ITV Loose Women: Janet Street Porter angers viewers with shock announcement
LOOSE WOMEN left viewers utterly stunned during today’s instalment of the ITV programme as Janet Street Porter made a shocking announcement and some were “disgusted”.
Loose Women: Janet announces she's had bowel movement
Loose Women presenter Janet Street Porter is never shy about airing her opinions on the daily ITV programme and often gets into heated discussions with her colleagues.
Today’s panel consisted of favourites Andrea McLean, Chizzy Akudolu, Stacey Solomon and 71-year-old Janet.
But after a brief introduction and chat between the women, Andrea was quick to turn the spotlight onto the red-headed journalist.
“We’ve got to move on,” she said urgently. “Because Janet’s got a big announcement to make.”
As viewers waited with baited breath, no one could have been prepared for what was to come.
Grinning, Janet shared: “I can exclusively reveal, well exclusively? Not really because I’ve told everyone I’ve seen.
“But I can reveal - there has been movement.”
The entire audience shared a “wow” noise but there was confusion with viewers.
Deciding to clear things up, 48-year-old Scottish presenter Andrea addressed the camera directly.
“Movement of the bowel kind for those that don’t know,” she said with a giggle.
I can reveal - there has been movement
Sharing the story of how her pain and subsequent medication-use had led to chronic constipation for the last two to three weeks, Janet didn’t appear bothered about the sensitivity of the issue.
“How long hadn’t you been before?” Stacey, 28, asked.
Taking a serious tone, Janet shared: “Put it this way, even a small piece of bread was living in my upper body.”
“Up to here!” Andrea joked.
The entire studio shared their elation for the presenter’s plight to be over and a round of applause followed.
But not everyone felt the same, and viewers at home were less than impressed.
Taking to Twitter, one person raged: “Oh Jesus Christ. F*****g hell WHY THE F**K WOULD WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HER BOWEL MOVEMENTS? Oh dear god no. #LooseWomen.”
“I don't need to hear about Janet Street Porter's bowels #LooseWomen,” another simply wrote.
A third agreed: “@loosewomen please please please don't tell me that Janet is talking about her s******g routine again!!! #loosewomen #itv.”
While a fourth laughed: “Omg I don't believe Janet said that on national TV I was just eating a bacon butty.”
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.
