Love Island narrator Iain, 32, said: “We were brought up in our parents’ generation and told that any emotion was seen as a weakness.
“What would be great for us is if talking about feelings was normalised.
“Men should be able to just chat to each other and family members about how they’re feeling.”
Refreshing to hear different voices! #Loosemen

#LooseMen – Love it – important conversations being had – think @loosewomen need to be alternating so this is a regular panel.

How did Loose Women fans react?
Meanwhile, the panel was praised for its honesty and openness.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: “Refreshing to hear different voices!”
In addition, another said: “I’d never normally watch #loosewomen, but I’d 100% watch #loosemen – this is infinitely better!”
Please can you make #loosemen a regular slot.

“Please can you make #loosemen a regular slot,” a third fan wrote.
Finally, a fourth joked: “I think every Thursday should be Loose Men day.
Come on @ITV give #LooseMen a regular slot in place of #loosewomen. Even if it’s just once a month at first. That was good and the world needs more of these kind of things. Time to strike a balance.
