Loose Women reunite child stars of The Sound Of Music ahead of musical's 60th anniversary - but it goes seriously wrong
Loose Women reunited the child stars of The Sound Of Music as it celebrates its 60th anniversary - but the segment was plagued with issues on Friday. Friday's episode of the ITV daytime show saw Kaye Adams anchor the panel, which was made up of Olivia Attwood, Jane Moore and Oti Mabuse. During the show they marked the 60th anniversary of The Sound Of Music and were joined by four of the iconic child stars. Kaye, 62, welcomed Angela Cartwright, Kym Karath, Debbie Turner and Duane Chase who tuned in via video link from Italy. However, as the panelists enjoyed the nostalgic trip down memory lane, sound issues plagued the broadcast. Throughout the interview viewers at home could hear static and muffling from the audio, before it dipped at times. Kaye addressed the problems, telling fans: 'Can we just apologise to viewers there's a slight sound issue there but I think we'll persevere with it.' Fans took to social media to give out about the issue, as one wrote: 'The hills are alive with the sound of static.' A second penned: 'This is painful.' During the chat, the Loose ladies asked the child stars how long it really took to film the iconic scene in the Swiss Alps with Julie Andrews. Angela, 72, replied: 'That particular one, I think we were there for two days, but the whole sequence took weeks to film because we were all over Austria for different locations. 'Our director had storybook to everything, so he knew exactly where we were going to be at what time.' Meanwhile, during an appearance on This Morning earlier this year, fans were stunned at how incredible Debbie looked. Posting on X, formerly Twitter, one viewer said: 'They haven't aged at all...' 'Time has certainly been kind to them,' another echoed. While a third said: 'Looking amazing, ladies!' Others couldn't help but praise The Sound Of Music. Another said: 'Repping my favourite Human today in my new tshirt. Queen Dame Julie Andrews Also love the fact This Morning were just discussing The Sound Of Music !!' 'The Sound Of Music was a good film,' a third chimed in. A fourth added: 'Good film The Sound Of Music.' While a fifth said on YouTube: 'Thank you for this. Great interview. I'm now 66 & saw the film when it first came out & am still a huge fan.' Another added: 'My favourite film of all time. I'm 38. Julie Andrews is mine and my mammies favourite woman! Never gets old.'
