Loose Women slammed by fans for 'gossiping' about Zoe Ball's love life: 'So invasive'

LOOSE Women did not go down well with fans today.

By Sasha Morris /

The cast discussed presenter Zoe Ball, who was pictured with a man seven months after the death of her boyfriend Billy Yates.

Andrea McLean, Lisa Riley, Gloria Hunniford and Stacey Solomon debated if there was a right time to move on after losing a loved one.

Lisa, who is good friends with Zoe, admitted that Zoe had felt a lot of guilt after Billy's death, but that she was glad to see a smile on her face again.

    While the women were balanced in their discussion, fans were left uncomfortable as they began to debate introducing partners to children and having serious relationships, making them think they were gossiping about Zoe, who began dating Billy following her separation from Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim.

    One fan said: "Imagine being Zoe Ball and having the details of your private life discussed by random women who don't know you on national TV - embarrassing, invasive and so rude."

    Another added: "You women are so judgemental, it's not cool to be gossiping about Zoe Ball."

      A third chipped in: "Here's a good idea keep your nose out of something that has none of your business. Its her life."

      A fourth wrote: "When a person is grieving you don’t talk about her on tv!!"

      But one said: "As long as Zoe is happy, that is the important thing, it is nice to have people that care."
