Loose Women's Charlene White has spilled the beans about a cheeky habit of one her co-stars during live broadcasts of the popular ITV show.
Speaking on Caroline Hirons' Glad We Had This Chat podcast, Charlene revealed that one of her fellow panellists often passes her 'secret' notes while they're on air. She said: "Denise [Welch] does a really naughty thing, which I adore her for.
"We'll be having a discussion about something or other and she'll just be writing something on a piece of paper and slip it over to me live on air." The contents of these notes, according to Charlene, are usually inappropriate bits of gossip that leave her struggling to maintain her composure.
She added: "I might glance down at it and it will be some inappropriate bit of gossip that she really shouldn't be telling me, and then I've got to keep a straight face and I'm like hmmm, and then carry on talking meanwhile I can see her internally absolutely killing herself laughing."
Alongside this revelation, Charlene also shared how she made her transition into chat show TV, telling Caroline: "My entire career has sort of been me sat there going 'what do I want to do? I want to do this' and then I'll figure out a way to do it."
The ITV news presenter also shared her journey to becoming a part of Loose Women. She explained: "I have wanted to do Loose Women for a while, and so, I'd been pushing it for a while, and that pushing finally came off four years ago when I was invited in for a meeting and we had a bit of a chat and they liked what I had to say.
"I just think it's one of the most incredible shows I've ever worked on."
In addition to her roles on Loose Women and presenting ITV news, she made headlines in November 2022 as the first celebrity to be voted out of I'm A Celebrity.
