Loose Women schedule shakeup as ITV show taken off air

Loose Women's Jane Moore delivered a piece of news that stirred the show's faithful viewers as she revealed a temporary shake-up to the regular programming schedule.

While at the helm of Thursday's episode, alongside panel members Katie Piper, Coleen Nolan, and Tanni, Jane entertained audiences with discussions on the latest buzzworthy topics.

However, she dropped the bombshell at the end of the show that Loose Women would not be broadcast on Friday (April 24) due to comprehensive coverage of horse racing events taking place at Sandown and Perth.

Jane broke the news to the home audience and those in the studio, stating: "That's it for today and the rest of the week we will be off air because of the racing."

Building anticipation for what's to come upon their return, she continued by saying: "We are back next week with Vanessa Williams, Michael Brandon and Victoria Derbyshire."

The programme also featured a special appearance from Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, who spoke candidly about penning her new memoir 'Matriarch' and gave an intimate account of her struggle with breast cancer, reports the Mirror.

With genuine emotion, Tina shared insights into her close-knit female friendships and the ordeal of her diagnosis, admitting: "Friendship with women is of the utmost importance to me, it's one of my biggest priorities to stay connected because when I went through that, I depended on my daughters. I didn't tell everybody in my friend group.

"But, I didn't even have to tell them what was going on, I just went to Houston and gathered my girlfriends and we went to church, we went to lunch, we went out partying at a club and dancing.

"And I just told them, 'I don't want to talk about what's going on but I just need you guys right now' and they were all right there with me so they've been a big part of my life, my whole life. With this one, they were the first people I told.

"They were the only people I told for a while and they rallied around me, they always have at those very difficult times.

"When I went through divorce, the first time I was devastated, and my girls were right there to lift me up and tell me that I can do things, and make me laugh because you know at those times, you need laughter too and they are my rock really."

Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV and ITVX
