To the delight of very few, Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter has revealed her bowel movements are back on track.
The presenter was given a round of applause as she informed the studio audience and her fellow panelists a recent bout of constipation had passed.
Viewers at home, however, were not as impressed – with one tweeting the show had plumbed new depths and “sunk lower than ever”.

She said: “I can now exclusively reveal – well, not that exclusively because I’ve told everyone I’ve seen – there has been movement.”
Clarifying, a giggling Andrea added: “A movement of the bowel kind, for those of you who don’t know what Janet’s talking about.”
Fellow panelist Stacey Solomon congratulated Janet, saying: “Oh that’s wonderful.”

A relieved Janet said she had become backed up over the last few weeks due to painkilling medication she’d needed after having a knee replacement operation.
She also said she had taken four laxatives after visiting a restaurant and “couldn’t leave the house” the next morning.
Asked by Stacey how long she had been constipated for, Janet replied: “Let’s just say a small part of bread was living up in my body.”
Viewers were not quite as riveted by Janet’s update, with many tweeting their displeasure at the chat.
