Loose Women star Linda Robson has taken aim at her “humourless” colleague Janet Street Porter in a heated row over Boris Johnson.
The panellists appeared on Tuesday’s episode (September 6) of the ITV daytime programme where the topic of whether or not Boris was a good Prime Minister was discussed.
As Janet and Brenda Edwards criticised the recently departed PM, Linda sprang to his defence.

Listing off her view on Boris Johnson’s achievements in post, Linda later bashed Janet for her “humourless stance” on the issue.
Linda said: “And he gave us some laughs on the way too – unlike you, Janet.”
Following the outburst, a stunned Janet replied: “Well thank you, Linda!”
In the wake of Linda’s speech, Janet proceeded to list her own views on Boris’ failings as Prime Minister – including the issues of rising energy bills and the railways “being in meltdown”.
She also criticised the politician for “lying as usual” in his farewell speech outside Downing Street.
Later in the debate, it was revealed that a public poll had discovered that more Loose Women viewers felt Boris had been a bad Prime Minister than a good one.
“That’s because they’ve never met him,” Linda concluded on the back of the results.
She also later remarked that she had only heard of new Prime Minister Liz Truss “last week”.
Unwilling to take more flack from her colleague, Janet quipped: “Is that because she doesn’t live in your postcode, Linda?”
The debate was soon settled by panel moderator Ruth Langsford and the show continued as normal.
Earlier this week, Loose Women resumed filming in front of a live studio audience for the first time in almost two-and-a-half years.
The live studio audience was originally axed in March 2020 in wake of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown.
Loose Women airs from 12.30 pm on weekdays on ITV.
