Loose Women's Frankie Bridge 'hit in the face' as game takes a turn just as credits roll

Frankie Bridge was left fuming and chasing colleague Ruth Langsford around the studio after a game at the end of Thursday's Loose Women took a turn and resulted in her being hit in the face.

Former singer in The Saturdays and I'm A Celebrity finalist Frankie Bridge joined Ruth on the panel as the ITV show had a bit of a shake-up for its second to last episode of the week. Not only did Stephen Bartlett and Mark Wright join the panel, but the opening titles revealed a name change for the programme, with it carrying the title Loose Women and Men.

Stephen and Mark were on Loose Women to promote this Sunday's Soccer Aid match, with the two stars on opposing teams for the fundraising fixture in aid of UNICEF. After they gave their input to a range of discussion topics, ranging from health to relationships, there was some friendly competition between the two men when they took part in a penalty shoot out.

As Stephen and Mark stepped up to take their spot kicks, it was Frankie who was put in goal, with two giant keeper gloves giving her a better change of keeping their shots out. She didn't fair too well in goal, although she did fair better once they were forced to wear blindfolds to take the pens.

After host Ruth drew the show to a close, she got up from behind the panel to have a go at taking a penalty herself, but, while her effort was definitely on target, it flew straight at Frankie and struck her in the face as Stephen and Mark looked on. Realising what she'd done, Ruth quickly put her hand over her mouth as Frankie shrieked: "Right in my face!!!!"

Frankie then charged from between the goal posts and onto the studio floor, chasing after Ruth, shouting: "Literally right in the face!"
