Katie Piper leaves Loose Women star in ‘disgust’ after ‘cringeworthy confession’
KATIE Piper has left fans in ‘disgust’ after sharing her shocking confession.
During an episode of Loose Women last week, the live audience was stunned by the panellist’s confession.
Alongside Ruth Langsford, 64, Coleen Nolan, 59 and Janet Street-Porter, 77, Katie Piper, 40, revealed she has “never” cleaned her fridge.
As discussions focused on how often to clean the kitchen appliance, the mum-of-two shared her confession, which has now been described as a ‘brand new iconic British TV moment’.
Katie said: “I’ve never cleaned my fridge.”
This prompted Ruth, who recently ended her 14-year marriage to Eamonn Holmes, to wonder: “Have you never cleaned your fridge… ever?”

In response, Katie, the writer, activist and TV presenter, confirmed: “No…Why should I clean my fridge? It’s not dirty.”
Loud shouts could be heard in the studio, with the audience and her fellow panellists clearly taken aback by her claims.
After this, Coleen said: “The fridge gets dirty, you get chunks of milk and it turns sour.”
To which Ruth advised, “You should clean it every month, Katie Piper.”
But Katie clearly didn’t see the problem, as she admitted: ‘No. I’ve had my refrigerator for five years and have never cleaned it.”
Janet and Ruth were visibly shocked by her claims, and as she gagged, Ruth told the audience, “I’m going to let you digest that.”
The TikTok clip, which is on the official @loose ladies officially account with the caption ‘Oh Katie Piper… Your chilling confession has left us speechless’ was shared yesterday, but has clearly left many jaws dropping as it has quickly racked up 394,900 views.
But social media users were left completely divided by Katie Piper’s admission – while some were shocked and confessed to cleaning their fridge regularly, others admitted they too don’t clean theirs.

One person said: “No waaaaay! Every week I do mine before I put in my grocery store.
Another added: “I wipe it down every day if I need to, but do it properly before going to the weekly grocery shop.”
