It's been a turbulent 2016 for Stephanie Davis but it seems things are finally looking up for the actress after she announced she is set to join Loose Women as a guest panellist.

The former Hollyoaks actress announced the news that she will be joining the show this Friday (26th August) in an excited post on her Twitter account.

She wrote “FINALLY I'm so happy to announce that I'm going to be a Panellist on @loosewomen this Friday. Really excited so make sure to tune in."

It had been rumoured in recent weeks that Steph was set to join the show but now she has announced it, fans seem to have welcomed her news.

A source close to the former CBB star said "This is a great opportunity for Stephanie to impress producers, who will be watching her and the reaction from viewers closely. If they like her, she could become a permanent fixture."

Steph wouldn’t be the first guest panellist to get a 'permanent slot' on the show. Both Katie Price and Vicky Pattison were kept on after impressing viewers with their controversial opinions and stories.

It’s said that bosses of the show wanted Steph as a panellist after her successful interview appearances on the show. Viewers appeared to warm to the mum-to-be after her most recent stint on the show when she candidly opened up the abuse she has been receiving about her un-born child.
