Loose Women star gives health update as she promises return to ITV1 show soon
Loose Women has been missing one of its main presenters as she recovers from hip surgery. Janet Street Porter, who is known for having very strong opinions on the show, has undergone hip replacement surgery and is currently in recovery from the operation.
Posting a photo of her out of hospital and walking along the seafront and holding just one crutch Janet said: "I'm walking without crutches now! This one is to fend off irritating kids on scooters... said hi to my gang on Loose Women today - back soon xx."
Some of Janet's Loose Women co-stars commented on the post. Ruth Langsford said: "Well I wouldn't like to get in your way!! Looking good X" and Coleen Nolan said: "Can't wait to have you back" followed by a red love heart emoji. Denise Welch said: "Yay!!!!!"

Before undergoing her operation Janet admitted on Loose Women that she felt nervous while talking to fellow panellist Coleen about her surgery. Coleen shared her emotional reaction, stating: "You know this morning when we were talking about it – it made me really sad because you always put on this tough image that nothing does your back in and at one point today you said: 'I'm really scared' and I could have cried my eyes out."
Janet, holding back tears, confessed: "I am vulnerable and, you know what, it's my own fault because they told me in March to have it done but I delayed it. But then at the weekend I had some vegetables delivered and even though I shouldn't I was on all fours planting them."
Janet added: "I realised that I let myself get too weak and I've never been like this in my life and it's just so irritating." For the latest TV and showbiz news sign up to our newsletter.
