The Loose Women panel has come under fire after gushing about the lavish wedding of 16-year-old Venezuela Fury to 19-year-old Noah Price, with some viewers questioning whether daytime TV is celebrating child marriage.
The ITV show returned on Monday, May 18, with Christine Lampard, Coleen Nolan, Jane Moore, and Oti Mabuse discussing the weekend’s celebrity news. The conversation quickly turned to Venezuela’s extravagant wedding, which took place on the Isle of Man. Reports indicate around 120 guests attended, including immediate family and a handful of celebrities.
The ceremony reportedly featured grazing platters, macarons, fresh fruit, and champagne, accompanied by a harpist and a performance from former X Factor contestant Nicole Lawrence. The ballroom was adorned with 5,000 roses and hydrangeas in preparation for the couple’s grand entrance, and the reception included a three-course dinner followed by evening snacks and a special performance by Peter Andre.
Christine Lampard praised the celebration, calling it “the big wedding of the year so far,” while Coleen Nolan agreed, highlighting the spectacle as an event for both families. Christine also mentioned reports that Venezuela will move from her parents’ £8 million mansion into Noah’s caravan. “Incredible, incredible pictures and videos coming out of that. It really was a proper spectacular,” she said.
However, viewers quickly took to social media to express outrage. “Are we really celebrating child marriage?” one viewer fumed on X. Others echoed similar concerns, noting that if a child from a council estate had married, authorities might intervene. “Very young getting married,” another added, while some conceded that it might be part of the family tradition.
The debate raises questions about parental consent, tradition, and media coverage of high-profile teen weddings. While the Loose Women panel focused on the opulence and ceremonial aspects of the day, critics argue that the underlying issue of age cannot be overlooked.
Venezuela, daughter of boxing champion Tyson Fury and wife Paris Fury, tied the knot in a ceremony that fans have described as extravagant and meticulously planned. From the lavish floral arrangements to the performances and gourmet dining, the wedding exemplifies a high-society celebration for a very young couple — prompting intense discussion online and in daytime TV circles.
Whether praised for its grandeur or criticized for the bride’s age, Venezuela Fury’s wedding has undeniably sparked conversation about teen marriage, celebrity influence, and family traditions in the public eye.
