Loose Women has been on the air since 1999, and recent guest panellists have included Anna Richardson, Chizzy Akudolu and Sharon Osbourne. The show's current anchor presenters are Kaye Adams, Ruth Langsford, Andrea McLean and Christine Lampard. Just last month, Kaye opened up about a recent breast cancer scare in a new video posted on her Facebook page. Telling viewers she had been in a "state of panic" after convincing herself she had found a lump, Kaye said she was told by her doctor there was nothing to worry about. But she went on to say that being overly-cautious about her health had in fact been to her detriment.

"It's great there is increased health awareness and we're much more body conscious. Early detection is clearly really, really important, but, and maybe it's just because I'm a basket case, I fully prepared to admit that, but it just can tip into low grade anxiety, just constantly this low grade anxiety, " she shared. "And I said that to the doctor and he said well you're not the only one. He said: 'We do have people in here who are constantly checking, checking, checking, checking and if you check hard enough you are going to find something.'"
