Sweeping changes announced earlier this month mean the female-led, lunchtime talk show will only air for 30 weeks a year.
So, it's a good job Judi, 44, has bagged herself a lucrative podcasting gig to keep the cash rolling in.
The comedian announced on Instagram today that the first episode of Our Table will be released tomorrow.
Fellow Loose Woman Charlene White is joining her, along with actor David Gyasi, comedian Michelle Deswarte and actress Deborah Ayorinde.
She wrote: "Our Table will launch on Friday, the 30th, on YouTube and all major podcast platforms!
"We have an exciting series lined up, featuring incredible guests and engaging conversations. Join us at Our Table!! #Ourtable #JudiLove."
A second post saw the Strictly star posed with her special guests ahead of the series premiere.
The Sun previously revealed how Loose Women is in chaos backstage with some of the stars doing the show 'through gritted teeth' as they face a 60 per cent pay cut.
An insider told us: 'It's very tense backstage as the cast are all fuming. It's like they're putting on a brave face and doing the show through gritted teeth.
'Some people's pay could be cut by 60% as some get paid by the episode and they'll be slashed next year.
ITV Daytime Shake-Up: Major Changes to Lorraine and Loose Women Revealed
'For some it's their main source of income and it's worrying to everyone.'
This comes after an ITV source revealed: "We are not planning any radical changes to the panel.
"All of our Loose Women are hugely valued and we celebrate each and every one and the experience and opinions they bring to the show every day.
"Many of our long standing panellists have appeared on the show for the majority of its 25 year run on screens and those stalwart, Loose legends are at the core of the show's success and hugely popular with the audience.
"The show remains a big priority within our daytime slate, having secured a BAFTA nomination, launched a podcast and celebrated a milestone anniversary in the last year alone."
MORE ITV CUTS
Loose Women isn't the only show affected by recently announced changes at ITV, that will come into play in 2026.
Lorraine Kelly's show has been cut to just 30 minutes a day and will also only air for 30 weeks of the year.
Good Morning Britain, with hosts including Susanna Reid, Ed Balls and Kate Garraway, will take half an hour from Lorraine and will run from 6am to 9.30am.
More than 220 jobs will be lost as part of the shake-up — almost half of the 450 employed on the four flagship shows GMB, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women.
ITV's daytime TV schedule changes in full
Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily.
Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.
During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am.
This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year.
Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.
The changes will take effect from January 2026.

KSI reveals he's been flooded with DMs from older ladies since appearing as a judge on Britain's Got Talent
KSI has revealed his role as a judge on Britain's Got Talent has earned him a legion of new older admirers. The YouTube sensation, 31, bagged the position on the popular ITV Saturday night TV show earlier this year and his inclusion has certainly been a hit with fans. But while KSI has been much-loved by younger generations for years, his decision to move into mainstream television has now also earned him the respect of an older age group. He told The Sun: 'I have always had mature women sliding into my DMs but I'd say BGT has definitely sky-rocketed the DMs, and them recognising me more.' In fact the increased adulation KSI has received from the new-found older section of his fan base even inspired the chorus of his new track, Catch Me If You Can. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. After teasing the track for weeks on his social media accounts, KSI at last released his latest single on Thursday. He raps: 'Million-dollar smile, baby that's the brand/ go and ask your mum, yeah she know who I am.' And it seems fans could be treated to more music from the Prime owner, with him revealing that's sitting on a heap of unreleased tracks. 'I am always working on music, so I have a lot of songs I feel are a better fit for a season, or how I feel,' he said. However the rapper's previous release titled Thick Of It, which came out in October 2024, was 'clowned' by supporters following its release - with Jack Whitehall even taking a jibe at the tune while presenting the BRITs. KSI himself even joked that he 'couldn't believe' the song featuring Trippie Redd was nominated for Song of the Year. 'When I got the message I laughed,' he said on the red carpet in March. 'When I released the song I was getting clowned, people online were meme-ing the song saying, "what is this, this isn't good" blah blah blah. 'But people kept listening to it, people kept streaming it and as soon as I got that BRIT nomination it was the cherry on top. 'It put a smile to my face.' Amid his various endeavours into music and television, KSI had been scheduled to step into the ring again in March to take on Dillon Danis in a Misfits boxing event. However following a huge amount of back and forth trash talk online between the pair, KSI was forced to pull out of the bout just one week before fight night at the end of March. The fighter claimed his body had 'given up' after weeks of illness. But a couple of days later he was spotted in the VIP section of an Usher concert at the 02 arena in London, prompting a furious response from his opponent. Sharing a clip of KSI, Danis wrote: 'You can't make this s*** up. '@KSI faked the sniffles. He's a scared little b****. I was told he couldn't get out of bed, and he's out on the night of the fight? WTF.' Despite the fight supposedly being postponed rather than cancelled, a new date has yet to be announced.

