‘Sounds like you are Leaving Loose Women I hope not.’,

‘Don’t tell me you’re leaving the loose women.’,

‘If it’s what I’m thinking, I’m so with you and knew you must have been finding it so verryyy jarring at times.’ 

Back in 2023 Nadia squashed Loose Women ‘feud’ rumours as she admitted there is no bad blood between her fellow co-stars once the cameras stop. 

She revealed they all ‘get on so well’ despite having heated debates on the ITV show and being known for clashing over topics.  

The long-term panellist insisted there is no tension between the stars and they even have a laugh backstage together and in the ad breaks. 

Nadia told The Sun: ‘There is no feud – I think it’s that thing where people always expect women must be arguing, we honestly get on so well.

‘When the audience are there and they see it get a bit heated, they will see us literally finish a topic and then go into the commercial break and then go “can I have one of your crisps”…we just laugh it off backstage.’

Nadia revealed the ITV daytime stars actually share an ‘intense’ friendship and bond because they share their ‘own experiences and own thoughts’ on the show and in meetings which has made them closer.

She continued: ‘I absolutely love being part of the panel, to know people over such a long period of time and the intensity. In our meetings there is no show until we’ve had a meeting – the show comes from our own experiences, our own thoughts, so to have an intensity of a friendship is incredible.’

Nadia gushed how she has made ‘great friends’ on the show and ‘never in a million years of had a friend like Kay Adams and Jane Moore’ if she hadn’t of joined because they would ‘never have come across each other’.

It came after Denise Welch hit back at rumours of a feud with her Loose Women co-stars earlier that month. 

Speaking to The Sun, she insisted that despite some ‘feisty debates’ on air, there is no ‘backstage feud’.

‘I’m not afraid to be pᴀssionate and committed about something, we all have different views, we’re great friends,’ she explained.

‘I do get upset that people are trying to make out that we’re always in some backstage feud.’

She added: ‘I haven’t fallen out with any of them in 20 years – but we have very feisty debates.’

It was reported in August 2020 that Denise had unfollowed Coleen Nolan after her manager branded Nadia ‘nasty’ and a ‘witch’. 

However, she is now following her co-star again.
