Did anyone just watch Kim Woodford on Loose Women? shock

Can't abide Cleer Nolan or her sister who was vile on Big Brother. Yes Kim looks like she needs help but Ms Nolens are good at setting an argument up then sitting back and looking smug. Don't watch LW as apart from JSP non of them seem very genuine just self opinionated self absorbed has beens!

Colleen blush

I think this might be a turning point for Loose Women - it was definitely very uncomfortable to watch. In all fairness, Kim didn't do herself any favours. She came on determined not to make things up with Colleen and immediately went into a tirade which even JSP couldn't stop. Kim may have had a dreadful childhood but then so have many people. That's no excuse to be so rude and abusive to others. She really needs help and some counselling, the anger in her is dreadful. Colleen needs to take a good look at herself too. I knew her marriage was doomed when she started her constant bitching and sniping at him in public, then expected everyone to feel sorry for her when it broke up.

Of course ITV will continue to show programmes like this as long as we all continue to watch them. The off button or channel change button are useful tools to be used for rubbish like this.

I just saw the clip online - I don't watch the programme usually. Colleen Nolan was smirking away until obviously someone said something in her ear and she started looking sad and upset. I've never really like Colleen since she was on Dancing on Ice!

I watched the clip, I have never watched the programme. What an awful display and example from two grown women. Clearly they both have issues, personal and with each other.
I felt KW was set up, although she obviously agreed to be on the programme. Gutter TV at its worst!
It reminded me of when I was teaching and called to break up slanging matches between teenage girls, who didn’t know any better!
Boys usually just thumped each other. Neither to be recommended.

No unfortunately I missed it
Isn't Kim great for her age? Beside the point but would be on her side purely on the fact CN is and always has been in my view a' mouth' almighty and needs to engage her brain before opening her mouth.

annep Thu 30-Aug-18 10:27:33

What a horrible programme. They were all so rude to Kim. Blonde lady on the left.. Whats your talent? disgusting. I don't know her so I wonder what her talent is! I cant believe they would behave likd this in public.
I like Kim. She is very direct and honest and I believe her. Just because she was loud and C Nolan was quiet doesn't fool me. Janet Street-Porter I expected better of you.

Kim clearly has anger management and other issues, so she should not be invited on to any shows because fireworks will ensue very quickly no matter who she was talking too. Yes, very uncomfortable viewing. I don’t watch B.B. but I got the impression that Colleen said and did what she had to say just to avoid Kim’s verbal onslaughts on the show. Everyone has to tread on egg shells around her it seems.

Never watch it reminds of bitchy ladies. They do ok not got the problems some poor souls have I can’t relate to a lot of the things they.

JuneS Thu 30-Aug-18 10:36:23

I have also caught up with the program and cannot understand why this out of control argument was allowed to go on for so long. I thought that Kim was loud and insulting in the language that she used. If she cannot put her point forward without shouting and using the name calling then she does need help. I thought she showed herself up when on crying about her childhood and Linda Robson touched her shoulder, she shouted "don't touch me, you are two faced" She has a very forceful personality and is being paid to show it off.

pennyh47 Thu 30-Aug-18 10:54:48

Very uncomfortable viewing. Used to love this programme but have stopped watching it. Supposed to be “light entertainment” but will just put people off. Agree with a lot of the comments about CN and her airing of personal matters. The shows producers need to take note of how people feel about the programme and go back to the old formula

HannahLoisLuke Thu 30-Aug-18 11:03:59

Just watched that clip on catchup. What a loud awful aggressive woman Kim Woodburn is. Last saw her in the jungle and she was just the same there, always going for anyone who doesn't agree with her. Didn't watch Big Brother, think it would have given me a nervous breakdown!
Don't think much of any of the Loose Wonen, but as I don't watch it I don't know them all.
As my mum used to say " common as muck!"

bobble5 Thu 30-Aug-18 11:31:35

I've just watched the video on Youtube, missed the show yesterday. Could've done with a strong anchor to keep things in check, they knew there would be a riot, and choose to have Linda Nolan as anchor. Will be watching today to see what's being said.

annep Thu 30-Aug-18 11:39:55

Someone is is loud and angry therefore wrong?
Someone is quiet and controlled therefore right?
But it is better to make your point quietly. She hasnt learned that..yet. Perhaps she wasnt listened to when she was young unless she shouted. Or perhaps her parents shouted and thats the behaviour she learned. (I dont know her background). Poor Kim.

Kim19 Thu 30-Aug-18 11:45:08

Thank you CB for that ofcom link. I've complied and complained. Never done that before.

Meriel Thu 30-Aug-18 11:59:26

I watched it. I usually enjoy the programme. I agree this was uncomfortable viewing but I do think Kim needs therapy and, after what she has said about Colleen I don't think Collen could be expected to be very friendly.

inishowen Thu 30-Aug-18 12:00:48

I watched it and felt very uncomfortable. For once Janet Street Porter was out of her depth. Kim Woodburn wasn't in the mood to listen to anyone. She was scary, like someone who should be sectioned. I don't blame Colleen in any way. She was nervous before Kim came on. ITV set them both up. Colleen and her sister didn't fly off the handle yet they were justified in doing so. Poor Linda got an earful off Kim for trying to comfort her.

Kezziedog Thu 30-Aug-18 12:04:46

Kim has “anger issues “ and needs to address them .
Shouts everyone down , and whenLinda tried to put an arm around her , she wouldn’t accept it and told Linda she was “ two faced .” Don’t think this display will further any future career . Doesn’t seem a nice person ..... very money grabbing ..... but then all celebrities do these “stupid” shows for money ..... it was very embarrassing watching .....

Sunami2 Thu 30-Aug-18 12:10:06

I agree that Kim Woodburn is in need of some help ... Perhaps a start would be for tv company not to set up such appearances on the LW show especially as Miss W is known to them already as having become very angry and upset on their and other previous tv appearances...

sodapop Thu 30-Aug-18 12:24:14

I agree annep I expected better from Janet Street-Porter. The others are just brainless sheep following the flock.

annep Thu 30-Aug-18 14:03:48

But Linda was being two-faced. She wouldnt admit what Colleen had said. And she said it behind Colleens back. They need to grow up like someone said Common as muck.

Aepgirl Thu 30-Aug-18 14:24:19

I'm with you, Grannyknot. On the few occasions I have seen bits of LW it just makes me cringe. I can't stand screeching women in any context.

tiredoldwoman Thu 30-Aug-18 14:28:24

I remember seeing Kim on a My House in the Sun type programme , she was a delight then . Quiet, humble , enthusiastic and it made an interesting programme . Today she was baited and a tormented soul, oh dear .

hopeful1 Thu 30-Aug-18 14:31:48

I like Kim a lot and feel she was ambushed by the entire show. I watched the interview because of Kim but she came across as vulnerable and was used for entertainment value. The whole programme should be taken off air for ever, not one of the women on the panel has anything worthwhile to contribute, all has beens, or nearly famous, with nothing better to do. They have stooped lower than low imo, ganging up like playground bullies. Shame on itv.
