Who is on Loose Women today? It's often a question we ask ourselves, as weekday TV wouldn't be the same without the regular daily fix of ITV daytime show Loose Women.

Those who have ITV switched on all morning will have the benefit of tuning in to Lorraine, followed by This Morning and then Loose Women for bumper episodes featuring celebrity guests, the latest news, and fashion plus cookery segments.

The lunchtime chat show is currently in its 10th season, after launching in 1999. It features a rotating panel that is made up of women from the entertainment and journalism worlds who discuss issues from a female perspective. Among the topics regularly covered are politics, current affairs, and the latest gossip. They are joined in the studio daily by celebrity guests and faces behind the headlines.

Loose Women scooped Best Daytime Programme at the RTS awards and if you're wondering who is on Loose Women today, fear not as we have the answers...
