Gabrielle loves going on Loose Women

Gabrielle loves appearing on \'Loose Women\'.

The 49-year-old singer always has so much "fun" as a guest panellist on the popular ITV talk show, which features veteran hosts Coleen Nolan, Nadia Sawalha, Ruth Langsford and Andrea McLean to name a few, and wants to stay longer every time she films it.

She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "It\'s been fun, I love going on it. It is something different for me, I think those women are amazing and I\'ve watched them on TV for ages and to actually be there talking amongst them is a fun thing again. If I\'m asked to go on I\'ll do it, when you go off air I\'m always like, \'I want to stay longer!\' I really enjoy it, I\'m very opinionated and I love strong women so it\'s nice to get to be a part of it and they\'re all lovely. Everyone behind the scenes is amazing, the whole entire team make you feel welcome."

However, Gabrielle - who recently wrapped her \'Under My Skin\' tour in support of her new album of the same name and is set to hit the road alongside Rick Astley in the autumn - confessed she couldn\'t be a permanent member on \'Loose Women\'.

She said: "I don\'t have a contract with \'Loose Women\', also that wouldn\'t work for me because I\'m an artist and I get to go off and do my thing, I\'ve got my tour and I\'ve got loads of things lined up in the summer. I\'ve got festivals so I couldn\'t be a permanent person but it\'s an amazing thing to be able to do and of course the best thing about going on is getting to promote your material, I\'m not going to turn down an opportunity to plug my own stuff. It has been really fun and it\'s great that it puts you in the forefront of people\'s minds, they watch you on it and go, \'Oh, has she got new material?\'"
