Loose Women’s Charlene White abruptly paused the show as she amusingly called out her co-star for ‘lying’ live on air. During Tuesday’s (April 22) episode of the ITV hit daytime chat show, the TV presenter was joined by Kelly Brook, Brenda Edwards and Janet Street-Porter.
Just minutes into the show, Charlene was quick to point out that one of her fellow Loose Women panellists wasn’t being truthful.
Before getting stuck into the next segment, Charlene went on to say: “I’m going to stop proceedings right now because we have liars among us. A liar, ladies and gentleman.”
She revealed: “About ten minutes ago on the program, Janet had a go at Kelly for eating meat on Good Friday… But Janet, you forget that social media exists sometimes don’t you, because one of our producers has found this.”
A picture then appeared on screen of Janet enjoying a bacon and egg sandwich by the beach on Good Friday. Charlene continued: “This is Janet having breakfast by the sea on Friday morning, what do you see under the two fried eggs ladies and gentleman… I see bacon.”
Janet jumped in and asked: “How do you know it’s not vegetarian bacon?” Everyone burst out laughing as Kelly replied: “You owe me an apology.”
It was clear that Janet wasn’t keen on offering an apology as she playfully said: “A quick sorry but I’m not that sorry because most of the breakfast was egg.”
Charlene claimed: “That literally doesn’t count. Now we can go back to the show but I felt that needed to be highlighted.”
Janet joked: “You just wanted to humiliate me but carry on.” Charlene added: “That’s what you get for lying on national TV.”
The moment happened after Kelly Brook made her confession about husband Jeremy Parisi, who comes from a Catholic family, accidentally eating meat on Friday.
She said: “On Friday he gets a message from his mother, ‘just to remind you, you’re not supposed to eat meat today’. At which point the guilt that came over his face because he’d already had a fry-up, had already been served.
“Me being non-Catholic, none the wiser. I just thought that’s so interesting. That’s why I’ve always been kind of against a lot of religions because of the guilt that goes with divorce and you know, all sorts of different things.”
Janet then interjected and said: “Even I didn’t eat meat on Friday. I banned meat in my home. We did not have a fry-up on Friday, we absolutely did not!”
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV and ITVX
