Loose Women will switch things up for an upcoming special by welcoming men to their show.

ITV's lunchtime programme, which has been on air since 1999, will feature Love Island's Iain Stirling and Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley, who will join regulars Judi Love and Denise Welch in the studio for one day only.

The special, titled Loose Women & Men, will air on September 14 and will see the panel debate and discuss the day's hottest topics.

"We're delighted to be able to mix it up with a special Loose Women & Men episode. It'll be a hoot with us all on a panel together!" Welch said in a statement.

"Richard and Iain are two generations of the modern man and we can't wait to hear their takes on some classic Loose topics in the studio."

Loose Women & Men will air on Thursday, September 14 from 12.30pm on ITV1 & ITVX.
