Kaye Adams reveals Loose Women was only meant to be a pilot
Loose Women's Kaye Adams has revealed some exciting news about the show's upcoming 25th anniversary. In September, the ITV daytime programme will celebrate its significant milestone with a host of surprises for viewers, including the comeback of former anchor Andrea McLean.
The 61-year-old star made her first appearance on James Martin's Saturday Morning on August 10, where the chef questioned her about her experience as a panellist on the all-female show. Kaye shared: "Yeah, I think it was myself, Nadia Sawalha and Jane Moore were on the first programme in 1999."
James queried: "When you were doing that sort of show, did you think 'this is something really special here' because nothing else was like that.She responded: "It's funny you should say that because it was initially a month's pilot and it was September time. It's a time a year when television executives get funny ideas for weird programmes but actually, if i'm very honest, I thought 'do you know what I think we might be onto something', reports the Mirror.

"Over the past two decades, Loose Women has become a mainstay in the ITV schedule and last week, the show made history as TikTok sensation GK Barry became the first guest panelist who was born in the same year it started.
Kate couldn't resist pointing out that co-star Frankie Bridge was no longer the youngest on the team. Throughout the show, Faye and fellow panelist Denise Welch make humorous quips about 35 year old Frankie's age, with Frankie seemingly getting riled up with the comparisons.
Andrea McLean is set for a much-anticipated return to Loose Women, four years after her departure. The celebrated presenter took time away from the limelight to develop her wellness app 'This Girl Is On Fire,' and to focus on her 'Mastering Midlife' podcast alongside her husband, Nick Feeney.

Co-host Christine Lampard warmly remarked, "You've been such a fabric and part of the DNA of the show over all those years, so it's going to be a celebration, I think, of Loose Women... it will feel very special to be part of that".
