Loose Women panelist Charlene White offered a brutal snub at her ITV co-star Lorraine Kelly during a stint on BBC programme Would I Lie To You?
Charlene, 43, was tasked with coming up with a fib about a ‘mystery guest’, Michael, who appeared on the show. Along with captain Lee Mack and comedian Sam Campbell, each star had to convince the opposing team that they had a genuine connection to the guest – but two were lying.
Though Charlene’s story did turn out to be untrue, her Lorraine snub certainly wasn’t – despite prodding from host Rob Brydon. She began telling a story that Michael had had to apply butter to her finger when she tried on Lorraine’s wedding ring and it got stuck.

She explained: “During the show I was looking at her ring, and it’s so beautiful – I can’t say how beautiful her ring is. Gold band, with a shedload of diamonds in the middle.”
Rob questioned her: “And is Lorraine a dear friend of yours?” as Charlene replied: “Well I’ve been on her show a couple of times. I wouldn’t say that we’re besties.”
Rob interjected: “She’s lovely, isn’t she?” – but Charlene refused to reply, as he quipped: “Oh, when I say she’s lovely you ignore it. Interesting!” Charlene collapsed into giggles – but also didn’t deny it. Instead she carried on with her fib.
She said: “I popped into her dressing room to say thank you and I was looking at her ring again, and she said, ‘Do you want to have a try?’ I was quite swollen so I put it on and I couldn’t get it off. Michael is one of our floor managers – in the same room where we have our debrief, there’s a fridge in there. I was in a panic, [Michael] heard me struggling.”

Sadly the story turned out to be a complete fabrication – and Michael was instead proven as the man teaching Lee Mack how to mend watches.
It’s not the first rumours of a feud surrounding the Loose Women team – but Charlene has denied all speculation. She told The Sun last year: “There is no feud at all, it’s such a lazy thing to sort of say that a group of women together, there must be animosity.

“It’s not like that at all, it’s a lot of love and a lot of heart and a lot of respect among us.” Nadia Sawalha also confirmed: “There is no feud – I think it’s that thing where people always expect women must be arguing, we honestly get on so well.”
Denise Welch says she “hasn’t fallen out with any of them in 20 years” but admitted they have “feisty debates” on the panel show – as they’re all “set in their ways”.
