Carol McGiffin furiously branded her former show Loose Women “boring” in a scathing nine word swipe.
The 64-year-old announced she was leaving the ITV daytime show last year in a surprise move, but later admitted she was forced to “step away” from Loose Women because of a “difficult issue”. Carol also confessed in an interview with GB News following her exit that she was suffering “too much stress” during contract negotiations, and claimed the show had become “too woke”.
In a new interview with Woman’s Own, Carol revealed there was still no love lost between her and the ITV show, and insisted the reason she left was over her contract, which “no one in their right mind would have signed”. Despite insisting earlier this year that she “didn’t miss” Loose Women, and she was sick of the “wokeness”, Carol sadly confessed she does in fact miss her old show, and was disappointed to leave.

But her heartbreak over leaving her old friends behind isn’t enough for Carol to return, and she claimed that she would never go back in a nine-word tirade. “I don’t regret leaving, I don’t fit in there anymore,” she explained. The presenter and journalist joined Loose Women back in 2001 when it first aired on ITV, but she revealed it “panders” too much to “offended” viewers, and she confessed she even watches it from time to time to “remind myself that I made the right decision”.
“It was once a great job,” she continued, but Carol said she only keeps in touch with a handful of her former co-presenters. She still meets up with Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha, and Jane Moore, but revealed that she upset some of the Loose Women panellists when she told them she didn’t think of them as friends. “Some I have nothing in common with,” she boldly stated, and added that they were “just people I work with”.

She also keeps in touch with Ruth Langsford, but confessed she hasn’t reached out to her since news broke of her divorce from Eamonn Holmes. “She’l be inundated and won’t want to hear from me right now,” she told OK! in June.
Speaking to Best magazine earlier this year, Carol touched upon the contract issue that eventually forced her to walk away from Loose Women, and said it had been a “difficult issue” she had been dealing with since January. “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,” she explained.
