Good Morning Britain‘s Richard Arnold announced the news on today’s show.

When is Brenda returning to Loose Women?

He told viewers: “Today’s edition of Loose Women will air a special interview with Brenda Edwards, who has been away from the show since the tragic death of her son Jamal.

“Brenda has been taking time away from television to be with her family.

“This chat marks the first time Brenda has spoken on TV about the loss of her son.”
