Loose Women has made a huge set change for their 25th anniversary, with Rylan Clark describing it as “the end of an era”.

The popular ITV daytime show has been on our screens since September 1999 and this week will celebrate its 25th anniversary.

To mark the occasion, a new set of sliding doors has been erected right behind the panel, which panellists will walk out from ahead of every episode.

On Monday’s episode panellists Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan, Dame Kelly Holmes and Brenda Edwards were the first to experience the set change.

A behind-the-scenes post on the official Loose Women Instagram account shows the panellists being briefed by a staffer on their new entrance.

“We’ve got a new opening, we’ve got a new entrance,” Ruth tells the camera. “And so we’re now being taught how to walk. I need it! But there is a gap there so we might get our shoes caught.”

With Ruth and Coleen both wearing high-heels, Coleen quickly says: “Well me and you will.” The camera then pans to Kelly and Brenda, who can be seen wearing trainers, which they are rather proud about considering what they have just been told.

“And mind the step up,” Coleen tells Ruth. “Step up and the step down. One day, this is going to be on It’ll Be Alright on the Night.”

Brenda then attempts to get her fellow panellists into the spirit. “Come on girls! I mean, nobody else wants to pump it up,” she says.

After successfully walking through the sliding doors and taking their seats, Ruth thanks the crowd before saying: “That is our first ever entrance through the big doors. I was really nervous. I thought, ‘Don’t fall over!’”

The Instagram post which showed the behind-the-scenes clip has been liked more than 8,000 times while a number of people have taken to the comments. Among the people to comment was Rylan Clark, who simply said: “The end of an era!”
Loose Women has definitely stepped up their game for their 25th anniversary with the new set change.

The addition of the sliding doors for the panellists to make their entrance certainly adds a new level of excitement to the show.

It’s refreshing to see the panellists embracing the change and having fun with it, especially with the banter about potential mishaps with high heels and steps.

The behind-the-scenes glimpse into how the panellists are adjusting to the new entrance is not only entertaining but also gives viewers a sense of the camaraderie amongst the hosts. It’s these little moments that make the show so endearing to its audience.

Ruth’s nerves about not falling over during the entrance are relatable and highlight the human side of the hosts. The candid moments captured in the Instagram post offer a genuine look at what goes on behind the scenes of a live daytime show.

It’s clear that the team at Loose Women is dedicated to providing quality entertainment for their viewers, and the set change is just one example of their commitment to keeping things fresh and engaging. Cheers to 25 years of great conversations and more exciting changes to come!
