The Loose Women panel welcome Dancing On Ice star Jason Gardiner to the ITV talk show to speak about his new role in Ruthless.
Jason appeared as Sylvia St Croix, his character in the show, dressed in a bright blue frock, leopard print scarf and matching faux fur coat.
He left viewers guessing over his identity before he changed into a red T-shirt and trousers to chat about life after Dancing On Ice.
Speaking about why he took on the role of Sylvia, he dished: “When I was offered this part it was too delicious to say no to.”
Kaye went on to ask: “Does it help you to think as a woman?”
“Do I know what it’s like to be a woman? No, of course not,” Jason replied. “I don’t have all the necessary equipment.”
But the 46-year-old added: “I feel more powerful when I’m Sylvia rather than Jason.
“She is fearless and it is amazing how people respond to her.

“From the moment the Addison Lee driver opened the door, he didn’t know where to look.”
He continued: “I think there is real empowerment in it as well. It’s incredible.
“I think the world would be a much better place if we could understand one another.”
Jason later revealed that he was “saved” by drag queens when he was 16-years-old and moved to Sydney.

“It was rather abusive and these drag queens took me into their drag house. They really taught me the ropes.”
