Loose Women viewers FURIOUS after Ruth Langsford drops THIS ITV bombshell: ‘I’m so angry’
LOOSE WOMEN fans have been left angered by today’s episode after Ruth Langsford announced that the show will be cut down.
Loose Women gets CUT SHORT because of Royal Ascot
ITV are broadcasting Royal Ascot and have therefore decided to slash the daytime panel programme to just half an hour.
The time adjustments will continue for the rest of the week to allow bosses to air the Berkshire-based sporting event.
Introducing the show, 57-year-old Ruth said: “Hello and welcome to you at home. This is your Tuesday Loose Women. It’s lovely to see you.”
However, the presenter then dropped the bombshell: “Royal Ascot starts today and ITV are covering the racing so we’ve only got half an hour today.”

As the studio audience sighed, Ruth continued: “Ah, I know. The show will be over before it begins.”
Teasing her co-host, 52-year-old Coleen Nolan joked: “Oh, a bit like sex,” prompting Ruth to gasp: “A bit like sex, says Coleen Nolan. Thank you for that contribution!”
Coleen then added: “It’s alright. Half an hour… you’re impressed with half an hour? No, I’m lying.”
The disappointing news caused a stir with loyal fans who rushed to social media to complain.

One viewer tweeted: “#NOTHAPPY Can't believe that @loosewomen for the rest of the week is only on from 12:30pm till 1pm!! All because of the horse racing…”
“Loose Women is on half hour today I’m so angry horse racing again 2 weeks ago we had horse racing I’m angry,” posted another.
A third questioned: “@loosewomen Why does the show have to be cut down by half an hour?”
It comes as 59-year-old panelist Linda Robson posted a series of snaps of the Loose Women ladies soaking up the sun in Ibiza.
Loose Women continues tomorrow on ITV at 12.30pm.
