Tuesday’s episode saw the panelists discuss whether singing helps to keep people young.  

A clip of them dresses as Girls Aloud in gold sequined dresses was played before Andrea warned viewers to ‘brace themselves’ for the next video.

Four Loose Woman panellists, Andrea, Nadia Sawalha, Denise Welch and Saira Khan had sung This Is Me, a song from The Greatest Showman, as part of Gareth Malone’s choir when he was a guest on their show in November last year. 

And as soon as footage of the moment started playing Andrea went bright red and shouted: ‘Oh God, make it stop!’ 

She then started squirming before lowering herself underneath her desk and saying: ‘I’m just… hiding.’

Despair: She ended up cowering under her desk while shouting: 'Make it stop!'

From the floor she looked up in despair and asked: ‘Is it still happening?’

Eventually, in hysterics, she manages to drag herself back on to her chair before saying through tears of laughter: ‘It’s so bad!’

She was joined in the viewing by panellists Brenda Edwards, 51, Denise, 62, and Janet Street-Porter, 73, who joined via video link.

Brenda, who came fourth in The X Factor in 2005, was in fits of giggles while watching Andrea squirm with embarrassment. 

Denise held an electric fan to her face and chest throughout to cool her down while watching the video clip and all of the women were left in hysterics by the end. 

And Janet then said: ‘My dog sings better than that!’
