Ruth Langsford laughs off savage jibe from co-star amid Loose Women 'feud'
Coleen Nolan couldn't resist making a cheeky dig at one of her Loose Women co-stars during today's edition of the ITV show.
Ruth Langsford was leading the panel during today's discussion, which saw Coleen brand Denise Welch 'a conspiracy theorist' during a passionate chat about the GP crisis facing the NHS.
Not content with taking a swipe at Denise, Coleen also found the time to make Ruth the butt of one of her jokes as the show aired - with Ruth brushing the jibe off and telling the audience not to encourage her.
The awkward exchanges during today's edition of Loose Women come as it's rumoured many of the panellists don't get along when the cameras stop rolling - with Denise breaking her silence on the drama earlier this month.
During today's offering from the panel, Ruth revealed a little off-camera jibe from Coleen.
Adam Thomas says devastating Waterloo Road plot helped him grieve for late dad"Sorry but do you know what she just said to me?" Ruth began telling viewers.
"Glad you could make it in from EasyJet today," she went on to reveal - looking down at her bright orange shirt as she shared the joke.
"Don't encourage her," Ruth pleaded with the audience as they burst into laughter.
Giggling, Coleen declared: "You look lovely!"
Denise denied a feud between herself and her Loose Women co-stars earlier this month, but revealed she's not afraid to be passionate during fiery debates.
The ITV daytime show often sees the regular commentators clash over wide ranging topics, and reports of infighting between the stars have surfaced through the years.
However, Denise is keen to put the rumours to bed. It comes after she hit out at reports of a feud between herself co-star Charlene White over her time with Matt Hancock in the jungle.
In November, Denise appeared to hint on Twitter that she wasn't too happy at seeing Charlene get on with the former health secretary, but she then clarified that she knows "how tricky it is to be that environment".
"I'm not afraid to be passionate and committed about something, we all have different views, we're great friends," she told The Sun.
"I do get upset that people are trying to make out that we're always in some backstage feud."
