Doctor Zoe Williams is hoping to make a return to Loose Women, after being a part of the show’s first-ever Loose Doctors episode last week. Alongside Dr Amir Khan, Dr Hilary Jones, and Dr Nighat Arif, the 45-year-old shared her expertise on a number of taboo topics as well as tips on how we can all improve our health.

Discussing her experience on the show, the This Morning regular said it was “an absolute privilege” to be a part of the episode, and expressed a desire to do it again.

She added: “The four of us are genuine friends as well as mutually respected doctors, so we felt able to have those really raw, honest conversations, and we had a lot of fun too.”

Asked if she would consider a return, Zoe continued: “Our hope is that there will be further episodes of Loose Doctors as we have so many ideas and so much more to share.

“It was difficult to narrow down what topics we would discuss on the first show. It somewhat depends on the response from the public, so if you loved it, please share.”

Zoe is mostly recognised for her regular appearances on This Morning, where she often gives her perspective on many health topics, including personal stories from guests.

From January 2026, the show will remain on television in its usual slot, though this isn’t the same for other programmes in the ITV schedule.

Lorraine Kelly’s self-titled show will air for just 30 minutes instead of an hour on a seasonal schedule, running 30 weeks of the year. Loose Women will follow suit, though it will retain its one-hour slot from 12.30pm to 1.30pm.

With the programme scheduled to air fewer episodes, there’s speculation that the current roster of 26 panellists may also face cuts.

For now, Zoe remains as a regular face on ITV and, as part of her hectic schedule, she has also partnered up with Tesco’s campaign to support their Free Fruit For Kids’ initiative.

The move is part of the supermarket’s wider drive to help the nation eat more of its five-a-day and make healthy choices easier and more affordable.

As many parents will know, getting children to eat fruit can be a difficult task, but Zoe has three tips that can help with this.

She firstly suggests making the process fun, explaining: “Whether it’s a sticker chart or getting kids involved in preparing and cooking food, making the process fun and interactive can encourage the whole household to eat more fruit and veg.”

Secondly, the doctor believes pairing fruit with tasty extras can make it look more appealing.

“Sometimes all it takes is a little twist. Try serving apple slices with peanut butter, banana with yoghurt, or berries with granola. Fun pairings can help children get over texture or taste barriers,” she added.

Trying new recipes is Zoe’s third tip, adding: “Your five a day don’t have to come in the form of snacks or even whole fruit – you can incorporate fruit and veg into new recipes and formats like smoothies, juices or even desserts.”
