Loose Women star lands huge new job just days after ITV daytime cull amid cash crisis
LOOSE Women star Judi Love has landed a huge new job just days after ITV announced their daytime cull.
The ITV show’s line-up had been left in the dark about cuts to their lunchtime talk show, which will take effect from January amid a cash crisis.
Sweeping changes announced earlier this month mean the female-led, lunchtime talk show will only air for 30 weeks a year.
So, it’s a good job Judi, 44, has bagged herself a lucrative podcasting gig to keep the cash rolling in.
The comedian announced on Instagram today that the first episode of Our Table will be released tomorrow.
Fellow Loose Woman Charlene White is joining her, along with actor David Gyasi, comedian Michelle Deswarte and actress Deborah Ayorinde.
She wrote: “Our Table will launch on Friday, the 30th, on YouTube and all major podcast platforms!
“We have an exciting series lined up, featuring incredible guests and engaging conversations. Join us at Our Table!! #Ourtable #JudiLove.”
A second post saw the Strictly star posed with her special guests ahead of the series premiere.
The Sun previously revealed how Loose Women is in chaos backstage with some of the stars doing the show “through gritted teeth” as they face a 60 per cent pay cut.
An insider told us: “It’s very tense backstage as the cast are all fuming. It’s like they’re putting on a brave face and doing the show through gritted teeth.
“Some people’s pay could be cut by 60% as some get paid by the episode and they’ll be slashed next year.
“For some it’s their main source of income and it’s worrying to everyone.”
This comes after an ITV source revealed: “We are not planning any radical changes to the panel.
“All of our Loose Women are hugely valued and we celebrate each and every one and the experience and opinions they bring to the show every day.
“Many of our long standing panellists have appeared on the show for the majority of its 25 year run on screens and those stalwart, Loose legends are at the core of the show’s success and hugely popular with the audience.
“The show remains a big priority within our daytime slate, having secured a BAFTA nomination, launched a podcast and celebrated a milestone anniversary in the last year alone.”
MORE ITV CUTS
Loose Women isn’t the only show affected by recently announced changes at ITV, that will come into play in 2026.
Lorraine Kelly’s show has been cut to just 30 minutes a day and will also only air for 30 weeks of the year.
Good Morning Britain, with hosts including Susanna Reid, Ed Balls and Kate Garraway, will take half an hour from Lorraine and will run from 6am to 9.30am.
More than 220 jobs will be lost as part of the shake-up — almost half of the 450 employed on the four flagship shows GMB, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women.
ITV's daytime TV schedule changes in full
Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily.
Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.
During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am.
This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year.
Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.
The changes will take effect from January 2026.
