The Loose Women cast was outraged at Janet Street Porter proudly proclaimed that she had top tip survival skills and wouldn’t think twice when it came to finding food in the wild.
Speaking about the new Channel 4 programme Alone which see’s hopefuls going solo in the wilderness at a chance of winning the £100,000 prize fund, Janet, 76, looked down the barrel of the camera and said: “If they do a celebrity show I want to be on it.”

She added: “I have no issue with going it alone, this is my kind of show. I have skinned birds and I have eaten road kill,” to which she was interrupted by shrieks from her disapproving co-stars.
Hosts Coleen Nolan and Judi Love were unable to hide their disgust as they shot disapproving glances in Janet’s direction.
Last month, fans of the former journalist lunged to Janet’s social media profile to heap support after she’d opened up about a frightening encounter.
Taking to Twitter, the TV personality explained that she’d been left in “shock” after a man driving a “grey Golf” in Kent hurled abuse at her unexpectedly.
The frightened star penned: “I went for a quiet walk by the sea in Kent this afternoon. A car suddenly drove up behind me, the man behind the wheel screamed I HATE YOU, WE ALL HATE YOU, YOU ARE STUPID and when I tried walk away he turned round and spat out YOU WILL GO DOWN. He’s driving a grey Golf.”
She added: “I am ok, but it was a bit of a shock. I don’t know a single person who would get pleasure from driving up to a woman walking by herself on a quiet road by the sea and shouting abuse at her. But maybe I haven’t lived!”
