LOOSE Women's Janet Street-Porter confirmed a 'feud' with her co-star on today's show, revealing a fellow panellist 'never spoke' to her.

The outspoken redhead, 76, revealed Denise Welch didn't speak to her for years as she opened up about their secret beef after long-running rumours of simmering tension.

The subject came up as Janet and Denise, 64, were discussing one of the day's topics with Kaye Adams and Brenda Edwards, who were also on the desk this lunchtime.

The ITV1 show panel were asked: "Should you stay in touch with ex-colleagues?"

The topic led Janet to reveal a past bust-up between her and Denise.

Revealing that she and Denise were previously not bosom buddies, Janet said: "Actually, Denise is talking to me, she never used to."

Denise admitted there was tension, replying: "I agree with you but there's a reason for that. There have been big changes."

Kaye and Brenda looked stunned and gasped as the revelation was aired during the live show.

Brenda then attempted to change the topic by saying she had personal phone numbers for all her fellow Loose Women and revealed she "talks to each one individually".

But Denise assured viewers, and Janet, that the pair are actually friends now.

"You are my friend!" confirmed Janet, jokingly adding: "Don't start being neurotic, Denise. Don't mess it up!' 

Janet added that while she is pals with her TV co-stars, there have been times in other workplaces, when she hasn't been.

She explained: 'If I'm honest, when I've been in a work situation where I've been the boss, you can't be pally, you can't have a close friend among the workforce because the other 99 percent will hate your guts and that person's life will be made a misery in a lot of work situations."

Last month, the show's moderator Charlene White set the record straight on feud rumours with her co-stars.

The I'm A Celebrity star, 42, denied any rift with her fellow Loose ladies and said there is "no animosity".

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Charlene said: "There is no feud at all, it's such a lazy thing to sort of say that a group of women together, there must be animosity.

"It's not like that at all, it's a lot of love and a lot of heart and lot of respect among us."
