Viewers of Loose Women were left stunned on Monday when Janet Street Porter, 79, casually dropped a bombshell that no one saw coming — she’s married again. For the FIFTH time.

Janet Street Porter shocked the Loose Women audience by revealing that she has got married for a FIFTH time on Monday’s episode of the show

Janet and British businessman Peter Spanton have romantically linked since 1999

The outspoken broadcaster revealed the surprise news live on air, admitting she had been keeping a “huge secret” from both her co-stars and the audience.

Beaming as she appeared via video link alongside her husband Peter Spanton, Janet announced that the couple quietly tied the knot over the weekend in Great Yarmouth.

“I’ve been keeping a big secret,” she told viewers.
“Peter and I got married on Saturday.
I finally did it. I saved the best till last.”

 Cue gasps in the studio.

Her fellow panelists — Brenda Edwards, Kaye Adams, Sue Cleaver and Nadia Sawalha — were quick to react, with Kaye cheekily pointing out: “Husband number five!”
Brenda joked: “Stop counting!” — before becoming emotional and offering heartfelt congratulations.

Janet, pictured here with her new husband via video link, said on Loose Women: ‘Hi everyone, I’ve been keeping a big secret, it’s my big news for everyone that’s watching… Peter and me got married on Saturday.’

 A Love Story 25 Years in the Making

While the wedding itself may have been low-key, the relationship is anything but new. Janet and Peter have been romantically linked since 1999, quietly building a life away from the spotlight — until now.

Fans immediately flooded social media with messages praising Janet’s confidence, independence and refusal to follow society’s rules about age, love and marriage.

 Four Marriages, No Regrets

Janet’s romantic past is as headline-grabbing as her present.

She married her first husband Tim Street-Porter at just 19, before going on to wed publisher Tony Elliot, filmmaker Frank Cvitanovich, and later David Sorkin — a marriage she previously admitted was sparked by a midlife crisis.

She has never shied away from speaking honestly about love, men, or why she chose not to have children — once famously declaring:

“I wouldn’t swap a smart man for a toddler or a goldfish.”

 “Saved the Best Till Last”

Now, at 79, Janet appears happier — and more certain — than ever.

No fairy-tale dress. No grand ceremony.
Just confidence, clarity… and one final plot twist no one expected.

And if this really is her last trip down the aisle?
Janet Street Porter made sure it was her boldest headline yet.
