Fans of Loose Women are growing concerned long-term favourite Nadia Sawalha could be about to quit the lunchtime ITV show. The presenter took to social media to share a cryptic upload which left viewers wondering about her future.
The 60-year-old star has been a fan favourite since her arrival as part of the original lineup in the late nineties. She initially quit the show in 2002 after giving birth to her first child Maddie, now 22. She returned in 2013 and has been entertaining viewers ever since.
However, her time could soon be up, if followers are reading between the lines correctly. She uploaded a brief clip to Instagram of herself walking down the corridor of the Loose Women dressing rooms. Captioning the post, she wrote: "It’s ok to walk away .. but give a little smile as you do … because soon enough you will realise …that you only thought you weren’t strong enough … because you were using all your strength to stay."
"Oh no, are you leaving LW," one user wrote with a stunned face emoji. Another added: "Sounds like you are Leaving Loose Women I hope not."

A third penned: "Don’t tell me you’re leaving the loose women," with a fourth saying: "If it’s what I’m thinking, I’m so with you and knew you must have been finding it so verryyy jarring at times."
In 2023, Nadia had to refute rumours of a feud with her Loose Women co-stars. She shared the truth about her relationship with her ITV co-stars at the time and admitted people "always expect" them to argue behind closed doors.
At the time, the host said they all get on "so, so well" behind the scenes, but agreed things can seem "a bit heated" when they're on the daytime show. The show often sees the group of panellists clash over a wide range of topics. It has led to reports of infighting between the stars have surfaced throughout the years.
However, Nadia said at the time: "There is no feud - I think it's that thing where people always expect women must be arguing, we honestly get on so well."
Throughout her time on the show, Nadia has entertained viewers with her stories. In January, she left her fellow panellists in shock when she admitted that she likes to snoop around people's houses and 'steal' plasters from their bathroom cabinets.
Speaking about bathrooms on the show, Nadia admitted that she likes to look through people's bathroom cupboards.
She said: "Me and Kaye, because we have these weird similarities, we both love a root around somebody else's cupboard," she admitted. "I love having a look. You open thinks like verruca care, wart care.
"I'm looking that if I've made a diagnosis about a certain condition, I can see that the medication is in there and I know I was right. I love it!"
