Sue Cleaver and Coleen Nolan locked horns as the Loose Women panel discussed weight loss during Monday’s episode of the ITV show.

The latest instalment of the lunch time programme saw Coleen, 60, Sue, 61, Jane Moore, 63, and Gloria Huniford, 85, return to the studio.

The panel discussed a number of topics this afternoon (2 June 2025), including if someone should admit to taking a weight loss injection.

Anchor Coleen explained that chef Rosemary Shrager recently shredded three stone after exercising more, eating healthy and with help from Ozempic.

When Coleen asked Sue if you should be honest if you have used one, Sue – who showed off her incredible three stone weight loss last year – said: ‘I have really strong feelings about this because as a person who has been every size under the sun, after I got on the scales the other day, I am going that way again.

‘I’ve always had a real issue about the whole society’s complete obsession about what every body looks like.

Sue, pictured back in 2018, said: ‘I have really strong feelings about this because as a person who has been every size under the sun’

‘Especially women to other women.

‘I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced this, having been different shapes and different sizes, I hate it when I’ve gone into a room and someone has gone “Oh my God! You look amazing, you’ve lost so much weight!”

‘What? I looked like a dog before?’

But Coleen chimed in: ‘I’m for that! I’m for that! Because probably, I did!

‘If I’d gone to the trouble of losing three stone I want somebody to notice.’

Sue, who left her role as Eileen Grimshaw on Coronation Street last week, hit back: ‘I’m sorry but that is exactly the problem.

‘The problem is, rather than headlines “Who has done this, who has done that”, it’s no one’s business.

‘Everyone is critiqued  towards the culture that makes people think and feel unworthy in the first place that they have to do this sort of stuff.’

Sue chimed in later on in the discussion: ‘I think there is a real judgement about it, it’s ok for everyone to be conflicted about should you take it, shouldn’t you take it’

Coleen replied: ‘I think it’s a personal thing?’

Jane explained: ‘I love the fact she’s [Rosie] being honest about taking Ozempic.

‘But what she’s also doing, cycling, eating healthily, if you combine those things together, you’re going to cost the NHS a lot less money.’

Sue chimed in later on in the discussion: ‘I think there is a real judgement about it, it’s okay for everyone to be conflicted  about should you take it, shouldn’t you take it.

‘It’s not okay to shame people for doing something they need to do in a fatphobic society.’

Coleen added that she doesn’t think anyone is being shamed, to which Sue explained that one of her friends has been and he wished that he never told anyone he had taken them.

Jane said: ‘He needs to get new friends.’

Coleen explained: ‘If I was using it, I would tell people. Just for people who are struggling. I met people in the past who were losing weight and I was on this mad diet and exercise and it was like two pounds a week.

‘I was bumping into a friend of mine who was losing a stone a week, who said “No no, I am just eating healthy,” and then eight months down the line I found out she’d had gastric surgery – which is fine.

‘But I was so frustrated. I thought I’m doing it all wrong.

Gloria then said to Sue: ‘Sue, you said, you hate people mentioning it, I have read articles about you in magazines when you lost the weight and you were looking amazing in the pictures, quoted you were saying how much better you were feeling…

‘Why be ashamed of it?’

Sue told her co-star: ‘I’m not ashamed of that.

‘What I don’t like is this constant obsession is what size people are. There is an obsession.

‘I know having been at the other end, how painful it can be and what it feels like. I don’t like that.’
