Viewers of Loose Women expressed dissatisfaction with how the panel conducted an interview during Thursday's episode of the ITV daytime chat show.
During the show, hosts Jane Moore, Mariella Frostrup, Nadia Sawalha, and Sue Cleaver welcomed singer Matteo Bocelli, son of the opera legend Andrea Bocelli, to discuss his second album and upcoming live performance.
Jane opened the interview by complimenting Matteo, saying,
“Well, first of all, can we just say you are impossibly handsome? But I'm sure you get a lot of that!”
Matteo shared insights 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 spoke about growing up with a famous father known for a different musical style, which some viewers found unusual and led to criticism of the panel's behaviour.
The episode sparked criticism from viewers due to the panel's unusual interaction style with the guest, despite informative discussion about Matteo Bocelli’s music.
Author’s conclusion: Viewers reacted negatively to the hosts' offbeat manner during an otherwise insightful interview with Matteo Bocelli about his evolving musical career.
