The Loose Women panel were at it again on Friday with their need to overshare.
Nadia Sawalha, Stacey Solomon, Judi Love and Kaye Adams appeared on the panel to discuss a campaign featuring different breeds of cats, encouraging women to undergo their smear tests.
The NHS/My GP campaign shows a bald sphinx cat, as well as furrier breeds, and is aimed to coax women not to be put off having routine check ups because they might be self-conscious about how groomed their private parts are.
What’s new, pussycat? The Loose Women panel were at it again on Friday with their need to overshare
This, however, led the Loose Women to openly discuss how groomed they themselves are – in a segment no-one watching at home had asked for.
Nadia, 56, slammed the idea that women should be ‘bald’, while Stacey, 31, declared that she had let her ‘bush grow out’.
Kaye, 58, was left speechless by the topic and stuttered when asked about it.
It seemed viewers trying to enjoy their lunch were as gobsmacked as Kaye, as they took to Twitter to slam the TMI segment.

Not amused: It seemed viewers trying to enjoy their lunch were gobsmacked as they took to Twitter to slam the TMI segment
‘I don’t remember asking if Stacey etc had a bush or not! It wasn’t about that!’ one person typed.
Another merely posted, ‘Oh f*ck off!’ including an emoji of someone vomiting.
Another person remarked on the relevance of the discussion, posting: ‘It’s a medical examination not a porn audition!’
‘I don’t need to hear about your hairy f*****s!’ another despaired, while someone else remarked: ‘Are we really talking about this at lunchtime?’
Good cause: The new campaign is part of Cervical Cancer Prevention Week which runs this week until Sunday, January 24

Someone else merely added: ‘There’s nothing wrong with a bit of George W!’
Regardless of the unwanted tangent the segment took, Loose Women were continuing to champion awareness for cervical cancer, having previously launched a FACE YOUR SMEAR campaign.
The show pledged to ‘get talking about the reasons why we don’t attend smear tests’ with the aim to explain why it’s so important to never miss it.
WHAT IS A SMEAR TEST?
A smear test detects abnormal cells on the cervix, which is the entrance to the uterus from the vagina.
Removing these cells can prevent cervical cancer.
Most test results come back clear, however, one in 20 women show abnormal changes to the cells of their cervix.
In some cases, these need to be removed or can become cancerous.
Cervical cancer most commonly affects sexually-active women aged between 30 and 45.
In the UK, the NHS Cervical Screening Programme invites women aged 25-to-49 for a smear every three years, those aged 50 to 64 every five years, and women over 65 if they have not been screened since 50 or have previously had abnormal results.
Women must be registered with a GP to be invited for a test.
In the US, tests start when women turn 21 and are carried out every three years until they reach 65.
Changes in cervical cells are often caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), which can be transmitted during sex.
