Taking to social media, one fan penned: "That was weird #loosewomen." Another added: "wtf was that? #loosewomen."

However, it wasn't long before today's host Jane Moore walked out of the sliding doors alongside panelists Mariella Frostrup, Kelly Brook and Sunetra Sarker.

Jane quickly kicked off the programme by discussing the latest news headlines and conformed that Kelsey Parker would be joining them in the studio.

It comes after the announcement that a special episode of Loose Women will air next month to mark World Mental Health Day.

The one-off instalment will celebrate the power of music and the impact it can have on us all.

Airing on Thursday, October 9, Loose Women: The Music will feature panellists Coleen Nolan, Kelle Bryan, Brenda Edwards, Myleene Klass and Oti Mabuse.

The ladies will be opening up on the ways that music has shaped their lives and helped them navigate some of their milestone moments and memories.

A statement confirming the news read: "Throughout the show, from 12.30pm on ITV1 and STV, Coleen, Kelle and Brenda will take to the stage to perform the songs that are closest to their hearts.

"Viewers will also be treated to a show-stopping rumba from Oti Mabuse, and Myleene Klasswill accompany the ladies as she showcases her musical talents on the piano."

In a new promo for the episode, Brenda can be heard calling music "a universal language", with Myleene saying it "touches your soul" and Kelle stating that "music has always been a part" of her life.

It has been confirmed that Loose Women will airfor just 30 weeks of the year in 2026, rather than airing every single week of the year as it normally does.

The big changes at ITV will also see Lorraine reduced to just 30 minutes and also only airing for 30 weeks a year.

Good Morning Britain is being extended by half an hour, cutting into Lorraine Kelly’s talk show’s traditional 9am start.
