Loose Women’s grooming pact divides viewers

It's time to bin those razors...

We all have those days when we think: “I just can’t be bothered to do my hair/put on my make-up/have a shave.”

And clearly, that doesn’t exclude our favourite TV stars. On today’s Loose Women, panellists Stacey Solomon and Linda Robson revealed that they’re going to shun their razors and let their bodily hair grow wild.

But they’re not just ditching the grooming for one day – they don’t plan to shave again until December!

It was Stacey who first brought the subject up, explaining that her hairy limbs might just be notorious among the Loose Women crew.

She said: “I think I might be the topic of many chats in the back room, because people are quite alarmed by the state of my grooming.

“‘I don’t shave a lot – I can’t be bothered. I’d rather wear trousers, as they keep me warm.”

The 28-year-old then revealed that she and Linda had made a pact to remain hirsute, laughing: “We’re going to go wild, go native for a few weeks.”

Apparently, Kaye Adams and Nadia Sawalha have also been roped in – though it sounds like Christine Lampard won’t be joining them.

The brunette said: “I couldn’t do that to my face. My eyebrows would be down to my chin if I didn’t control them.”

Stacey was then asked how her boyfriend Joe Swash would feel about her having hairy legs over the next few weeks.

But the former X Factor star shrugged it off, revealing: “He loves the fur, Joe.”

As funny as the segment was, it received mixed reviews from people on Twitter.

One female viewer was clearly energised by the women’s comments, writing: “Yessss I rarely shave… nature is the best way.”

“I rarely shave in winter. Only if taking son swimming then I do,” said another.

But on the other side of the coin, there was a male viewer who seemed to find the whole conversation pretty gross.

He sneered: “[Expletive] daytime TV & one of these Loose Women has just admitted she ain’t been shaving on a regular [basis]. I’m in the middle of my dinner here.”

“If you don’t shave your legs Santa doesn’t bring presents. End of,” added another.

Another asked: “Did we need to know Linda has a bush tucker trial going on in her pants?!”

Maybe one day the Loose Women will say something that everyone agrees on – but we doubt it!
