Janet Street Porter has hit out at her Loose Women co-star Coleen Nolan branding her “bitter and twisted”.
The pair clashed on Tuesday’s instalment of the ITV lunchtime show during a discussion about family.
Recalling the time her mum and auntie died, Janet said: “When my mum died, I was close to my auntie. But when my auntie died recently I took the decision to work harder on my relationships with my two cousins, her two sons.”
She added: “It’s too easy in families to go, ‘I live here and you live there, it’s too hard to visit’. So I said, ‘Come and stay with me’. I decided to make the effort, because you have to, otherwise your family just drifts away.”
Janet explained how her cousins were coming to visit next month before Coleen Noland joked: “I bet they don’t last until the end of July…”
Janet hit back: “I’d like to say if either of my cousins are watching, don’t take any notice of Coleen. She’s bitter and twisted.”
Coleen responded with a laugh before speaking directly to camera: “Actually, phone me. I’ll let you know what you’re in for.”
ITV Loose Women continues to air each weekday on ITV1 from 12.30pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
