Loose Women viewers criticize hosts for 'weird' interview with Matteo Bocelli
Viewers of the popular ITV daytime show Loose Women expressed frustration over Thursday’s episode, where the panel’s interaction with guest Matteo Bocelli struck many as awkward and overly personal.
Unusual tone during the live chat
The episode featured Jane Moore, Mariella Frostrup, Nadia Sawalha, and Sue Cleaver interviewing Matteo Bocelli, son of renowned opera singer Andrea Bocelli. The discussion was meant to focus on Matteo’s second album and his live performances, but some fans found the hosts’ approach uncomfortable.
“Well, first of all, can we just say you are impossibly handsome? But I'm sure you get a lot of that!”
This opening remark from Jane Moore set the tone of the conversation, drawing attention on social media for its overly personal nature. Mariella Frostrup, sitting next to Bocelli, laughed and leaned in during their exchange, further fueling viewer criticism.
Matteo Bocelli on his new album
“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.”
Bocelli described how creating his album Falling In Love allowed him to grow as an artist. He emphasized his wish to mix classical elements with a modern pop sound while working more intimately with his producers.
Audience reaction
Despite the charm of the guest, many viewers took to social media to criticize the panel for what they saw as odd behavior, suggesting the segment shifted focus from Bocelli's music to his appearance.
