Jane McDonald said: “It’s such a privilege to return to Loose Women. I am so thrilled to be able to work with the girls again and to be back with the viewers. Ever since I left the show, I’ve been inundated with people asking me when I’d go back. I’ve been so humbled by the public’s response. Even at my last concert, the audience were shouting we want you back on Loose Women!”
Executive Producer Sharon Powers said: "I am thrilled that Jane McDonald will be returning to the Loose Women panel. She has been truly missed by her fellow panellists & the viewers, and we couldn't be more delighted that Jane will be back in the Loose Women fold."
