2 weeks agoUSA UpdateComments Off on Loose Women’s Kaye Adams breaks silence on ‘sleepless nights’ amid cuts
KAYE Adams has broken her silence on the chaos at Loose Women and admitted she has had sleepless nights over the cuts to the show’s airtime.
ITV announced dramatic changes to their daytime TV schedule last month, axing more than 220 jobs and making cuts to shows including Loose Women and Lorraine.

Speaking on her podcast How to be 60 Kaye said she felt as though ‘the rug had been pulled’ from underneath her.
Kaye, 62, confessed: “It did come out of the blue.
“I didn’t anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect. You get into a sort of rhythm of life.
“I had a couple of sleepless nights I have to say, because it’s just like the rug’s been pulled from under your feet – what has been familiar.”
Kaye, who is one of Loose Women’s main anchors, said: “It’s going to have an impact. Lots of people will lose their jobs completely which is terrible. It’s a huge change.
“But I gave myself a talking to and I listened to my own advice for once – change is hard, but it can be good.
“The past is a trap, don’t fear the future – I’m telling myself all these things. And maybe this is the nudge that I needed to make some changes in my life and I’ll just have to go with it.”
It has been rumoured that the pool of Loose Women panellists will be reduced as part of the cutbacks, which will be introduced from January.
Kaye, 62, who joined the Loose Women panel from its first series in 1999, said: “It’s well documented of course. They’re having to make cuts and it will affect Loose Women and to be perfectly honest we have no idea at this point what is going to happen.”
The popular presenter revealed that she has been planning to downsize from the family home she shares in Glasgow with her husband, tennis coach Ian Campbell, since their two daughters Charly, 22 and Bonnie, 18, moved out.
She said the Loose Women changes might give her the opportunity to concentrate on the move.
Speaking on the Midweek Catchup episode of How to be 60, out today, she told co-host Karen McKenzie: “I’ve been going on and on I’m going to downsize and make changes to my house.
“Maybe it’s going to give me a bit of time to focus on that and really spend some time on it.
“Funnily enough, I agreed ages ago to do this programme where they get people like me who are ready to get rid of big bits of furniture and downsize and they take them to an auction house and they sell them off and they film it.
“They asked me to earmark bits of furniture and different things that I was prepared to get rid of and so I agreed at the time, because I thought this is going to give me the impetus to really get going on the down-sizing.”
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.
Kaye joked that she hadn’t yet told her husband. “They’re coming with a truck and I haven’t told Ian. For the last week I keep going to start the conversation with him – ‘by the way, there’s a film crew coming and I’ve told them that they can have that sideboard, that chair, that desk.’ I haven’t told him yet!
“But if I didn’t tell him and he came back tomorrow night, he wouldn’t notice. He might if the sofa was gone or the television, but that’s about it!”
Kaye set up the How to be 60 podcast three years ago with friend and former BBC colleague Karen McKenzie. The weekly podcast features interviews with big name guests including Alan Cumming, Michelle Collins and Shane Richie, as well as conversations about how the guests view and approach the big 6-0.
The midweek catchup episode features chat and banter between the two co-hosts as well as reflections on their lives.
Kaye, who also presents a daily show on BBC Radio Scotland, added that she was now trying to put a positive spin on the Loose Women cutbacks, rather than worry about them.
She said: “So, all change. It’s good for us. I’m going to embrace it.”
Kaye is the third Loose Women panellist to break cover and speak out about the impact of the cuts.
Last month panellist Nadia Sawalhachoked back tears as she said: “What’s been brutal, absolutely brutal, over the last week, honestly, I feel tearful about it, is that hundreds of people… are going to be made redundant out of the blue.
“These are all the people behind the scenes that support us in every way.”

A YOUNG woman has been left heartbroken after allegedly discovering her now ex-boyfriend was just one of more than 1,000 men that took part in Bonnie Blue’s record-breaking sex marathon.
Stevie Kennedy, who is now describing herself as a “hot new bombshell” after recently dumping her ex, claimed that her partner at the time had sex with the controversial OnlyFans model, 25, earlier this year.

