The television star shared: “I don’t want anything at all. I don’t want a funeral because I don’t see the point.

“I don’t care, I’ll be dead! When I kick the bucket, send me to the funeral home.”

Janet, 74, added: “I cannot bare the idea of having a family funeral… not that I have any family left.”

The conversation then turned to the topic of open caskets.

Gloria explained that her family often have open caskets at funerals, and would most likely do the same.

The radio presenter went on: “A lot of people don’t like the thought of open coffins, but personally in my family everything is open coffin.”

Gloria, why not have the coffin in the studio?!

Janet then suggested for Gloria to have an open coffin in the studio after she dies.

She joked: “Gloria, why not have the coffin in the studio?! The first one of the Loose Women to go to the other side.”

Gloria initially giggled at Janet’s remark, before adding: “Don’t wish me off too soon!”
