During Thursday’s This Morning, viewers and the live studio audience were joined Charlene White and her co-stars Linda Robson, Penny Lancaster, Denise Welch

Loose Women star Charlene White abruptly paused the show as she took a ‘moment’ to reflect and shared ‘very sad news’.

During Thursday’s episode of the ITV hit daytime show, viewers and the live studio audience were joined by Charlene and her co-stars Linda Robson, Penny Lancaster, Denise Welch as they discussed different ways to keep your kitchen organised.

The TV star, 44, took everyone by surprise as she started off by saying: “OK we are going to have a bit of a moment of reflection right now, I have some sad news ladies and gentleman.”

Keeping things light hearted, she continued: “It’s for those of you who love a food storage container. Tupperware has gone bust, they have been a kitchen staple for years.

 Charlene asked Linda if she was crying

Everyone burst out laughing as she turned to co-star Linda and asked: “Are you crying?” Linda had her face in her hands as she replied: “Yeah.”

Charlene continued: “They have been a kitchen staple since 1946 and even the late Queen was a fan so Penny are you going to miss them?”

Penny started off by saying: “It’s all about organising and demonstrating how to make our living spaces more organised and pretty and all that so it does seem a shame but maybe it’s the plastic they produced that wasn’t toxic free.”

Charlene jumped in and joked: “It is a shame and I feel like most of those Tupperware containers are in Penny’s pantry.” She then asked: “Can we get an insight?”

A picture of Penny’s kitchen popped up on the screen and everyone was impressed as Denise said: “Wow look at that. It looks like Selfridges.”

Speaking about her inspiration behind the kitchen, Penny revealed: “I was inspired by Rod’s older daughter Kimberly. During lock down she had an idea and this is some of her work.”

She continued: “She goes into some luxury homes and organises everyone’s pantry’s and wardrobes and I was inspired by her when I did my new kitchen.”

Denise then said: “When I grow up I want to be Penny.” Everyone burst out laughing as a picture of Denise kitchen flashed up on the screen and it was the complete opposite to Penny’s.

She continued: “See I have a bit of cereal and some old raisins and I keep thinking I need to get some clips because they are just folded over and shoved in the corner but I aspire to be like Penny.”