Spencer Clinton/The U.S. SunBonnie Blue claimed to have bonked 1,057 men back in January[/caption]
She invited “barely legal and barely breathing” men to the London eventTikTok/@bonnieblue_xox
Posting on social media, the brunette claimed she “had a bad feeling” that her boyfriend at the time was being unfaithful, so decided to go through his phone.
But the content creator who normally “respects” people’s privacy, said she was devastated when she realised that her boyfriend at the time had cheated on her with Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger.
In a short clip which has since gone viral, Stevie filmed herself holding back tears and shaking her head, as she got candid on her boyfriend’s alleged infidelity.
Stevie wrote: “This is your sign to go through his phone.
“I found out my boyfriend of five years cheated on me with Bonnie Blue.
“He was one of the 1,000 men in 24 hours.”
Not only had Stevie and her boyfriend at the time been together for five years, she claimed, but they they were even “planning to get married” too.
As a result, Stevie slammed: “Never talking to a male ever again.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @steviekennedyy, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 6.8 million views.
Not only this, but it’s also amassed one million likes, 8,789 comments, 29,600 saves and 83,100 shares.
Who is Bonnie Blue?
Born in May 1999, Bonnie – whose real name is Tia Billinger – grew up in a small Derbyshire village, and attended the Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre.
She has two half-siblings – a sister and a brother – who have always remained out of the public eye.
She never knew her biological father, and considers stepfather Nicholas Elliott her dad.
Bonnie also became something of a dance star in her local area, and competed in the British Street Dance Championships alongside her sister back in 2015.
She also had a part-time job at Poundstretcher as a teenager.
After school, she began working in recruitment.
In October 2022, Bonnie married Oliver Davidson, who she had started dating when she was just 15.
Once they were married, they moved to Australia, where Bonnie continued working in recruitment.
However, it was in Australia that she decided to pursue a different line of work, and tried her luck as a ‘cam girl’ – crediting Oliver for giving her the confidence to enter the adult entertainment world.
She quickly made a name for herself in the industry, and was soon making £5,000 a week.
But while her work life was going from strength to strength, her relationship was crumbling, and she and Oliver split after almost a decade together.
She moved over to OnlyFans following her cam girl success, and once again found fame on there.
She quickly became a favourite on the site, especially thanks to her “niche” of sleeping with young male students – such as when she bedded 158 students during Nottingham Trent University’s freshers week in September 2024.
Bonnie is now estimated to be worth £3 million, and makes around £600,000 a month on OnlyFans.
Her family are also supportive of her work, with mum Sarah Billinger even claiming she’s her daughter’s PA, and helps clean up after Bonnie’s events – as well as handing out condoms to young clients.
In January 2025, Bonnie claimed to have broken the world record for the most amount of sex in 12 hours, after apparently sleeping with 1,057 men from 1pm to 1am at a secret London event.
Social media users were horrified by the woman’s claims and many eagerly rushed to the comments to share their thoughts on the situation, with numerous users urging her to “get tested” and “sue” her ex-partner.
One person said: “I would never feel clean ever again.”
Go get tested immediately girl

Another added: “Cheating is bad enough but cheating in THAT way is INSANE, hope you’re okay girl.”
A third commented: “Coming from a man, if he did that, you’re better off without him.”
Four red flags your partner is cheating
Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating.
They start to take their phone everywhere with them
In close relationships, it’s normal to know each other’s passwords and use each other’s phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something.
Aaron says: “If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful.”
“You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something.”
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
“If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don’t want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag.”
“Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it’s an easy way to get caught out,” says Aaron.
Their libido changes
Your partner’s libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron.
Aaron says: “Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before.”
They become negative towards you
Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify.
“To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven’t walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating,” warns Aaron.
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “Sue him for endangering your health. Your prince is out there, be glad you found out before the wedding instead of after.”
Not only this, but one woman advised: “Go get tested immediately girl.”
At the same time, another user sighed: “I forget that those 1,000 dudes are real people that walk among us.”

GETTING on the property ladder can be extremely tough, but Amazon could have the answer.
The retailer is selling a two-bedroom tiny home for just $9,035 – and it comes with a fully equipped kitchen.
AmazonAmazon is selling a two-bedroom tiny home for $9k[/caption]
AmazonThe home includes a ‘complete kitchen setup’[/caption]
AmazonThere’s plenty of space to entertain guests[/caption]
The ‘off-grid’, prefab home has a modern look and is said to be ideal for “sustainable living.”
You can design the exact configuration of the tiny home so it is customized to suit your needs – whether you want to live in your home or use it for other purposes.
The listing states that it could also be used as a guest house or office space if you require extra room.
The Amazon description reads: “Whether you’re seeking a permanent residence, a vacation getaway, or an off-grid retreat, this tiny home provides a versatile and affordable housing solution.”
Thankfully it also comes with numerous amenities.
These include a “complete kitchen setup and a full bathroom, ensuring all essential amenities are at your disposal.”
The home is also said to be “durable” and is made from weather-resistant materials so you can have a “safe and comfortable living environment in any climate.”
QUICK DELIVERY
You won’t have to wait long for your delivery to arrive either.
Orders are processed within a few business days, with the home arriving this month.
While $9,035 is not cheap, it could be a way of getting on the property ladder.

