Jane Moore<\/a> has blasted the “snooty reaction” of some pundits at the announcement Loose Women<\/a> is to be cut back to 30 weeks of the year.<\/p>\n The journalist, who claims ITV<\/a> intends to use money it will save with the move by investing in more sport programmes, said she was “immensely disappointed” to see comments she called “lazy misogyny”. She wrote: “One male commentator for a broadsheet casually dismissed Loose Women \u2014 on air for 25 years \u2014 as a ‘gabfest’… The snooty reaction from some quarters was immensely disappointing.”<\/p>\n Jane, 63, does not name the broadsheet – or commentator – in her opinion piece but goes onto list several examples of moments on Loose Women where key political figures have been held to account.<\/p>\n Writing for The Sun<\/a>, the journalist said: “Clearly he hadn\u2019t seen the episode when Janet Street Porter turned to then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak<\/a> and demanded: ‘Why do you hate pensioners?’… Or when a squirming Nigel Farage<\/a> was put on the spot and declared afterwards ‘that was one of the scariest things I\u2019ve ever done.'”<\/p>\n READ MORE: Lorraine Kelly refused ‘insulting’ offer to merge her show with GMB amid cuts<\/a> Loose Women, a staple on ITV since 2000, also won a Royal Television Society award earlier this year for its Facing It Together campaign against domestic violence.<\/p>\n But it and Lorraine are casualties of a major ITV shake-up<\/a>, as both daytime programmes will only run 30 weeks of the year from 2026. It is thought the move will save the network money but Jane, who was on I’m a Celebrity<\/a>…Get Me Out of Here! last year, understands cash will go into sport programmes instead.<\/p>\n The experienced broadcaster added: “When it was announced that one of the precious few, all-female shows was being cut back to 30 weeks a year to save money<\/a> for, among other things, more sport, the snooty reaction from some quarters was immensely disappointing.<\/p>\n “We always cover the day\u2019s main news stories, as well as \u00adimportant topics such as, among many other things, miscarriage, post-natal depression, menopause, midlife female invisibility (oh the irony) and breast cancer awareness.”<\/p>\n Jane has been a regular on Loose Women since 2013 and had a three-year stint some time before then, ending in 2002. She works alongside multiple panelists, whose ages range from 25 to 85-year old TV legend Gloria Hunniford. It is thought the numbers will be cut next year, alongside the hours available.<\/p>\n![\"Jane](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0_Brian-Nolan-on-Loose-Women.jpg\")
