Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha admitted on the ITV show she was 'ashamed' of something she did while her daughter was younger.
Loose Women's Nadia Sawalha revealed with remorse that she once left her daughter in the care of someone unfamiliar.
On Tuesday's episode, the ITV show's panellists discussed the guilt they felt over times when they left their children with people they hardly knew.
Nadia shared her regret, commenting: "I am so ashamed to say that when Maddie was about two years old, we went to Argentina.
"We went to Iguazú Falls; they say if you look at Niagara Falls, that's like a tap compared to the Iguazu Falls, right? We'd gone off trekking with this guide, Maddie, on Mark's back."
Speaking of the naive mistake, she continued: "He said, 'Oh, do you want to try the boat?' We were like, yeah let's try the boat, new parents. We gave our child to this guide that we did not know, we're up a mountain."
She vividly remembered: "He's got her on his back, and we were on a boat, waving as we headed towards the biggest waterfall you've ever seen."
Reminiscing how it affects her now, Nadia confessed that her daughter, now in her 20s, questions the decision as she asks: "Did you not love me then?"
Defending their actions, the Loose Women star clarified: "We did! It's just we didn't think. It was a moment of madness! You could hear me screaming as I headed towards the falls because I thought, 'What have I done?!'"
But Nadia wasn't alone as Ruth Langsford also relayed how she entrusted her son Jack to a hotel babysitter while abroad, reports Belfast Live.
She recounted: "We were in a villa in a hotel complex and they offered a babysitting service. One evening, we decided that we'd use the babysitting service and a lovely girl turned up.
"I said, 'Hello' and she said, 'Oh, I'm Maria' or whatever her name was, had books with her for studying and we said, 'Ok, we're just down there, here's my number, Jack never wakes up' We came back and everything was fine, he was asleep."
However, Ruth admitted that it later dawned on her that she could've returned to the complex only to find Jack missing, without having any information about the babysitter.
She further noted: "I didn't check who she was, I didn't have a password, it was just, this hotel has sent this babysitter."
Loose Women is available to watch on ITVX.
