Loose Women stars locked in furious clash over giving junk food to kids

Loose Women stars Brenda Edwards and Linda Robson were locked in a furious clash today as they debated junk food.

The panellists - which also included Kelle Bryan and Coleen Nolan - sat down at the start of the show today to discuss a range of topics, including if children as young as two should have diet coaches as the world tries to tackle obesity.

During their chat, Linda was asked what she thought about kids having a wide variety of foods, including burgers, fizzy drinks and sweets. She revealed her kids weren't keen on her feeding her grandkids food with high sugar and fat, but she admitted to sneaking them a little bit of a burger or the remnants of a fizzy drink when they were with her.

Brenda was horrified by Linda's admission, saying she thought it was a bad idea to give her grandkids even a small bit of a fizzy drink.

Linda then went to clarify it was hardly any, before insisting she broke off the corner of a McDonald's breakfast for them but would never give them the whole thing, or she would give them just a small bit of Coke or other fizzy drinks.

Her co-star seemed unimpressed, shaking her head at the idea.

Back in 2021, Linda recalled the heart stopping moment she realised that she had forgotten to pick up her grandchildren from school.

The debate was sparked by a topic of conversation on Loose Women today

Opening up about what happened, she explained: "In my head I was picking them up at 3:45. But at 3:15 I was indoors. I had just got out the bath, I was getting dressed because I was going to a premiere last night and I got a phone call from Lauren going 'Why aren't you at the school? You were supposed to be picking them up at 3:15!'

"I went into panic mode and I couldn't get anyone to give me a lift so I had to run to the school, and I'm not the fittest woman in the world. I was legging it up the road, crying on my way there."

She added: "I was thinking 'Oh my god, they're gonna be standing in the playground on their own, no one's there, it's freezing cold.'"

However, when she arrived, the kids were being looked after by the school and were fine.
