Loose Women? Loose morals more like after hypocritical handling of Kim Woodburn

There are many that will think that Kim Woodburn has a lot coming to her, after a fiery Celebrity Big Brother stint and some noticeable public outbursts since.
Whilst she is a bit of a loose cannon when it comes to live television, it is clear that she has had a lot to contend with as she battles demons of her own.
So, it would seem slightly unfair that the producers would try to exploit her renown temperament in a veiled attempt of serious debate.

From the moment the idea was muted of bringing Kim in to face her CBB nemesis Coleen Nolan, for 'clear-the-air' talks, it was probably privately hoped that she would kick-off.
All involved with Loose Women must have been rubbing their hands in delight as the drama unfolded and Kim stormed off set, sending social media into a frenzy.
It was unfair that producers looked to exploit Kim's temperament
It was soon apparent though that this was not the most savoury incident to ever happen on the ITV daytime show.
Public opinion was that the four panellists had in fact 'bullied' Kim and that the snide, off-mic comments had helped her make a spectacle of herself.

Howls of derision and calls for Coleen to lose her Loose Women status filled Twitter feeds and Facebook groups.
Over 3,300 people complained to Ofcom about the way Kim was handled and how she had been set up for a fall, all for entertainment and column inches.
While Coleen was not scheduled to appear on Thursday (August 30), it was felt that addressing the furore and even an apology to Kim for the ill-conceived feature, would be the least that could be done.
Not addressing the elephant in the room has made them look hypocritical
Unfortunately, the same people that thought it would be great to bring Kim in, then thought it be best to stay silent about the storm they had whipped up.
Not addressing the elephant in the room though has made all involved with Loose Women look hypocritical, especially as the first item on the agenda was the bullying of one of their panel members at the hands of a celebrity gossip magazine.

It's okay to dish it out but a disgrace if they are the victims? What is for certain, the popularity of the Loose Women and their loose morals have taken a huge tumble, as they chase headlines over dignity.
There was no need to set Kim up like they did and it is shameful that they've conveniently ignored the fallout, when it is clear that saying sorry is the least that should have happened since.

Celebrity Big Brother: What needs to happen to stop this series being the worst ever

No matter what you think of the antics of Natalie Nunn and Rodrigo Alves, it is safe to say that this series of Celebrity Big Brother has lost two of the biggest characters in the house. The problem that the Channel 5 reality TV series has now is that it could take too long to find its feet again and find fans of the show turning off. Who really wants a house where there is peace and harmony among its residents Natalie was easily the most controversial housemate this time around and her bullying and confrontational style left a lot to be desired. Her behaviour though, is surely what the bosses had paid the money to see. Who really wants a house where there is peace and harmony among its residents.

Celebrity Big Brother: Why the 'Banter Notes' should see Jermaine removed from the house

Morality is often low down on the list of priorities for the celebrities that enter the Big Brother house but there are times when the motives of the housemates need to be addressed. The eviction of Chloe Ayling was probably the right choice if this series is going to drag itself off the floor but her treatment by Jermaine Pennant should see the former footballer following her straight out the door. Controversy is what keeps the Channel 5 going and after Natalie Nunn was dumped in the public vote, there was a huge personality gap in the house. This was compounded by Rodrigo's removal, so there was a desperate need for someone to start the tongues wagging. What we didn't need though was Jermaine showing that he could have a bit of adulterous fun, just to brush it off as a bit of banter. After Chloe revealed all to the housemates about why they are on basic food rations and what was written in the secret communications between her and Jermaine, his reaction was more dis...