Alternatively, you could use the home to rent out for some extra cash as a side hustle.
BOOMING MARKET
Tiny homes have boomed in popularity in the United States over the past decade, mainly down to affordability and sustainability reasons, and the desire for minimalist living.
They offer a path to homeownership for those unable to afford larger properties or who wish to avoid debt.
Millennials and Generation X are the primary adopters of tiny homes, with the majority of tiny home dwellers being between 30 and 50 years old.
The tiny home market has grown over the past decade, and is projected to reach $23.7 billion by 2026.
What is a tiny home?
Technically, a tiny home is any house measuring under 400 square feet.
Many tiny homes are built on trailers so they can be towed anywhere, and some are converted from old school buses or vans.
Each state has its own rules about tiny homes, but, generally, they are not subject to the same taxes as regular homes.
However, Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Wisconsin, and West Virginia have made tiny homes illegal as permanent dwellings.
And Walmart sells a seven ounce bar for $24 – marked down from the original $28.99 price.
The Trader Joe’s version was revealed on Reddit to a wave of excitement and shock at the price.
The user wrote: “Saw this on my TikTok posted by an employee!
“They said it should be in stores starting 5/28.”
And in the comments, one eager fan said: “Thank you, TJ! Got my daughter a $30 Dubai chocolate bar for her birthday. This is much better!.”
While someone else added: “Omg! I’ve never tried this chocolate before so I’m excited.”
CHOCOLATE COMPETITION
But a new supermarket chain is trying its hand at Dubai Chocolate, and it could wipe Trader Joe’s away.
Dubai Chocolate Bar Craze
The iconic Dubai Chocolate Bar has taken the internet by storm.
It went viral in December 2023 thanks to TikToker Maria Vehera’s video showing her indulging in the Middle Eastern treat, which has since garnered over 6.9 million likes.
The original Dubai Chocolate Bar, called Can’t Get Knafeh of It, was created by Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai.
Vehera’s post sparked a craze among sweet tooths, who were quickly disappointed to realize that the decadent treat was expensive and hard to find.
Many social media users have whipped up copycat versions and homemade Dubai chocolate bars to get a taste of the treat.
Starbucks even launched a Dubai Chocolate Bar Matcha Latte inspired by the dessert, which has high demand and limited availability in the states.
Several retailers have begun selling versions of the chocolate bar as well to capitalize on the trend.
In an email sent to The US Sun, a rep for Lidl US revealed that the company is launching its own bar on Friday, June 13.
It will be selling for $12.99 a bar or two for $20 while supllies last.
The representative described the Dubai Chocolate as being ” filled with rich, creamy milk chocolate (like the original recipe) and stuffed with an ooey-gooey kadayif + pistachio cream center.
“It’s the same dreamy combo that made this bar a full-blown cult obsession – and now it’s hitting US shelves.”
And even better, the Lidl version will be twice the size of Trader Joe’s.
So while it will cost you more than Trader Joe’s, you are getting more bang for your buck.
If you’re interested in seeing what Lidl‘s Dubai Chocolate offers, get down to your nearest store while stock lasts.

Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were found dead at a campground in Washington state on Monday after their mom reported them missing on Friday.
Cops are still searching for Decker, 32, who is accused of killing his daughters during a planned custody visit on Friday.
Near where the girls’ bodies were found, cops located Decker’s white 2017 GMC Sierra truck, which he was reportedly living out of at the time of the gruesome crime.
His car was found abandoned with two bloody handprints, police records show.
It’s unclear who left the handprints.
Personal items like car seats, blankets, food, and a wallet were left on the center console of the truck.
Cops said the campsite showed signs of being recently used as a tent was set up with a cooler.
The girls’ bodies were found at around 5 pm on Monday near the Rock Island Campground in Wenatchee, which is about three hours east of Seattle.
Decker’s cell phone activity showed he went to the same campground a day before the kidnapping, police records said.
He picked his daughters up from their mom, Whitney Decker, at around 5 pm on Friday for a scheduled three-hour visit.
In interviews with police, Whitney recalled that her ex-husband was “quieter than usual” during the exchange, which was “out of character” for him.
She also told cops that he had been considering getting rid of his dog due to housing and financial struggles.
Decker is a veteran who cops say is mentally unstable. He had been homeless and living out of his truck and hotels.
