Loose Women star clashes with co-star after cheating confession

Loose Women star clashes with co-star after cheating confession

Daily Mirror3 days ago
Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards got into a disagreement during Monday's Loose Women as they discussed the alleged affair exposed at a Coldplay gig.
Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards got into a heated disagreement during Monday's episode of Loose Women.

The broadcast legend, 78, was back in her usual slot as a panellist on ITV's lunchtime chat show and along with anchor Charlene White and co-star Katie Piper, she and X Factor' s Brenda Edwards were discussing the recent incident that saw a cheating couple exposed on cam. The clip saw Coldplay's Chris Martin turn a camera on the audience at his gig, showing a number of fans on the arena's kiss cam. The CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byron, and his HR Chief, Kristin Cabot, were spotted embracing each other at the band's concert in Boston, Massachusetts in a clip that has since gone viral across the globe.


After the married CEO resigned from the company and the company claimed that their standards had "not been met" by his actions, Brenda argued that he was "right to step down" simply because his trust was brought into question, but Janet demanded to know why having an affair would deem him unsuitable to run a company. Brenda admitted that she had met her ex-husband through work but claimed that the exposition of the alleged affair was all his own doing because he was in a public place.
Brenda ranted: "They were listening to Coldplay music and swaying, and both of them ducked. Why do ducking?" and when Katie tried to reason that care should be taken because there are children involved, Brenda laughed and insisted that should have been a consideration beforehand. Former newspaper editor Janet claimed that most of the places she has worked, the men in charge have conducted extramarital affairs with colleagues and while she refused to name any names, insisted that it goes on "all the time" in the workplace.

Janet, who has been married four times but has also been open about her own infidelity, added: "I find it extraordinary that companies have a moral code, because I don't actually care" and explained that the whole story has actually become a positive thing because it has boosted Astronomer's profile. When Brenda Janet added: "As someone who has had affairs, I would not be that judgemental. To me, I think it could be entirely innocent"
However, Brenda could not see Janet's point of view and she exploded: "Innocent?!" as she began to shout over her co-star and made her disapproval of the whole situation known. Katie tried to reason that perhaps they just didn't want to be seen as the kiss cam, but Brenda continued to argue her point until host Charlene had to bring the topic to a close.
After a poll revealed that 83 percent of viewers had "no sympathy" for the couple, Brenda confirmed that she felt sorry for the former CEO's wife, and Janet rang in the end of the topic by referencing Matt Hancock's infamous affair with aide Gina Coladangelo during his time as health secretary.

But Brenda's ranting did not go unnoticed by Loose Women viewers, and they flooded social media with their reaction to the debate. One wrote: "Calm the f*** down, Brenda! And what about the woman involved, hmm? Proper aggressive behaviour on display", whilst another said: "Brenda needs anger management therapy".
A concerned viewer said: "Being serious now, I really think Brenda needs some help, she is on the edge and really stressed, not normal behaviour," whilst another begged: "Would someone please tell Brenda to stop shouting? She seems aggrieved about every single thing!"
In the original viral video, the business mogul was seemingly oblivious to all but the music as he embraced his Head of HR from behind, moving in sync with the band's live performance. Yet, as soon as they realised they were up on the big screen, they abruptly let go, and quickly tried to duck out of the spotlight... but it was too late.

Chris Martin, after spotting them on the big screen, said: "Oh look at these two. Either they are having an affair or they're just really shy." A concertgoer, apparently sat behind the pair, caught a video of Coldplay singing their hit song Yellow. A sea of yellow lights, from people's wristbands, can be seen, but a loved-up pair were also caught in the shot, according to TMZ.
The pair, thought to be Byron and Cabot, can be seen with their arms around each other, and at one moment the man leans in for a smooch on the lips. This new angle appears to have captured a new level of intimacy between the colleagues, not on display for the whole stadium to see. In the original viral video, a lipreader claimed the tech boss said "F***ing hell, it's me", when their faces showed up on the big screen. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, lipreader Judi said: "Perhaps the worst thing about their body language here is that they made themselves into human catnip for social media by reacting so violently rather than just trying to style it out."
What's more, Grace Springer, the woman who p osted the original clip has since spoken out and claimed that she "didn't think much of it" in the momen t. Appearing on This Morning, she said: "So in the moment when I filmed it, I didn't think much of it but everyone was chattering. There was over 50,000 people at the concert. It wasn't until after the concert when I was debriefing the moment with my friends. We reviewed the footage to see if it really looked that bad and it really does."
When asked by Dermot whether she felt guilty about posting the video, she said: "I definitely feel for Andy's wife Megan and his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process."
