Linda Robson's Loose Women fears amid brutal cuts at ITV - 'I'm praying'
The show favourite opened up about the future of the panel show and what it means for her Linda Robson says she's 'worried' about the future of Loose Women as ITV look to make huge savings across its daytime shows. In May it was revealed the much-loved panel show would be axed for half the year as bosses eyed up massive cuts in a bid to save millions. Birds Of A Feather star Linda, who's appeared on the show for 20 years, says the threat to its future has left her 'praying' it doesn't get cancelled. 'We are all rallying together,' she said. It's been reported that when budget cuts come into effect in January it'll mean the show will no longer have A-list guests in the studio and their live audience will be a thing of the past. There are growing fears the ITV staple could even be cancelled within a year. 'It will be very sad if we can't have guests,' sighed Linda, 67. ITV is slashing the budgets of its biggest daytime shows including Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, Loose Women and This Morning, including halving the number of jobs and significantly reducing the time some of them are on air. The cuts at ITV Studios, which makes all four shows, mean more than 220 of 440 staff involved will lose their jobs. 'It's a shame people are losing their jobs,' Linda went on. 'We're all like a family. We've been together through births, marriages, deaths. It's been very hard. Everyone's worried about the show. We're just trying to stay positive and hope for the best. But hopefully it's not going be as bad as it already is.' The show features a rotating panel of presenters who debate hot topics, big issues and the news of the day. It's welcomed huge names on as guests like supermodel Naomi Campbell and singer Janet Jackson. Running since 1999, it is filmed in front of a live studio audience - although recent reports suggest that this has now been cut and will be implemented next year. ITV haven't confirmed the move. Fellow Loose Women presenter Nadia Sawalha previously told how everyone was now fearing for their jobs. 'What people don't realise at Loose Women is that we're self-employed,' she explained. 'I am self-employed. Every contract is a new contract. I could be let go tomorrow. I could be let go in five years. You don't know because we're not employees.' Looking back at her time on the long-running show - famous for debating debate hot topics, big issues and the news of the day - Linda explained why she's been perfect for the panel. 'I've got a loose mouth,' she laughed on the red carpet of the National Reality TV Awards in London. 'I'm always getting told not to swear in my ear. They try and stop me from doing it. I'm under Baggy Mouth in the group chat.'

‘Nobody wants this!' scream Love Island fans as controversial challenge returns and viewers threaten to ‘switch off'
THE iconic baby challenge is making a comeback to Love Island tonight but fans are feeling far from ready. In the coming episodes, viewers will witness the Love Islanders coupled up and doing their best to take care of a screaming baby doll. 4 4 The Love Island challenge is supposed to truly test all of the sets of couples to see if they can keep their cool and successfully look after a little one. For some, the challenge will bring them closer. But others may leave thinking twice about whether they wish to have children in the future. Fans of the show are far from happy to hear the news though, taking to social media to express their disappointment in seeing the challenge return. 'We wanted the tweet challenge back!! No one cares about some f*** ass baby dolls,' said one user. A second shared: 'I actually hate the baby doll challenge. Lol this is when I stop watching'. A third agrees: 'There is nothing I hate more than the baby challenge, actively skip it everytime.' The ITV2 show made the decision to axe the baby challenge after nine seasons back in 2023 to allow space to welcome new tasks and challenges to the show. A sports day event was instead switched in place that year, and saw the Islanders competed in various athletic and silly games. At the time, fans were sad to see the baby challenge go, deeming the replacement as 'boring and dull'. One Twitter user shared: 'All I wanted was Tyrella in the baby challenge. Was that too much to ask for???'. But this year it seems that viewers feel the opposite way. Lasting love has been found in the villa for ex-Islanders, including Molly-Mae Hague, 26, and Tommy Fury, 26, who made it through the baby challenge in 2019. The couple, who briefly split in August last year, welcomed their first child, daughter Bambi, back in 2023. With tensions already high between many of the duos in this year's lineup, including Dejon and Meg, it's going to be interesting seeing what unfolds. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2. 4 4

