Viewers of Loose Women will have a break from the repeat episodes on Thursday as the show is set to return to screens. Regulars such as Christine Lampard, Stacey Solomon, Brenda Edwards and Nadia Sawalha will be presenting the show from the comfort of their own homes for a very special one-off episode to mark NHS day.

The daytime panel show, whose live shows were recently pulled off air due to the lockdown restrictions surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, will return as part of the special day, coined by ITV as a way of dedicating programming to celebrate and thank NHS front line workers as they tirelessly contribute to the fight of the pandemic.
The Loose Women stars have been adjusting to the new way of working and have revealed what they have been missing about the show. Panellist Kaye Adams took to Instagram to express her sadness at missing the show, writing: “Truly missing these lovely ladies and all of the @loosewomen today. Can’t wait till we’re all back together again!” with Christine agreeing, commenting underneath: “likewise” alongside a series of kissing emojis.
