The cast of Loose Women saw the year out in style on Saturday with a sexy version of Jingle Bell Rock - complete with fluffy Santa outfits, fur-trimmed skirts and big cheesy grins.

For the last show of 2017, the panellists stripped down to their festive outfits and, led by Coleen Nolan, sang and danced along to the big Christmas number.

In scenes reminiscent of Mean Girls, Stacey Solomon and Denise Van Outen stepped forward to sing lines of the song into the camera, while the other presenters - including Andrea McLean, Christine Lampard, Linda Robson, Saira Khan and Penny Lancaster - danced along in the background.

But there was one notable absence from the Loose Women line-up: Katie Price, reports the Mirror.

Katie has been a familiar face on the panel this year, using the show to talk about her mum Amy Price’s terminal lung disease and spilling the beans about what she called husband Kieran Hayler’s affair with their children’s nanny.

Earlier in the show, Ed Balls almost did himself a mischief when he tripped over the Loose Women set.

The former politician and ex-Strictly Come Dancing star somehow lunged through the advent calendar door after handing out presents to the Loose Women panel.

While ho ho ho-ing his way off the set, Ed tripped over the edge of the calendar’s wooden door as he attempted to close it after himself - and viewers caught his panicked reaction as he suddenly found himself windmilling through the air.

Luckily, Ed’s Balls-up didn’t cost him too much - except his dignity - and he managed to get back through the door to prove he was OK with a thumbs up to the audience.
