Carol McGiffin was a Loose Women regular from 2000 until 2013 and again from 2018 until 2023.
Carol McGiffin has taken a savage swipe at her former show Loose Women. The 64-year-old exited the ITV daytime show in May last year over contract issues.
In her latest dig, she bluntly told Woman’s Own: “I don’t regret leaving, I don’t fit in there anymore.” Her remark came after she made a similar swipe in an interview with OK! magazine earlier this year.
“I don’t regret leaving—I don’t fit in anymore. Someone will always be offended by everything. I’d rather not be on a show that panders to that. It’s boring, and I won’t be told what I can or can’t say,” she said.
Carol was a regular Loose Women panellist from 2000 until 2013 and again from 2018 until 2023.
After such a long period on the programme, unsurprisingly, she keeps in touch with some of her former co-stars, although in the same interview she admitted having nothing in common with a few of them.
“I’m still very good friends with a lot of the Loose ladies… Denise Welch popped down here with Lincoln [Townley, her husband] last year and we met them for lunch. I’ve seen Kaye [Adams], Jane [Moore] and Nadia [Sawalha] a few times.”
However, she brutally added: “Some, I have nothing in common with. As I said to them, ‘You’re not friends, you’re just people I work with, who I really like.’ Which horrified them.”
Carol had previously suggested that she’d felt “forced” to quit over the “totally unworkable” contract she’d been faced with.
She revealed that the show had been “causing too much stress”, hence her decision to step away.
The presenter lamented to Best magazine: “The problem was, ITV were insisting, for the first time since I went back in 2018, that if I wanted to carry on doing the show, I would have to sign a contract that was totally unjust and unworkable for me, so I had to say ‘no thanks.’”
“I feel quite upset about it, if I’m honest,” she added, “because although it is my decision, I felt like it was one I was being forced to make. No one in their right mind would have signed that contract. And I can’t see a way back from it.”
She later addressed her exit in an explosive interview on GB News when she said: “Well put it this way, reading all the comments from the article at the weekend there are a lot of people who think the programme has gone very, very woke.”
In April of this year, she took to Instagram to tell her followers: “Apparently, some people are missing me. Not because I haven’t been on here for ages but because I’m not on that daytime ITV show I used to do, Loose Women.”
She continued: “Sadly that little job isn’t coming back but I’m not totally retired yet.”
