This Morning star Ben Shephard braved a cheeky jibe live on-air, taking a stab at his Loose Women co-stars, he hinted that there could be trouble in paradise with panel members

Cheeky chap Ben Shephard couldn’t resist taking a stab at his Loose Women co-stars.

The TV host, who has worked on ITV for over two decades now, is not one to shy away from making loose comments on air. When chatting to host Charlene White about her schedule for the day, he took his chances and landed a tongue-in-cheek jibe.

Over at the This Morning studio, Ben and his co-presenter’s Cat Deeley and Josie Gibson were trying out various toys for the garden – ahead of hopefully better weather to come this summer. He and the Bristolian star popped on two Giant Body Bopper suits, that were shaped like raspberries.

This outdoor game proved to be lots of fun as Josie and the Tipping Point host went head-to-head in the massive inflatables, with the aim of the game being, to bop your opponent over.

Before long, the TV pair were completely knocked off of their feet with host Cat needing to intervene to scoop them both up from the floor. As the segment was wrapping up, Charlene White appeared on the programme to update on Loose Women topics that would be open for discussion on today’s show (July 10).

Slightly out of breath and addressing Charlene while donning the massive raspberry suit, Ben quipped: “I think you girls might need this in the Loose Women studio.”

Charlene shrugged off Ben’s comment

Knowing what he was alluding to, his co-star Cat smacked the suit as if to tell him not to go there. But he did anyway, adding: “You could sort out a few arguments with some of these.”

Trying to shut the former GMB star, Cat gave him another jab, this time much harder as a bashful Charlene smoothed over his dig, chirping back: “Ben, it suits you babes, it suits you.”

ITV News star Charlene was joined on the panel today by Love Island’s Olivia Attwood, actress Sue Cleaver and Birds Of A Feather star Linda Robson.

Loose Women was running on it’s normal allotted time, 12:30pm but was forced to wrap up discussions early after suffering a schedule shake-up. ITV News had been brought forward to 1pm, meaning the ladies needed to finish earlier than normal.

Changes were made to the normal routine schedule, to make way for ITV racing. Today, the team were filming from Newmarket racecourse.

Loose Women airs on ITV from 12:30pm.
