Loose Women's Gloria Hunniford begs 'please don't sack me' live on air

Gloria Hunniford pleaded with the Loose Women bosses not to fire her on Monday.The subject at hand was losing your livelihood, with the 83-year-old panellist explaining: "I think you see that if you love something - doesn't matter whether it's friends or a job or whatever the situation, if you love something that much. "For example I've made no secret of the fact in my 80's, [I] love to work, don't want to give it up so please don't give me the sack from here." As her co-stars rallied around Gloria to settle her emotions, she then added: "I love my work and I have to say I would find it difficult to say goodbye to it. "It may say goodbye to me or you never know with medical things what happens, but I would find that difficult yes, I would." She needn't worry; with the revolving door of Loose Women panellists getting smaller and smaller these days, ITV will be glad to stick by its regulars for as long as possible.

Just this week it was confirmed that Jane McDonald had "no plans" to return, after a source originally told Bella magazine: "In September, Loose Women will celebrate 25 years on air, a feat nobody, especially the critics, thought they could achieve.

But they have proved everybody wrong and bosses want to go all-out with the celebrations, including bringing back some Loose Women legends. "And top of the list is Jane McDonald.

For many, she is the ultimate Loose Woman and they will do anything to make sure she's involved." A spokesperson for the 60-year-old singer denied this suggestion, stating: "There are no discussions taking place with regards to Jane returning to Loose Women whatsoever.
