Brenda Edwards believes 'hateful' online racism will 'never go away' and details the vile comments she's received from trolls since joining Loose Women

As I reflect upon Brenda Edwards‘ courageous journey with secondary breast cancer, I am truly inspired by her strength and resilience. Her battle with this disease is a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of life and the importance of awareness, education, and early detection.


According to Brenda Edwards, she feels that the racism from internet bullies is unlikely to disappear, as she recently talked about the malicious remarks she’s encountered since becoming part of Loose Women.

55-year-old broadcaster stated that during last year’s inaugural all-black panel, dedicated in memory of her son Jamal Edwards, a particularly offensive comment was made by a troll: “Why are we returning to Africa?”

She was joined on the special by Charlene White, Judi Love, Kéllé Bryan, and hit back at the time on social media after one viewer branded the episode ‘anti-white’.

Now Brenda, who joined the ITV show in 2019, has revealed to TopMob: ‘It’s really quite hateful, considering that Loose Women has been going for 25 years and for the majority of that it’s been an all-white panel, so I don’t get it.

Indeed, such prejudice does occur, yet unfortunately, it seems unyielding. Regrettably, there persist individuals who hold biases against Black people, a fact I find puzzling and incomprehensible, as I was not brought up to harbor such sentiments.

In the context of the GenesisCare Second Chance campaign, Brenda expressed her stronger belief that the online hate-speech minority was outnumbered, following the overwhelmingly positive responses garnered by the panelists during their Loose Women tour earlier in the year.

When the special aired, one viewer wrote on X: ‘Brenda’s son died a year ago, sad. 

Here means “I am here and thriving well” is where I soar well” is place I soar white.”

Here, you truly wish to check self. I will genuinely seek you. In this case, you’ll seek self.

In a different part of the interview, Brenda discussed that she and her fellow Loose Women often provide support for one another following several instances where they’ve been impacted by cancer.

In 2015, she received a diagnosis of breast cancer. More recently, Coleen Nolan shared that she vigilantly checks for symptoms of the disease daily, following the devastating impact this disease has had within her family.

In a conversation with TopMob, she mentioned that multiple individuals on the Loose Women panel, such as Carol McGiffin, herself, and Coleen, are currently impacted.

Ex panellist Carol, 64, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 and had a mastectomy that year.

Brenda advised: ‘Always feel free to discuss any concern, no matter how insignificant you may think it is. Go ahead and consult your doctor about it.’

She shared that they maintain friendships beyond their shared professional setting. Outside of their appearances together, they remain good friends.

In a WhatsApp group called “Loose Women,” we all gather, providing an opportunity for anyone feeling down to express themselves. Rest assured, someone will step forward to cheer them up again.

Adding: ‘It’s nice to have that support network but I realise not everyone necessarily has that.

Regardless of the approach people take when facing cancer, an alarming fact is that half of us will experience it either personally or through someone we know. This underscores the importance of increasing public understanding about this disease.

As a deeply invested enthusiast, I’d rephrase that sentence like this:

Brenda is showcased prominently in the impactful “Second Chance” photography exhibition, featuring a collection of captivating, anatomical close-ups that focus on her torso, head, and skin. These images serve to underscore the areas of the body where secondary breast cancer is most frequently detected and the symptoms that should not be ignored.

In simpler terms, this powerful and touching exhibit features photographs taken by Abigail Fahey, who is not only a skilled photographer but also a survivor of breast cancer herself. The exhibit gains additional poignancy as it showcases images of patients who have been treated for Secondary Breast Cancer at GenesisCare.

The aim of the “Second Chance” photography exhibition, set to open at the GenesisCare center Surrey in October, is to create a strong impact, disseminate knowledge, enlighten, and spark discussions about this less commonly known yet fatal form of cancer. The exhibit also aims to dispel the common misconceptions that often surround it.
