Loose Women's Judi Love Speaks on Panel's Support for Olivia Attwood
Judi Love has exclusively revealed how the Loose Women panel rallies around co-stars during difficult times, specifically addressing fellow panellist Olivia Attwood's recent personal struggles. The television presenter and comedian, who received two nominations at the RTS Programme TV Awards, emphasized the show's strong sense of sisterhood.
Unwavering Support Behind the Scenes
When asked if the panellists support each other through tough periods, such as Attwood's painful marriage split from footballer Bradley Dack in January, Love told the Mirror, "Yes, all of us support each other no matter what we're going through, and that's the most important thing." She elaborated that this camaraderie extends beyond professional boundaries, allowing the women to discuss various aspects of their lives, including parenting, relationships, and personal moves.
Attwood, 34, a former TOWIE star who joined the Loose Women panel in 2023, has been in the headlines following her split and the emergence of photos showing her kissing KISS FM co-host Pete Wicks at a London bar. Amid this love life drama, Attwood posted a defiant selfie on Instagram, writing, "And reading 'hey girly' texts on my break, gals come to the front today please and then I'm moving on with my life ty x."
The Essence of Sisterhood on Loose Women
Love, 45, highlighted why she values being part of the ITV daytime chat show, stating, "It's the sisterhood, it's that right there." She explained that having a group of women to converse with about diverse life areas is incredibly meaningful. This support network, she noted, is a key aspect of what makes the show special for her and her colleagues.
During the interview, Love also discussed her hectic schedule and recent accolades. She was nominated twice at the RTS Programme TV Awards—once with Loose Women for Best Daytime and once for her show Prime's Last One Laughing, which won the Comedy Entertainment award. Joking about the nominations, she said, "Yeah, hopefully I get two meals as well," showcasing her trademark humor.
Balancing Career and Family Life
In addition to her role on Loose Women, Love is starring in the new ITV reality show Celebrity Sabotage, where she joins Sam Thompson, GK Barry, and Joel Dommett in pranking the public for cash prizes. As a mother to a teenage son and daughter, Love previously expressed a desire to be a 'cool mum.' Reflecting on this, she smiled and said, "I think I have! My daughter sat down with me the other day and watched it, so heyyy – this mumma's cool."
She added that it's a lovely experience to have a primetime Saturday night show that her children can watch, noting, "It's nice to be able to just sit at home, even if I wasn't on it, to be watching things on a Saturday night with the children. This is what television is about, it brings us all together and that's what's special."
Love's insights underscore the close-knit nature of the Loose Women panel, demonstrating how they provide emotional support during personal challenges like Attwood's recent split and new romance developments.
