Gloria Hunniford faced backlash for her use of language on Loose Women today (August 2).
The women were asked whether they were hopeless romantics or not during a segment on the show.
As a result, Gloria began telling a story about herself when she was younger.
“When I was 19, the first time I went to Majorca and I thought I had fallen in love with somebody.
“Every time he said: ‘Would you like to see more of the island?’ his mum then came, and afterwards, I discovered that he was very, very gay.”
Ruth Langsford then interjected: “He wanted you as a friend!”

She continued: “But what we did quite early on was get quite a real hair wig made for her. Honestly, I was quite shocked at how real it is because you could be an inch away from the root and you just don’t know [it’s a wig].”
Gloria added: “For her, she loved having it and she just said: ‘Oh I had my hair cut off’, because she had lovely long hair.”
