Today's (August 29) Loose Women was apparently set to feature panellist Coleen Nolan burying the hatchet with her former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Kim Woodburn.
What actually happened was a huge row broke out, with Coleen and sister Linda accusing the cleaner and TV personality of being "talentless" and "vile", while Kim retorted that Coleen was "trash".
What to Read Next
Viewers were hugely divided on whether the four panellists had "ganged up" on Kim, or if she was deliberately antagonising them. Others wondered how much of the episode was pre-planned or set up.

Via a statement on her Twitter, Coleen has insisted that producers booked Kim to be on the same episode as her and that she had no say in the matter.
The statement reads: "For clarity - Coleen did not ask for Kim Woodburn to come on the show nor ask to be reunited with her - @loosewomen organised the show.
"Coleen has no say in their choice of guests - Coleen stayed as calm as possible whilst being insulted live on air which was incredibly unpleasant."
Coleen's own son Shane tweeted that he thought Kim was "clearly not in the right mental state" to appear on the show, but he thought it made for "great television".
A spokesperson for Loose Women told Digital Spy:"Kim agreed to come onto the panel today at the invitation of the producers on the understanding it was for a reconciliation with Coleen.
"Kim becoming upset was never the intention and the panel did endeavour to comfort her. She was offered counselling after the show, which she declined."
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV.
