Loose Women viewers were left 'shaking in their seats' following Tuesday's instalment of the ITV programme.
As the Loose Women panel - headed by Ruth Langsford - welcomed viewers to the first episode of the panel show this year, she was joined by Carol McGiffin, Brenda Edwards, and Kelle Bryan.
After discussing Prince William's upcoming bombshell ITV interview, the Loose Women went on to discuss childcare and the workplace after one woman sparked controversy this week when she admitted that she was planning on caring for her toddler while working from home.

As the two TV stars got into the discussion, things became more and more heated until Brenda was forced to clap back at Carol after she assumed that her Loose Women co-star had made a dig at her parenting skills as she juggled her career alongside it.

"I worked very successfully with my two children working alongside me and along with them. And if you monitor things - the work that has got to be done - then there's no other people that will have to take up any slack," Brenda argued.
"Nobody had to take up the slack for me. I did my work and I took great pride in that," she added before Carol interrupted.
Brenda clapped back at Carol (ITV)"Yeah, but don't take it so personally Brenda," Carol said.
But her reply didn't go down well with Brenda who raised her voice after Carol's comment.
"I'm the one who picked up the slack. I never had special treatment from anyone. It's hard not to take things personally when you say things like that."
"Omg I'm shaking in my seat after that Loose Women row! I'm sorry but I agree with everything Carol said," one viewer tweeted.
Brenda was less than impressed (ITV)"WELL there must be something in the water on Loose Women today.... Carol and Brenda clearly don't like one another," someone else suggested.
A third person tweeted: "Cringing so hard at Loose Women," while someone else shared: "LOOSE WOMEN is better than any drama show today!!! That row."
"I have to agree with Brenda, being a mum is hard and juggling it with work is even more difficult. Carol doesn't know what she's talking about really," someone else complained.
