Loose Women under fire today as viewers complain about nit segment

"I'm itching like mad now"

Loose Women viewers weren’t happy today over a segment about nits.

Kaye Adams, Sunetra Sarker, Nadia Sawalha and Judi Love made up the panel for Friday’s show as they discussed many subjects.

However, one segment saw them discuss whether the ‘nit nurse’ should be brought back.

Kaye admitted: “I know you already think I’m weird but I loved taking nits out of my kids’ hair.”

She then demonstrated how she would do it, explaining: “You would get really cheap conditioner, you slick it back and then you go through it.

“I loved just scraping it off and I would see them all. If I got a lot of them I would go ‘yeah!'”

Sunetra then revealed her mum’s method – which was doing it with her hands!

She said: “She would just wet your hair and she’d go through with her fingers one by one and crunch with her back of her fingernails!”

Nadia exclaimed: “You must have been there days!”

Sunetra admitted: “I remember just losing the will to live,” before doing the sounds of her mum ‘crunching’ the nits.

But things took a turn when Kaye brought on a glass containing nits!

Sunetra asked: “Who is keeping nits?! I come to work and I don’t expect to be faced with a jar of nits!”

A close-up was then shown of a few nits.

Kaye said: “I’m very proud of us for getting live nits. They were provided by hair force clinics.”

They even played a game called ‘Nit or Not’ where they had to answer questions about nits.
