Gloria Became A Great Grandmother And A Shepherdess In One Weekend! | Loose Women

Gloria Hunniford had quite a weekend. In a single clip she tells the panel she became a great-grandmother for the first time and, after being given the Freedom of the City of London, drove a flock of sheep across a bridge in the capital. Driving sheep over London Bridge is one of the old privileges that comes with that honor. Few weekend updates cover both.

The week's most watched upload was a sadder one. The panel marked the death of Dame Esther Rantzen, the That's Life presenter, who died at 86 after a long illness. She had written a farewell letter hoping to see everyone again on the other side, and that led into a gentle conversation about the afterlife. Kaye Adams still feels her late parents' influence but does not expect to meet them again. Fatiha sees this life as a test and looks forward to being reunited with her family.

The lighter clips held their own. GK Barry watched a realistic AI video of herself dyeing her hair red, and the panel agreed the platforms should be doing more about deepfakes. Myleene Klass explained why she is not part of the Hear'Say reunion, and Charlene showed off the car-fixing skills her dad taught her.

The clip with the most pull right now went up on Wednesday: the panel on the growing calls to spare Christa Pike, the Tennessee inmate who survived her execution and is speaking again. In about half a day it gathered more views than most of the week's other uploads.

The channel as a whole ran at roughly half its usual daily pace, and subscribers held at 488,000. Most talk channels near its size were also below their norm. Lorraine, from the same ITV daytime schedule, was the exception, running well above its usual pace.
