Every time we catch up with Judi Love, we end up with a smile on our faces – and this interview is no exception. But as the Loose Women favourite sits down to reflect on her rise to stardom, she also lays out the realities of balancing her busy schedule with being a full-time mother of two.
“I may have had the longest and hardest day at work ever but I’ll still come home and make sure they’ve done their homework,” the 42-year-old laughs. “I’ll never stop being that hands-on mum, no matter how busy I am!”
As she looks back on her two years on the ITV hit, Judi reveals what really happens when an on-air debate gets too heated and why every photocall with her “sisterhood” brings a tear to her eye.
Hi, Judi! You joined Loose Women two years ago. Are you still loving it?
I’d watched the show for years, so when I look back to the day I was asked to take part, I still have to pinch myself. I didn’t realise how much of a reach it had. This lunchtime series means so much to so many – you’re part of their everyday life – and what you say and do can have such an impact. I still have old men and young children stopping me and saying, “You’re that lady from the telly, aren’t you?” It blows my mind - it’s really special!
Are you really as close to your fellow panellists as you seem?
