notgoneyet oh Stacey is a sweetheart.

Most of the rest of them I would have to bodyswerve in real life though, I don’t think I could handle all that aggro from mates!

I take your point Danni, but in my opninion it is down to ITV for setting up the confrontation in the first place. Personally I thought both Nolan sisters came across as horribly smug, very good at looking as if butter wouldn't melt in their mouths.

I never watch LW but saw this interview on my computer. I was amazed at KW behavior remembering her from the cleaning programme. But as she repeated, l do it for the money. Obviously that is how she earns her living these days and gets paid well for it but I don't think for much longer.

I don't think that my opinion is going to be very popular but here goes.
I do not think that the other members of the panel 'ganged up' on Kim. I do not think that Coleen behaved badly towards her. I feel that she came on the programme all ready to row with them all - I thought she was very scary and if even Janet Street Porter couldn't calm her down then no one could.
By chance my husband watched the whole thing with me and before I came on here I asked him his opinion and he totally agreed with my take on the situation (and that is not something that happens very often!).
Finally my husband's last words on Kim and her behaviour after she stormed off were "She's mentally ill, isn't she?". So although she acted so badly maybe we should feel sorry for her and she needs to seek help. Certainly before she appears on tv again I would say.

I don't watch Loose women now, used to enjoy it when Kaye adams and in those days Colleen seemed just a bit of a comic nothing more..but in recent years I haven't watched it since it became so bland, and most of the women use it as a Platform for their own personal woes.

However I realise Kim has issues, but I have to say I did see the Big brother shpws with both Nolan sisters and with Nadia Sawalha . The Nolans sisters were absolutely vile..true colours ( separate shows), they were both bullies... and the most shocking of all was Nadia, whom I'd always liked previous to that. She was viscous and nasty..and I can't look at her at all acting the nice friendly best buddy act, without remembering just how horrible she is in real life!!

She's cerainly a good actress when it comes to that, pity she could have ''acted'' a more decent human being on BB>..so in this instance I completely understood Kim's attitude on LW..although I don't condone it...
She's probably seethed about Colleen Nolans' bullying in the BB house for a very long time.

Aepgirl I agree. Screeching or braying. I want to run a mile.

As an aside, I am always amazed when little girls are permitted to run around screeching. I have a daughter and she was never shrill as a small child, thank goodness.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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...

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 .....

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!"

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

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.

Sheilasue Thu 30-Aug-18 10:34:55

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.

Coconut Thu 30-Aug-18 10:34:40

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.

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.

sarahellenwhitney Thu 30-Aug-18 10:27:23

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.
