Is Stephanie Davis Joining The Loose Women Panel?

Former Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis is set to be a guest panellist on Loose Women next week and could land a permanent place on the ITV daytime show if she impresses producers and viewers.

Stephanie – who has made regular guest appearances on the chat show where she shared her first baby scan – has been invited to take a temporary seat as a panellist alongside Ruth Langsford and co. for an upcoming episode.

A source told The Sun: “This is a great opportunity for Stephanie to impress producers, who will be watching her and the reaction from viewers closely. If they like her, she could become a permanent fixture.”

If Stephanie, 23, lands the role, she will be following in the footsteps of Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison, who was offered a permanent deal after first appearing as a guest, and Katie Price, who secured her spot in the same way.

This news comes after Sherrie Hewson, 65, announced her decision to leave the Loose Women panel live on air, in front of her emotional co-hosts Andrea McLean, Vicky Pattison and Coleen Nolan, earlier this month.

She tearfully explained: “I’m going to be leaving Loose Women because it’s kind of time, I’ve said everything there is. I’m leaving this seat so somebody else now can sit on this seat for 14 years and tell all their stories.”

With Steph’s pregnancy journey and impending motherhood, is she the perfect candidate for the coveted seat? Let us know what you think in the comments below or tweet us @YahooCelebUK!

Loose Women continues weekdays on ITV at 12.30pm.
