Vanessa Feltz has cheekily urged Loose Women viewers to take a 'little holiday' from the ITV show and tune into her new Channel 5 programme instead. The presenter, who left This Morning after three decades, now fronts a lunchtime show that clashes with Loose Women.
Speaking to Heart Bingo, Feltz said: 'I’m sort of hoping that Loose Women viewers might like a little holiday from them, maybe just for a couple of days or so! I hope that they’ll be curious and lively-minded and switch over to have a look at me.' She insisted there was no 'passionate rivalry' and called many Loose Women panellists 'very dear friends.'
Feltz admitted she will miss This Morning 'terribly' but understands she cannot do both shows. 'Knowing me, I would have squeezed in a quick This Morning and then rushed over on the back of a bike to do my own show on Channel 5,' she added.
Her new programme, described as 'real, honest and unpredictable,' aims to focus on viewers' stories and opinions. Channel 5's commissioning editor Federico Ruiz called Feltz 'an award-winning broadcaster and bona-fide national treasure.'
