Loose Women has been on air for 25 years this year
Loose Women is celebrating 25 years on air, and to mark the huge occasion, the panellists have appeared in a stunning new photo.
Going with a silver theme, the women were all seen smiling at the camera in a range of glamorous full-length gowns.
Huge names such as Denise Welch, Nadia Sawalha, Kelle Bryan and Judi Love took centre-stage in the picture. But one major face was missing from the line-up, as panellist Stacey Solomon was not included in the photoshoot.
Stacey has been very busy in recent months, as she has been filming her restoration show, and even won a National Television Award for it.
She has also been spending a lot of time with her five children, and has been juggling having three under five with husband Joe Swash.

Stacey also dropped a huge hint she would be taking a step back from her work commitments, as she wrote on social media: “A few things have happened over this year & for us as a family it just feels right me to let go and focus a bit more of myself on our family. It won’t just be in the style. I have been re thinking lots of things.”
She added: “I feel so lucky & grateful to have been able to live out what I can only describe as my wildest dreams, and that’s just such a huge privilege. One I’ll never take for granted & certainly never forget. But it’s time for a change and a new focus.”
It came after she announced she was stepping back from her role at clothing company In The Sale, telling fans: “Today has been a wonderful but emotional day as I shot my LAST EVER collection for InTheStyle.
“I have loved every single second of being able to design & create clothing with the most incredible team & literally bring my dreams to life.”

Meanwhile, the other Loose Women were quick to share their love for the show, as Linda said: “If I wake up in the morning and I’m going to Loose Women then I am so happy because I know I’m going to work with my friends all day.”
Christine Lampard said about joining the line-up: “”I’d watched Loose Women for years. It had always been that kind of company at home and they asked me, I actually couldn’t quite believe my luck.”
Loose Women editor Sally Shelford said: “Over the last 25 years, Loose Women has tackled taboos and talked about issues not openly discussed on television, including domestic abuse, menopause, miscarriage and grief. Our incredible audience – in the studio and at home – have always been the fifth Loose Woman, and we promise to keep talking, sharing and shining a light on important subjects like these for our amazing viewers.:
