Loose Women
A series of alterations are taking place on Loose Women this week and viewers will notice a reshuffle in the studio. On Monday (June 29), the ITV programme confirmed it would be broadcasting for an additional 15 minutes this week, except for Thursday, owing to sports coverage.
Now, Charlene White has revealed the Loose Doctors will be making their comeback this week as some recognisable faces will be presenting the show on Thursday (July 2). She said: "There will be lots of medical advice on tomorrow's show, actually, because the Loose Doctors are back. Doctor Amir is joined by all your favourite daytime doctors. Doctor Nighat, Doctor Zoe and Doctor Hilary will be showing tips and advice on hair loss."

"They'll be giving their honest take on our vitamin supplement obsession, and there'll be lots of lunchtime laughs as well, so make sure you join them at 12:30."
Loose Doctors initially launched last August for a standalone special episode, with the panel addressing taboo subjects and offering expert guidance on enhancing wellbeing, reports OK!
Prior to the programme at the time, Dr Amir said: "This is the first time four of ITV's Daytime doctors will be on the panel together to look at the health issues that affect us all.
"We'll be sharing our expert medical advice and having some very candid conversations about the things that our patients are often too embarrassed to talk about, but shouldn't be, and hopefully giving them the confidence to make the most of their appointments.
"I'm really looking forward to the episode and hope that viewers will enjoy it, as well as learning some important and potentially life-saving tips too."
Throughout the poignant episode, ITV audiences witnessed Dr Nighat Arif becoming tearful while recounting her young son's battle with liver cancer.
The TV medic disclosed that he underwent eight surgical procedures and received a liver transplant.
Speaking on the programme, she said: "Afterwards, he ended up having eight operations, six rounds of chemo, three hickman line operations, three hospital stays, I totally was not the clinician I am today for about three years, and now he's ten years old.
"He swims for Swim England on the dive team, the donor family are our heroes but also the time when I really was able to empathise with our patients."
Loose Women is available to watch weekdays on ITV from 12:30pm.
