Charlie Hardwick joins Loose Women panel for Newcastle show

Tyneside actress Charlie Hardwick will be joining the cast of Loose Women as a special guest on their first ever live tour.

The Wallsend-born actress who is known for her roles as Val Pollard in Emmerdale, as well as Newcastle based film and television such as Byker Grove and Purely Belter, will be joining the tour for one night only in a Newcastle location.

On Wednesday, September 6 at the O2 City Hall, Hardwick will join the award-winning panel made up of fellow Geordie Denise Welch, Charlene White, Linda Robson and Jane Moore, as they celebrate 24 years of Loose Women.

The panel of women will swap the studio for the stage, as they laugh and tell never-before-heard stories, with more live entertainment and surprises to be revealed on the night.

Loose Women Live will hit the road next month, in the first ever tour of the daytime television series, which will be presented by Cuffe and Taylor (Live Nation) and Lambert Jackson in partnership with ITV.
