Comedian Jenny Eclair is leaving ITV’s Loose Women after reportedly failing to get on with her co-stars.

It’s being reported by the Mirror that after a year with te sow she rarely spoke to Loose Women regulars like Carol McGiffin, Denise Welch and Andrea McLean when they were not on camera.

Eclair said: I’ve had a brilliant time at Loose Women over the past year. It’s been an absolute hoot and I’ve met some really lovely people,” said Eclair.

“I just want to say thanks to everyone at ITV for 12 months of many laughs and I wish Loose Women, and all who sail on her, all the love and luck.

“There are no hard feelings on either side and I’m happy to offer my services behind the Loose Women desk should there be any last-minute emergencies. After all, I only live down the road.”

The Mirror quotes a ‘show insider’ as saying: “It is no secret that there is tension backstage between some of the women. Jenny never fully integrated with the other women and feels now is the time to move on.”
