Loose Women was forced off air briefly after a protest by fathers' rights campaigners.
During a segment on Coleen Nolan’s health kick, Wednesday's show was forced to cut away to its Loose Women logo as three men began to chant: “Fathers for justice, no kids no cash, fathers for justice, no kids no cash.”
Despite cutting away momentarily, the show resumed less than 30 seconds later, with Nolan joking: “Can we get back to me?”
A spokeswoman for the show said: "The show was briefly interrupted today by three members of the audience who were making a peaceful protest."
A message from the show’s official Twitter account added: "Sorry for any disruption to your viewing”
Immediately after the incident was sorted out, Loose Women also tweeted: “*Apologies for that small interruption*”

Former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton, who sometimes appears on the show, praised the way the unexpected outburst was dealt with, especially for the fact that it "came back on air within seconds".