Radio: A reminder that medieval politics was a dangerous business
'He's not just a skull,' the Reverend Andrew Doarks, the church's current rector pointed out on Radio 4 on Sunday evening. 'People call it the head because he's got a bit of vertebrae .. And there's an ear … And there are bits of skin still on him. So, we call him Simon's Head.' And where, you might ask, is Simon's body? That will be in Canterbury Cathedral where, instead of a head, Simon of Sudbury is buried, it is said, topped by a cannonball. The headless Archbishop, or rather the Archbishop's head, was the latest subject in Radio 4's Illuminated slot. Don't Lose Your Head! was a reminder that medieval politics was a dangerous business. Simon of Sudbury had gone into the church and proved himself useful by negotiating peace treaties with both the French and the Scots (we're more than two centuries before even the Union of the Crowns here). But then Simon found himself trapped at the Tower of London when the Peasants' Revolt kicked off over the poll tax. He was decapitated and his head was used for a kickabout. (No link is made to the Lionesses at this point, which may be the only time that hasn't happened on radio this week). The rebels also nailed Simon's mitre onto his detached noggin. Lovely. Presenter Robin Markwell's documentary had things to say about corporality and spirituality, but this was at heart a pleasingly straightforward, if gruesome, slice of history. There was a lot of it about on Radio 4 this week. Scottish writer Laura Cumming's new series Speed of Light - stretched across the week at 11.45am - saw her examine the early years of the history of photography and its role in recording history. In the process it also made history. This was a quiet, unassuming series. Just Cummings's words and voice, accompanied by a spot of music. But the result was fascinating; particularly on Monday and Tuesday when she revealed the importance of Scots-born photographers in the visual history of both the United States of America and Canada. Monday's programme explored the work of American civil war photographer Alexander Gardner - born in Paisley - who photographed the Battle of Antietam. Gardner also took the famous 'cracked-plate' portrait of Abraham Lincoln just two months before the President's assassination by John Wilkes Booth. Booth, by the way, was a well known actor whose face was familiar to many in the United States via photography. That familiarity ultimately didn't help the actor. He was gunned down by Union soldiers 12 days after he killed the President. The power of the photograph in action, you might say. On Tuesday Cumming headed north to examine the work of another Paisley buddie, William Notman who emigrated to Canada in 1856, where he pursued his interest in photography, taking photographs of Buffalo Bill, Sitting Bull and Canadians both grand and ordinary; from the country's first Prime Minister, Sir John Macdonald, a fellow Scot, to moose hunters and the men laying the country's railways. New to me, his photographs are, you have to say, a delight and such is Cumming's way with words you don't mind that you can't see them on the radio. Her descriptions are vivid. But they do push you to Google them. It's worth the effort. Either Notman or Gardner would be a good exhibition subject for the Paisley Museum when it finally reopens, by the way. As Alison Rowat has already noted elsewhere in The Herald, Scottish writer Irvine Welsh has been on the publicity circuit in support of his new novel Men In Love, a sequel to Trainspotting. (I'm about two-fifths of the way through it as I type this. It's very blokey, very Welshy, very readable.) On Saturday morning - the day before he turned up on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch (see Alison's column) - he was on 6 Music talking to Chris Hawkins about Oasis, his 'serial raver' days, his guilty love of disco when he was a punk and this moment we are currently in. 'They're pretty dark times right now. The internet has not been kind to us," Welsh said, condemning the power of this billionaire elite. 'You think to yourself, 'This is horrible, but what is it that is good in life?' And what's good in life is love.' Dig deep enough and you'll find that every old punk is a disappointed hippy at heart. Listen Out For: Stuart Mitchell's Cost of Dying, Radio 4, August 6, 11pm If the idea of attending the Fringe brings you out in hives then you can always get your comedy quotient on Radio 4. Scottish comedian Stuart Mitchell, a regular on Radio Scotland's comedy panel show Breaking the News, has a new Radio 4 series which begins with a look at end-of-life care. Might be a challenge to make that funny, but Mitchell is up to it.
