ITV has announced that Loose Women & Men is back, with a new episode airing next Thursday.
Regular panelists Judi Love, 43, and Denise Welch, 65, are joined in the studio by Love Island’s Iain Stirling, 35, and Good Morning Britain’s Richard Madeley, 67.
The panel promises to have plenty of laughs over lunch as they debate and discuss the hottest topics of the day.
Ahead of the daytime talk show, Denise shared that she’s excited to “mix it up” with “two generations of the modern man” sharing their thoughts on the topics.
The former Coronation Street actress said: ‘We’re thrilled to be combining it with a special Loose Women & Men episode, it’ll be a hoot when we’re all on a panel together!

‘It’ll be a hoot!’ Regular panellists Judi Love, 43, and Denise Welch, 65, are joined in the studio by Love Island’s Iain Stirling, 35, and Good Morning Britain’s Richard Madeley, 67
“Richard and Iain are two generations of the modern man and we can’t wait to hear their takes on some classic Loose topics in the studio.”
The special episode comes after Loose Women viewers called for Loose Men to become a regular feature of the show, following an all-male panel on the show last year.
The ITV series features the occasional male panel with Andi Peters, Jordan Banjo, Ore Oduba and Shaun Wallace in an episode last year.
The all-black panel – which appeared last October during Black History Month – discussed issues such as body dysmorphia and the last time they cried during the episode, with many viewers calling for men to appear on the program more often.
One viewer said: ‘#LooseMen should be a regular weekly agenda. Maybe once a week men’s opinions/perspectives count too!’
Another wrote: ‘#LooseMen should show up for me every day please.. much better God love them xx’.
One viewer added: ‘Loving #LooseMen today. I wish we could have this show every Friday or one night a week so that guys could continue to have conversations, so they had a place to have them.”
Another wrote: ‘ITV should definitely make #LooseMen a regular thing, I love it!’

It comes as the Loose Women continued their UK tour last Wednesday when they took to the stage in Newcastle with Denise, Linda Robson, Jane Moore and Charlene White leading the panel.
Denise took the stage and pouted at the audience as her co-stars sat on the desk in martini glasses.
Jane, 61, went for gold in a dazzling glitter dress and platforms, while Linda, 65, meant business in a velvet suit with a glitter top.
Charlene, 43, was a far cry from her news presenter look as she stunned in a green sequin dress with a dramatic black bow at the neck and a slash at the leg.
Linda and Charlene gave an energetic performance as they danced around the stage together laughing before the group posed together backstage.
Meanwhile, Frankie Bridge and Christine Lampard put on a sensational performance as they led the way on the Loose Women Live Tour on Friday.
The former singer of The Saturdays, 34, and TV presenter, 44, both opted for black for the trendy event at The Opera House Theater in Manchester.
The pair caused a storm when they were mobbed for selfies and autographs as they left the Opera House Theater in Manchester.
