Jane Moore has become the first Loose Women panelist to speak out about the looming cuts to ITV’s flagship daytime show — and she’s not holding back.
In a powerful new column, the long-standing presenter blasted the “casual misogyny” behind how Loose Women is often dismissed by critics. She warned that the show, which has tackled issues ranging from miscarriage and menopause to domestic violence and breast cancer, is far more than “just women gossiping over the garden wall.”
Jane confirmed that Loose Women will be cut back to just 30 weeks of programming per year from 2026, a drastic reduction that she says will most painfully affect the “dedicated staff behind the scenes” — not the on-air personalities.
The journalist also expressed frustration over online “keyboard warriors” and media speculation over panelist dynamics, calling it part of a broader trend of downplaying female-led content. “So much of what I read are lazy, anti-female tropes that fuel modern-day misogyny,” she wrote.
Jane called on ITV not to use financial cuts as “yet another excuse to treat women’s viewpoints as irrelevant,” and warned that the rollback of Loose Women and similar programming feels like “the world is going backwards” in terms of visibility for women’s issues.
Support from fans poured in on social media, with fellow Loose Women host Kaye Adams and many others praising Jane for speaking up at a time when many remain silent.
