Charlene White was given a ‘warning’ on Loose Women today by her co-star.

The ITV news presenter and Loose Women panellist was leading the show today, where she discussed timekeeping with the other three panellists – Coleen Nolan, Brenda Edwards and EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy. As they chatted about anxiety around keeping time, Natalie admitted she was there for the show really early – whilst Charlene said she showed up late.

That led to Charlene being ‘reprimanded’ by one of her colleagues, who joked that she she should be given a “warning” for turning up late to the show. Coleen then admitted she finds it annoying when people are late for work due to things in their control, before Charlene continued to insist that her reason for being late wasn’t in her control.

Meanwhile, earlier in the show, Charlene and the panel celebrated her birthday, which she spent camping.

Speaking about her special surprise, she said: “This is 44. And I ended up camping for it. Which is VERY unlike me! Thanks for all the really lovely birthday messages, DM’s, calls, texts, Stories etc. yesterday!

“I’ve had zero signal for days, as my birthday fell on the same weekend as Alfie’s class camping trip. And it turns out the reception is rubbish in the countryside. The wonderful parents in Alfie’s class and Andy threw a surprise birthday party for me yesterday afternoon, complete with decorations, presents, and my favourite drink. There were 24 families on the trip so it was quite an undertaking, and I’m super thankful. And the sun even shone. Woo-hoo!”

Charlene previously opened up about working with the Loose Women panel. She told The Mirror: “It’s a bunch of mates having a laugh. A lot of times they cut back to the studio after an ad break and we’re all still laughing… I’m lucky to work with an incredible bunch of women. We all have fun… Every morning we have our meeting together, it’s a room full of joy and laughter… It’s a room full of friendship and a room full of compassion, we care a lot about each other.”
