The revelations came as GK, who joined as the show’s youngest ever panellist, revealed how she was intimidated by some of the longer-serving cast.
Discussing the feeling on the podcast Olivia’s House, she shared: “There’s some panellists I still won’t clap back to [even after a year], and I said to them [the team] don’t introduce me to Janet [Street-Porter] for at least six months.”
Olivia prompted GK to share her first “Janet experience” before she reeled off an anecdote about one of her first days on the job.
“So she [Janet] went, ‘Is this your glam team?’ and I went, “‘Yeah’.

“And she went, ‘Well you need them, even when you go to Tesco?’ and I went, ‘Well I’m on telly so I probably will have my glam team.’
“She was like, ‘They’re not standing here.’
“And I said, ‘Janet, I’m sorry. They’ve said they can stand here. They’re standing here.’
“And after that, she was really nice to me.”
Olivia then reveal a story where she was “hazed in a similar way” for the way she was dressed.
“It was my outfit. And by the sounds of it, you did what I did. You got to play chicken with her.
“You’ve got to literally look her straight down the barrel and be like, “‘Come on sister, let’s go,’ and then she kind of respects you.
“So, I think my first show with her she… I was just really overly dressed up for Loose [Women] in the beginning.
“Like I look back now and it’s a bit cringe. I looked like I was going to a red carpet.
“There were a few looks, I was just doing too much for 11 o’clock on a weekday morning.
“And she [Janet] was like, ‘Are you going to get ready or is that what you’re wearing?’
“I can’t remember how I worded it but I was like, ‘I’ll get changed only if you promise to’ or something, but I didn’t know her at all.
“And then one of the producers, Ashley, was like, ‘Yeah, that’s the way to do it.’”
Janet Street-Porter has been part of Loose Women’s furniture since 2011.
In July 2024, she celebrated doing her 1000th episode of the programme, and she still continues to this day at the age of 79.
