Loose Women today: Fans defend panelists after flood of complaints

During Thursday’s episode of Loose Women (February 23), Brenda returned to the panel to mark the first anniversary of her son’s death.

The presenters were all wearing blue, which was his favourite colour, out of respect for Jamal and to show their support to Brenda.

Charlene said: “One year from his passing, we’re celebrating Brenda’s son Jamal and blue was his favourite colour.

“He was the entrepreneur who launched the careers of Ed Sheeran, Jessie J and countless others and today. Brenda and her daughter Tanisha will be paying tribute to a special son and brother.”

However, some viewers took issue with the fact it was an all-black panel today and headed straight to social media to vent their rage.

‘Sick to death of these type of comments’

Taking to Twitter, many outraged fans defended the Loose Women ladies and slammed the vile comments, which ED! won’t repeat.

Poking fun at the trolls, one viewer wrote: “#LooseWomen Ofcom must be busy.”

Another fan said: “I am disgusted and sick to death of these type of comments. All because it’s an all-black panel today.”

Someone else replied to a racist tweet saying: “[Bleep] off you racist #LooseWomen.”

Another also pointed out: “It was all-white, blonde women yesterday for God’s sake. Get a grip.”
