Loose Women's Ruth Langsford tells co-star Coleen Nolan 'never liked you - and still don't'

The stars of Loose Women erupted into laughter after Ruth Langsford made a savage joke about one of her co-stars by saying that she ‘never liked you’.

Ruth was joined by fellow panelists Coleen Nolan, Brenda Edwards and Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor on Monday (9 October) for a chat about first impressions following the return of Big Brother.

The new housemates were forced to make some pretty massive decisions based on their initial reactions to each other, with poor Jenkin having to watch as his suitcase was blown up after the housemates chose that fate for him.

Reflecting on the first episode of the 2023 series, Ruth, who led the discussion, explained that people inadvertently judge others when they first meet.

“It's natural human instinct to make a first impression. It just is - even if you try not to." she said.

"Naturally, the minute you meet someone - whether it's about their eye contact, their smile, whether they ask something about yourself. Whatever that interaction is, we will make a first impression.”

The women weighed in on the topic, with Sally explaining how she felt ‘really giddy’ when she first joined the show while Coleen admitted to feeling nervous in front of an audience.

She then went on to explain that when she first met Ruth, she thought the former This Morning presenter was ‘stuck up’ and Ruth responded by claiming that she thought Coleen was ‘too loud’.

Coleen replied by stating that she has ‘got a point’ before Ruth told the audience: “All of us have talked about our insecurities.

“When you think now, every situation that you're in public with people that you don't know - everyone in that same room is having the same feelings. You think you're the only one, but you're not - so it is interesting.”

Ruth then threw another funny jab, declaring: “Never liked you, though. Still don't,” before Coleen hit back with: “Well, we've got that in common. Touché!”

The hilarious exchange unfolded after Coleen recently spoke about the rumours of the Loose Women set being ‘toxic’.

“I think it's very sad because it seems to be a lot of women bashing other women,” she told the Daily Mirror.

“They go on about 'Oh it's toxic', it's been running for 24 years or something, if it was that toxic, trust me, being the person I am, I wouldn't be there.”
