Although Christine pressed on with gentle insistence, commenting: “No! Penny, I’m not moving on until you tell me what you do. I can imagine your house just smelling gorgeous.”
Eventually, Penny caved and divulged her passion for hosting, revealing: “I think as far as making time for your friends and family, we’re all so busy in our lives so when we do make the time to invite someone over, I do like to create an atmosphere.”

“So, a streaming platform like is going to throw money at something, you expect it’s going to be original, fresh, exciting, revelatory. Sadly, and I’m only speaking from my own personal experience, it was none of these things.”
“It’s beautifully shot, she looks amazing, she’s in loads of cream line. I mean, who wears cream-lined when they are cooking? But anyway, she looks great, it’s beautifully shot, a lot of money has clearly been spent on it. But whisper it, it’s boring, I just found it boring.”
With Love, Meghan is available to stream on . Loose Women continues weekdays on ITV from 12:30pm.
