Loose Women viewers have praised ITV after its latest edition of Loose Men featured an all-Black panel, with many calling for the men’s spin-off to become a regular fixture.
Good Morning Britain’s Andi Peters fronted Thursday’s special show, which aired during Black History Month, and was joined by Diversity’s Jordan Banjo, Strictly Come Dancing star Ore Oduba, and The Chase’s Shaun Wallace.
During the episode, the panellists talked openly about the last time they cried as well as body dysmorphia.
‘I think it’s very important that we as men show the human side of our character,’ Shaun told the group as he discussed being in touch with his emotions.
Elsewhere, Jordan spoke about not wanting to leave his house after being body shamed. ‘I put on a lot of weight and it took me ages to shift it again,’ he said.
‘I came out of my radio show and this guy pulls up in a van next to me.

‘He puts his window down and goes, “Wahey – can tell you haven’t been dancing for a while!” I was with my friends. As a group of lads, we’re all expected to go, “Oh yeah, that’s funny”.
‘He drives off and to him, he’s had a bit of lad banter and we’re all meant to be like, “Oh, that was cool”.
‘But really? That stuff hurts.’
He continued: ‘For the next month I didn’t want to go out. I was like, are people going to recognise me from being in Diversity, but think, “Oh, he’s too big?”
‘It genuinely really affected me.’
Viewers were full of praise for the episode, with many calling for Loose Men to have their own weekly programme.
‘I am loving #LooseMen today,’ wrote one. ‘I wish we could have this show every Friday or one evening a week to keep allowing men to normalise conversations and to have a place to have them.’

Make it happen, ITV!
