Loose Women is set to welcome three new regular panellists to the show.

A trio of faces were unveiled on Twitter ahead of the ‘new season’ of the ITV chat show.

The X Factor’s Stacey Solomon will be joining the show alongside former EastEnders actress and pop star Martine McCutcheon.

The pair recently filmed a Carpool Karaoke-style video together for the ITV show.

Also lined up is TV presenter Lisa Riley, who appeared on the show in recent weeks to reveal her ten stone weight loss.

The additions come following news that long time presenter Sherrie Hewson will be leaving Loose Women after 14 years.

Hewson’s final stint on the show is due to air on Monday September 5, after which she will be pursuing an acting career.

“I had a chance to go to Hollywood early in my career but I turned it down and I always wondered whether I’d done the right thing,” she told The Mirror.

“I have a friend who’s a casting director in LA and he sent me an email saying I’d be perfect for work over there now.

“Acting has always been my passion and I take it really seriously, so I think it’s time for me to go back to that full time.”

The show returns on ITV at 12.30pm.
