There's been a lot of rumours recently about the cast of Loose Women, and whether or not they get on.
Following a report that certain stars were refusing to sit on the panel if Coleen Nolan was on the show, many have spoken out to deny feud claims.
Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Judi Love added that the group were very supportive off-screen.
"I find it so strange that when I am asked about Loose Women, the first thing that's usually asked is who doesn't get on with who," she wrote in her OK! Magazine column.
"Why, when it comes to all-female workplaces, do people expect some kind of drama?
"There always seems to be an attempt to establish negativity or competition between women.
"In reality, female colleagues create a sisterhood of understanding, friendship and support."
She added: "I have learnt so much from women in my industry, many of whom have reached out, offered advice and been my biggest cheerleaders.
"When I lost my dad last year, the Loose Women team were so supportive. I feel privileged that I get to work with such amazing, talented women!"
Nolan previously responded to the rumours, saying they "really hurt".
"The girls have been so supportive – besides, none of us on Loose Women have ever said we wouldn't work with anyone else. It was just so upsetting," she said.
She continued: "Brenda [Edwards], Ruth [Langsford] and Janet [Street Porter] are the ones I'm always talking to. But I love Christine [Lampard]. I left her out last time and she said, 'I thought I was your friend!'
"I get on with all of them. I would never refuse to work with anybody.
"I could never be 'high and mighty' because my mother would jump up from her grave and batter me. I can't stand divas of any kind. I've had enough drama in my life, I don't need any more!
"This is my time to enjoy myself, and I'm not going to let anyone spoil it. I just want a quiet life with [her partner] Michael, feeding my goats and doing Loose Women."
Loose Women airs on weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.
