Deleting a loop in singly linked list

Question

A loop may occur in singly linked list (SLL).
To delete the loop in the list, first we need to detect the loop in the SLL and then delete the loop.

Can any one tell how to delete the loop in a SLL with pseudo code?
Can we do it using 3 pointers?
Is there any alternate to accomplish the task?
