An emotional announcement cast a shadow over Wednesday's edition of ITV's popular lunchtime panel show, Loose Women. Host Kaye Adams revealed that a long-standing and cherished member of the production team was leaving after more than a decade.
A Fond Farewell on Air
During the broadcast on 17th December 2025, presenter Kaye Adams addressed the audience with bittersweet news. She informed viewers that the show's producer, Elle, was stepping down from her role. Elle had been a integral part of the Loose Women team for 11 years, making her departure a significant moment for the programme.
"I might have a little cry today because our cherished producer Elle, it's her last day after 11 years," Adams confessed to the studio audience and co-stars. "So, we're going to say we love you, Elle." The sentiment was immediately echoed by fellow panellist Nadia Sawalha, who simply stated, "We're so sad."
Co-Stars React to the Departure
The day's panel, which also featured Mariella Frostrup and Olivia Attwood Dack, was visibly affected by the announcement. The revelation added a layer of genuine emotion to the show, which had been discussing the day's top stories as usual. The collective sadness expressed by Adams and Sawalha highlighted the close-knit nature of the team behind the long-running ITV staple.
Such on-air farewells are uncommon, underscoring the high regard in which the departing producer was held. The moment served as a public thank you and acknowledgment of her substantial contribution over more than a decade of work on the series.
What This Means for Loose Women
While the show will undoubtedly continue, the exit of a senior producer with 11 years of experience marks the end of an era for the production. Changes in key behind-the-scenes personnel can often influence the dynamic of a programme, though the core presenting team remains in place.
The heartfelt send-off demonstrates the family-like atmosphere the show cultivates, both on and off screen. Fans of Loose Women will be watching closely to see how the team adapts following this significant change in its production staff.
