The two
panellists have stripped off to mark the centenary of the WI.
McLean
is a regular fixture on the show, but Dobson joins as a guest panellist.
In a
set of photos released, the pair are posing with pastries covering up their
fronts in one photo.
In the
second photo they are holding Loose Women branded mugs in front of their
chests.
The
original Calendar Girls idea inspired a hit 2003 movie, which starred the likes
of Helen Mirren, Julie Walters, Linda Bassett and other big names.
Directed
by Nigel Cole, it was based on the true story of a group of women from
Yorkshire who posed nude for a calendar to raise money in aid of cancer.
It was
also adapted for the stage and in 2008 opened as part of the Chichester Theatre
Festival, and later moved to the West End.
The
theatre production starred EastEnders' June Brown (Dot Cotton) and Dobson, who
played one of the lead characters, Chris.
Talking
about doing the shoot, McLean said: " I tell you what, they didn't need
considerably bigger buns when it came to me. A couple of Jammie Dodgers and it
would have been fine!"
"It
was great fun though and Anita and I, we'd never worked together before and it
was a case of 'hello' and (strips off) but it was great, all good!"
Appearing
on the show to talk about it, Dobson said: "We are bosom buddies
now!"
"We
have bonded on a very deep and meaningful level. It was really quite
scary!"
