'YOU DON'T NEED A MAN TO HAVE A NICE LIFE'

Loose Women's Jane Moore on quitting the show, her friendship with Sharon Osbourne and why she's not ready to find love again

- JULIE ANN TRAINOR

She’s often hailed as the voice of reason on Loose Women, largely due to her cool and composed demeanour. As one  of the show’s original panellists and a former royal correspondent, it’s easy to see why Jane Moore is such a hit with viewers at home.

But while she’s always chatty and happy on-screen, behind closed doors, Jane, who is mum to Ellie and Grace and step-mum to Lauren, has endured some personal sadness in recent years. In 2022, she announced that she and her husband of 20 years, PR guru Gary Farrow, had separated.

Here, the 61-year-old fills us in on what’s next for her…

Hi Jane, great to see you! You were there at the start of Loose Women in 1999 before stepping down and rejoining in 2013. Would you ever leave the show?

No, no, I’ll definitely stay there. I’ve had a couple of months off because I’ve got so much other work on and I’ve just been on tour with Sharon Osbourne. I’ve had a holiday and I’ll be back to Loose Women on 1 March.

Who do you get on best with amongst the other panellists?