Kylie Jenner insists 'people don't know the half of anything' as she responds to criticism about herself in candid new interview
She's one of the most famous people in the world, living her life through a camera lens on her family reality show, while 393 million fans follow her every move on Instagram. But despite being in the spotlight 24/7, Kylie Jenner has insisted that 'people don't know the half of anything' as she responds to criticism about herself in a candid new interview. As part of the famous Kardashian-Jenner clan, the make-up mogul, 27, attracts her fair share of comments and criticism from followers and naysayers alike, but instead of letting things get her down, Kylie brushes off the negatively. Speaking to Dazed, the stunner remarked: 'Ninety per cent of the time, whether it's negative or positive, people just don't know the half of anything. So it's hard to take advice from people who don't know you.' The star takes a similar approach when asked if she feels she's judged too harshly, noting: 'I honestly think I'm so used to it, and I just don't really care what people say. Also, you know, other people's opinions of me have never affected my personal life, how my friends view me, how my kids view me, how my family views me, or the success of my business.'

They were first romantically linked in early 2023 and confirmed their relationship with a PDA-filled appearance at Beyoncé's Renaissance show in Los Angeles later that same year.

Despite their many public appearances, The Kardashians star — who shares daughter Stormi, seven, and son Aire, three, with ex Travis Scott — and her beau only recently made their red carpet debut together at the David Di Donatello ceremony in Rome, Italy.

Former EastEnders star Joe Absalom looks totally unrecognisable as he joins the cast of Emmerdale
Former EastEnders star Joe Absalom is returning to our screens this summer on Emmerdale - and he looks unrecognisable 25 years after he left the BBC soap. The actor, 46, played Matthew Rose, a character who was framed for the murder of Saskia Duncan (Deborah Sheridan-Taylor), in Walford more than a quarter of a century ago between 1997 and 2000. He has since starred in a number of different shows, including ITV 's Doc Martin as AI large and Casualty. The actor is now making his return to soap television, joining the cast of Emmerdale as Ray, an old contact of the Mackenzie family who turns out to be a drug dealer. And in new photos released by ITV to promote his new gig, Joe looked understandably unrecognisable from his time in Walford all those years ago. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The actor, who had long floppy hair and a freshly shaven face when he played Matthew, is now sporting a shorter trim and a shaped grey beard. He's a far cry from his previous boyish visage and mousy middle-parting, with his salt and pepper locks giving him a decidedly more rugged look. Ahead of his debut on Emmerdale farm, the show's producer Laura Shaw said: 'We are thrilled to welcome Joe Absalom to the cast. 'It's fantastic to have such a high calibre and immensely talented actor join our wonderful team to play the role of Ray. 'Charming, charismatic and effortlessly likeable, Ray is an extremely complex character who very quickly shows his dark and villainous side to some of our most loved villagers, leaving them in no doubt as to what he's capable of.' Joe commented: 'Well what an honour to join such a talented team at Emmerdale! It's an iconic show and I'm grateful to be part of it. I can't wait to see what's in stock for Ray!' Recently the actor has been spotted in ITV's new crime drama Code Of Silence, which premiered on Sunday May 18. The six-part series sees a deaf waitress (Rose Ayling-Ellis) pulled into an investigation to help with her lip-reading skills. Joe stars in the gripping thriller as Braden Moore. ITV's announcement that the 46-year-old Brit will be joining Emmerdale comes on the same week that the broadcaster poached another seasoned BBC soap actor. Jaye Griffiths, 61, who previously starred in Casualty and Doctors, will be joining the northern-based soap as a farmer called Celia in the coming months. Her alter-ego, who is renting a neighbouring farm from Kim Tate, is introduced when she enquires about renting two of Moira Dingle (Natalie J. Robb) fields - but Moira isn't interested. Moira is later glad she didn't give in when Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) is viciously attacked by Celia's guard dogs under suspicious circumstances. Speaking about her upcoming role, Jaye said: 'I was delighted to get this role - without giving the game away she is very different to anyone I have played before and I can't wait to really get into the heart of her storyline.' Earlier this month it was revealed Coronation Street and Emmerdale are set to make soap history with a landmark crossover episode. Fans of the ITV soaps will be over the moon to know that characters from Weatherfield and The Dales will be teaming up for a dramatic stunt that will change their lives forever. The crossover, which will be a one-off special hour-long episode, is to mark the channel's new power hour of soap - which starts in January next year. The new collaboration is set to launch the new ITV1 and STV scheduling pattern. ITV's press release explains: 'The distinctive worlds of Emmerdale and Coronation Street will merge for one night only in a 'mash-up' of our two favourite communities. 'The producers, scriptwriters and production teams have conceived an ingenious way of linking the two universes, but with characters then returning to the soaps they are renowned for inhabiting in Manchester and Yorkshire. 'The episode will be self-contained, but the consequences of the high-stakes drama will have repercussions for both communities and see them linked forever as familiar faces depart and exciting new characters arrive into both soaps.' Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
