Mike Tindall, Ore Oduba, and Iain Stirling will make up the panel as 'Loose Women' rebrands as 'Loose Men' tomorrow.

Vernon Kay will host the ITV special, which will air on International Men's Day (19.11.21), and model David Gandy will be a guest on the show as the all-male line-up discuss subjects that really matter to men.

Former pro rugby union player Mike said: "I am looking forward to being on 'Loose Men', talking about some really important issues facing men.

"Being a rugby player from the north, I think I would probably have a reputation as being strong and just getting on with it, but that doesn't always work and all of us need to talk about things. This is a great chance to do that."

Host Vernon said: "I'm really looking forward to anchoring the International Men's Day 'Loose Men' and tackling the issues facing modern men today.

"From mental health to fatherhood and family, we won't leave any taboo subject uncovered."

It comes a year after 'Loose Women' handed the panel over to an all-male line-up - which featured 'Love Island' narrator Iain - for the first time.

Iain said: "It's a genuine honour to be back on the 'Loose Men' panel. Last time, it felt like we made something really important.

"The rest of the panel are legends - I'm hoping to get in their Insta Stories as it will do wonders for my 'engagement', which to this day I still don't know what that is.

"Men's mental health is important because it affects us all and isn't necessarily clearly visible. So, to get any sort of help you need to articulate what's wrong. And for many that vocabulary still isn't regularly used or available. This show can go some way to helping that."

Former 'Strictly Come Dancing' winner Ore Oduba feels "proud" to have been asked onto the 'Loose Men' panel.

He said: "I've been a huge fan of Loose Women for as long as I can remember ... I'm so excited to be on the panel, it'll be loads of fun.

"I'm really proud to be discussing the issues that affect us guys psychologically and emotionally."

Loose Women's Editor Sally Shelford said: "Last year we were bowled over by the huge response from viewers to our first-ever 'Loose Men' to mark International Men's Day.

"Hearing from some of the UK's most-famous faces opening up about mental health, bullying and body shaming, kick-started so many important conversations. We simply had to do it again.

"This year's amazing 'Loose Men' line up of Vernon, Iain, Mike and Ore promises to shine a light on even more topics affecting men today - from ageing to relationships and fatherhood, expect eye-opening conversations and lots of laughs along the way."

Watch 'Loose Men' tomorrow at 12:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
