Fans were disappointed whenLoose Women wrapped up earlier than usual on Friday – but ITV has a very good reason! The show, which is usually an hour long, was cut to just half an hour due to the Epsom Derby 2019 taking place for 1.30pm. As such, Loose Women had to be cut short to make time for the ITV lunchtime news ahead of the three and a half hour racing event.

The official Loose Women Twitter account tweeted: "Did you save Brenda's brother's life? Last year, Brenda's brother collapsed in Bristol and was unconscious, until a man stopped to give him CPR and saved his life! Brenda's been trying to find the hero to thank him ever since, but to no avail - can you help?"
