Loose Women viewers expressed displeasure with the panel's behavior during the interview with Matteo Bocelli on Thursday's ITV daytime chat show. The lunchtime hosts Jane Moore, Mariella Frostrup, Nadia Sawalha, and Sue Cleaver welcomed the singer, son of opera legend Andrea Bocelli, to discuss his second album and live performance.
Jane Moore opened by complimenting Matteo on his looks:
“Well, first of all, can we just say you are impossibly handsome? But I'm sure you get a lot of that!”
Matteo spoke about his new album, Falling In Love:
“Honestly, I feel like I evolved so this time I had the chance to work on the album with more time and was dreaming to set the studio at home and spend three or four weeks with the producers. Music is an exchange of ideas, and to me, it was very important to get it. There's a cover that has more of a classical feeling, but mainly pop.”
Mariella Frostrup, sitting beside Matteo, leaned in and giggled as he answered her question about growing up with a famous father in a different musical genre.
Viewers quickly criticized the panel for their unusual and awkward demeanor during the guest interview.
