Coleen Nolan had an 'urgent' request for anyone watching Wednesday's Loose Women, ahead of big changes being made on the show from the start of next week.
While she wasn't actually sitting on the panel for the latest episode of the ITV lunchtime talk show, long-standing star Coleen did appear during one of the ad breaks with a message for fans of the show who wanted to be in the studio audience, as the show welcomes one back for the first time in over two years.
Other popular ITV shows like Saturday Night Takeaway, Britain's Got Talent, The Chase and Dancing On Ice have all had audiences back already this year but, Loose Women bosses have held off letting an audience back into the studio, until now. At the height of Covid restrictions, limits were even put on how many people could be on the panel for any given show, with one of the Loose Women having to join in the discussion via video call from their home every day.

But normal service will be resumed from early September, when avid fans can join in the action in the studio and have an opportunity to meet the panellists, which on Wednesday included host Jane Moore, Janet Street Porter, Kelle Bryan and Sophie Morgan.
Issuing a plea for viewers to apply for audience tickets in her call to action, Coleen said: "It' been two long years, but we've missed you and we want to see your faces right here. That's right, we are bringing our live studio audience back. We've got big guests and all tour favourite panellists. All we need is you."
To apply to be in the Loose Women audience, head to the show's website. When Christjne Lampard first announced plans to welcome an audience back a few weeks ago, there was so much interest in the free tickets that the Loose Women website crashed within minutes.
