Loose Women regular Janet Street-Porter caused a bit of a stir among ITV's daytime viewers after she took a jab at her co-star Denise Welch during Tuesday's episode. The panel, which included Brenda Edwards and host Christine Lampard, were in the middle of a heated debate about whether parents should incentivise their children for exam success when Janet couldn't help but boast about her 11 'O' levels. Former Coronation Street star Denise shared a story from her own school days: "When I was doing my 'O' Levels, my mum and dad could have offered me the world and I would have still climbed down the drainpipe to go and be with my boyfriend.
I was awful as regards revising and studying and it just wasn't for me." After revealing that she achieved five 'O' Levels, Janet retorted: "Is that all?," leading Denise to admit that she had to resit needlework. Janet, always one to stir the pot, made sure to point out that one of Denise's five 'O' Levels was in needlework, followed by a chuckle.
Denise quickly responded with: "And we're all on the same show, thank you very much!"
