Brenda Edwards has declared she’s too busy for love right now.

The TV favourite, 55, known for her role on Loose Women is a proud mum to daughter Tanisha and remembered her late son Jamal, who tragically passed away in 2022 at the age of 31.

Despite past relationships, Brenda is content flying solo, telling Woman’s Own: “No, I’m single and loving it. I don’t need a man, or a woman. I’m fine with just me, myself and I. You’ve got to enjoy your own company. Plus, I’m really busy, so I haven’t got the time to date.”

Rising to fame on ‘The X Factor ‘ back in 2005, Brenda has since made a name for herself in musical theatre, starring in hits like ‘Hairspray’ and ‘We Will Rock You’. However, she revealed that she’s lost contact with the judges from the show, although Sharon Osbourne did catch her performances.

Brenda shared: “They’re all busy. Sharon Osbourne came to see me star in a couple of shows, like ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘Chicago’, but I’m not really in touch with any of the judges. As far as the acts are concerned, I’m in contact with Chico, Andy Abraham, Fleur East of course, and The Conway Sisters.”

Despite the end of ‘The X Factor’ in 2018, Brenda is all for its return and wouldn’t mind stepping back onto the stage herself, especially since live bands became part of the format after her time. She enthused: “I’d love it to return and I’d love to go on it again because during my time there we used backing tracks, but then two years later they introduced live bands. I think any singer would love to sing with a live band.”
