Loose Women star Charlene White praised her ITV co-stars as she gushed about their incredible friendship.

The 43-year-old newsreader joined the panel of the ITV daytime show in 2021 and is regularly seen guiding the conversation as the main host on the show. Over the years, there have been rumours about the panellists feuding behind the scenes but Charlene slammed the claims as she discussed the care they have for each other.

Speaking exclusively to Mirror Online at the MOBO Awards 2024, Charlene discussed what it is really like working on the programme. She said: “It’s a bunch of mates having a laugh. A lot of times they cut back to the studio after an ad break and we’re all still laughing… I’m lucky to work with an incredible bunch of women.

“We all have fun… Every morning we have our meeting together, it’s a room full of joy and laughter… It’s a room full of friendship and a room full of compassion, we care a lot about each other.”

Charlene recently opened up about the show and said she’s ‘loved’ the three years she’s had on the show. Speaking to Women’s Own, she admitted she was thrilled to recently welcome Love Island’s Olivia Attwood and model Christine McGuinness to the panel.

And she was also glad that her new personal friend, Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver, has been added to the lineup of rotating panellists. The pair bonded when they both took part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2022. And Charlene has credited herself for bringing 60-year-old Sue into the Loose Women fold.

She said: “When we came out of the jungle a year ago, I said to Sue, ‘I think you will fly if you join our Loose Women panel,’ and look at her now. She’s on tomorrow as a panellist and she fills in every now and then, which is incredible.”

Looking to the future, Charlene predicts a bright future for the lunchtime show. She gushed: “I feel like I work with some of the best women in the business who I learn from every single day. And what’s amazing is, we’re always inserting people to our stable, which means we’re learning so much about each other, and they’re still learning about us. I think what we do is brilliant and I’m really proud of what we do every day.”
