Towie favourite Pete, 37, and 38-year-old McFly star Danny will make their panel show debut next week on an episode of Loose Men.

During the hour-long Loose Women spin-off, the pair will be encouraged to talk about their own experiences and opinions on a range of topics.

Together with experienced Loose Men Craig Doyle and Jordan Banjo, Pete and Danny are expected to chat about male body trends, anxiety, relationship issues and their own experiences with alcohol.

In a new video promo for the episode, Craig describes his co-star Danny as “a guy who can sing, who is jungle king”.

He says Pete is “a Strictly star with a heart of gold”.

Sally Shelford, Loose Women’s editor, has promised serious chat along with “some surprises” when the one-off show airs next week.

She said: “We’re delighted Danny and Pete will join Craig and Jordan for this episode, continuing Loose Men’s mission to kickstart the important conversations that will make a difference to those watching.

“Our panellists never shy away from the big issues and this episode is no exception, with some of the most important and honest discussions to date – and of course, some surprises, cheeky chat and lunchtime laughs throughout too!”

The lads will appear on Loose Men next Wednesday lunchtime.

Pete found fame in the ITVBe reality show The Only Way Is Essex, but became much more of a household name last year.

He competed in Strictly Come Dancing with professional dancer Jowita Przystal and they made it all the way to the semi-finals.

Danny, meanwhile, is famed for being one quarter of the pop band McFly and a judge on The Voice UK.

Last year, he was crowned the winner of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! after spending three weeks in the Australian jungle.

The first episode of Loose Men aired in November 2020.

It featured an all-male panel made up of Ronan Keating, Marvin Humes, Iain Stirling, and Roman Kemp.

The special aired to mark International Men’s Day and was the first time men had taken over Loose Women in its 21-year history.

Loose Men was such a hit that it has continued to air periodically, with stars including Vernon Kay, Jeff Brazier, Brian Conley, Mike Tindall and Johannes Radebe all appearing as panelists.
