained that any passionate discussions stay in the studio and don’t spill over afterwards.
“We have disagreements on Loose Women but it’s healthy,” she told Yours Magazine. “I think the beauty of it is our differing opinions about everything – it makes the show interesting.
“We don’t fall out over it. We respect that we have different opinions and agree to disagree.”
Penny has additionally praised some of her colleagues for supporting her through the menopause journey after she found adapting to the transition challenging.
The former model’s latest comments follow claims suggesting certain Loose Women presenters clash away from the cameras.
Most recently, entertainment agent Melanie Blake alleged she had proof from a WhatsApp conversation where some panellists discussed others in a negative way.
Despite ongoing rumours, numerous stars from the show have dismissed suggestions of any tension. Denise Welch, particularly, has spoken candidly about the working environment on the programme.
Previously speaking to us, she described the cast as “very opinionated strong women”, adding: “Just because we disagree, doesn’t mean we’re in a feud, which drives me mad.”
She went on to say: “I have never and I will honestly say, hand on heart, in 23 years, I have never had an argument with anybody on that show. If we didn’t have discussions and debate, it would be a very boring show.”
Judi Love also revealed to OK! Magazine that she “gets on with everyone”, adding: “We’ve built genuine friendships.
“It’s always fun, always lively. The topics are wide-ranging. It’s a space where I can be myself – not just as a comedian, but as a woman, a mother and a voice for the community,” she added.
Regular panellist Coleen Nolan additionally told Bang Showbiz: “There’s no screaming matches behind the scenes, I think what happens is there is like a core beginning of the week group and a core end of the week group. So, Mondays and Tuesdays are normally the same panel as are our Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays.
“We don’t all socialise together. 24/7 We all live in different parts of the country. But when we’re at work, and whenever we happen to be lucky enough to socialise together, honestly, they’re just like my sisters. So I’ve got my sisters that I used to perform with and now I’ve got my Loose Women sisters is what it feels like.”
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
