Lisa Maxwell hints she could return to Loose Women four years after quitting the panel

The actress who formerly starred in The Bill said that being on the panel was a hoot

LISA Maxwell has hinted that she could return to the famous Loose Women panel.

The former Bill actress left four years ago because being on the raucous show was making her "lazy", she said, and "wasn't real work".

But now in an interview with Woman magazine she explained why she would "never say never" to returning to the panel.

Lisa, 54, said: "I watched Denise and Carol on Loose Women and I think the show is brilliant.

"I'm really enjoying it these days. I have had some of the happiest times doing that show and made some lifelong friends.

"There's no reason not to go back and it's a lot of fun, so never say never."

She was part of the panel until 2014 and said at the time: “Loose Women for me, as a mum – finishing at 1.30pm after a live show and then having the day to be a mum and a wifey – was heavenly and just what I needed.

"But it made me very lazy, so I did that for way too long.

“I had the time of my life getting drunk and misbehaving with a load of old birds, it was bloody marvellous. It was money for old rope and a real light relief.”

In her most recent interview, the mum-of-one said she most often gets recognised in the loo.

Lisa added: "People just want a chat and forget you're on the toilet.

"People start talking about The Bill and go into depth with story lines, ask whether Carol McGiffin is nice in real life, and you don't know whether to finish up and come out or wait till they've gone!"
