Trisha Goddard has blasted 'Loose Women' for only having white presenters.

The outspoken TV host blamed "posh" producers for adopting a culture of "driven snow" and failing to use panellists from different ethnic backgrounds.

She said: "Driven snow means it is very white, middle-class.

"If your staff come from a predominantly under-privileged area and socio-economic group, you are going to reflect that.

"There are a lot of people who are from non-Anglo backgrounds who would be fantastic on that show.

"It would be nice to have more of a representative mixture because we are a hotch-potch society."

When quizzed on who she would like to see joined the presenting team of the popular ITV1 daytime show, Trisha said former 'Coronation Street' star-turned-radio presenter Shobna Gulati would be an ideal new host.

The 51-year-old presenter - whose most recent self-titled show was axed by Channel Five - is now set to move into radio presenting.
