BREAKING NEWS: Loose Women star Janet Street-Porter MAKES BLUNT STATEMENT about Piers Morgan that leaves co-stars CONFUSED
Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter left her co-stars taken back as she seemingly took a jibe at Piers Morgan.
During Monday’s (October 6) episode of the ITV hit chat show, Janet was presenting alongside fellow panelists, Christine Lamphard, Coleen Nolan and Kelly Brooks as they tackled the day’s biggest talking points.
However, it was one segment that stole the show as they discussed how they feel about chivalrous men following Piers Morgan’sremark on feminists in his name book titled Woke is Dead.
The former GMB presenter, 60, said what he calls “radical feminist types” have tried to “poison” gentlemanly gestures such as holding doors, carrying heavy bags or paying for dinner.
Coleen was the first to share her opinion as she admitted: “I don’t often agree with him but I do agree with that because it is down to manners, certainly with holding doors and stuff like that.
“If I meet a guy and he holds the door open for me or opens the car door for me or a first date I’ll always offer to pay but if he says yeah I just think ‘you’re not getting a second date’.
Kelly also agreed as she jumped in saying: “I think on a first date they should always pay. In my house we have somehow slipped into pink and blue jobs.
“When it comes to the bins and things like that I would do it but I would appreciate it if Jeremy [Parisi, her husband] does it.”
It was clear that Janet strongly disagreed with her co-star as she put her hands over her face and put her head down.
Turning to the audience, Janet said: “I can’t bear how modern society has taken backwards male and female roles, it just doesn’t bother me in the slightest.”
In an unexpected moment, the TV presenter turned her attention to Piers as she continued: “What I find comical is that Piers Morgan is painting himself as some kind of chivalrous knight, some gentleman, who goes through life so upset that he opens doors for women and does all these lovely things and some radical horrible feminists are not appreciating it.
Pointing at herself: “This radical feminist will appreciate anyone opening a door.
“Man, women, whatever because I think good manners as Coleen has said is the fundamental thing, that means we’ve got a civilised society.”
Things then took a turn as she made a further dig at Piers and shared her recent encounter with the TV presenter: “What I find comical about Piers’ book is that only a few weeks ago, Christine and I had the misfortune to share a dinner table with Piers Morgan. We were at a very posh dinner in the city of London.
She continued: “Christine and I were sitting right next to Piers Morgan and as people were making very important speeches and who talked all the way through it.. Piers Morgan. Who demanded wine when no wine was being served.. “Piers Morgan.
Janet left her co-stars speechless as she added: “Then when the wine came he wanted champagne, so actually Piers Morgan try having a few manners before telling women about chivalry.”
