A Loose Women star fought back tears moments into the ITV show. Judi Love returned to the panel after taking a short break, with presenters Christine Lampard, Kelly Brook and Janet Street-Porter welcoming her back.
However, the comedian had some devastating news to share. She explained: “Life, highs and lows. I had a beautiful time doing my show, All About The Love tour, and I sold out Hammersmith Apollo. That was amazing, it was such a beautiful night. As a comedian, that’s something that you dream of doing so actually doing it and selling out as a solo artist was phenomenal.”

She continued: “But life has its highs and it has its lows, and one of the lows that’s just only happened over the weekend is I lost a dear friend and a colleague, Dominic Taylor.
“He was and is a phenomenal chef. He was the chef on my show, Our Table.
“I remember first meeting him and tasting his food and it was amazing, it was a dream to work with him so when he said yes, that he would do my show, I was beyond happy.

“The way he speaks, the way he articulates himself with passion and that was his thing, his passion was about Caribbean food, and he has changed the trajectory of Caribbean food.
“There’s sometimes negative connotations about it not looking pretty, he’s taken it to a level of being fine dining and that is something we will never forget that he did for us.”
