Tense Moment on Loose Women as Co-star's Comment Sparks Controversy

The atmosphere on Loose Women's Wednesday (16th April) episode took a sharp turn from joyful to serious when host Charlene White had to issue a firm warning following an inappropriate remark.

Experiment with AI and a Dog
Charlene, alongside panellists Denise Welch, Janet Street Porter, and Mariella Frostrup, were experimenting with artificial intelligence to envision what a dog might look like as a human. Tensions rose when the production team chose to use Janet's own dog, Badger, for the experiment to see his human counterpart.

The Controversial Image
The situation escalated after Janet had been mimicking her cherished pet on the show, which had already caused an eruption of laughter from both the audience and her fellow panellists. The screen then displayed a split-image of Janet's terrier transformed into a rugged man with flowing locks and a beard, eliciting gasps at the handsome AI creation.

Reprimanding Remarks
In an unexpected turn, Janet expressed her dissatisfaction with the AI-generated image, sparking a sharp response from Charlene. The host delivered a firm rebuke to Janet for her disparaging words, emphasizing the importance of respectful language.

Moving On
Acknowledging her misstep, Janet apologized, allowing Charlene to steer the conversation away from the uncomfortable exchange, ultimately bringing the segment to a close.

End of the Segment
Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV1, from 12:30pm.
