Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha has been labelled “negligent” by some viewers as during a debate about the pingdemic.
Sitting in the host’s chair today (July 22) on Loose Women, things soon turned to how supermarkets were coping with apparent item shortages.
What did Nadia say on Loose Women today?
The panel – today hosted by Nadia – discussed the current pingdemic and pictures that appeared in the newspapers showing empty shelves in supermarkets.

“A lot of people I know have deleted the [NHS Test and Trace] app because they don’t want to be pinged when they’re not ill and not going into work and lose money,” Nadia said.
She also added that she knows some parents who have taken their kids out of school early to avoid being pinged.

The Loose Women never shy away from COVID debate
The Loose Women are no strangers to discussing the pandemic, with segments often ending up in fiery debates.
Last month Denise Welch clashed with Gloria Hunniford over COVID rules.
Denise stated that restrictions should end because she was unable to accompany her father to hospital in an ambulance.
