Kaye Adams has spoken about the 'difficult' time she has faced since being axed from her BBC Radio Scotland role amid an investigation into allegations of misconduct, which she strenuously denies.
Speaking at the British LGBT Awards, the 63-year-old Loose Women star said: 'It's been a difficult period - but to have friends who trust you and have faith in you and stand by you has been the most amazing thing to come out of it, so I'm really grateful for that.'
Her Loose Women colleagues have been vocal in their support. Stacey Solomon called her 'one of the kindest women in telly', while Jane Moore noted their 30-year working relationship and said Adams has 'only ever been kind and supportive to junior staff'. Sunetra Sarker described her as 'remarkable, professional and kind'.
Adams was suspended in October and axed from her £155,000-a-year radio job in February after 15 years. She told the Mirror the support from her Loose Women pals has been 'life-affirming'.
She also praised the new ITV studios, calling them 'like Sylvanian Families - in a nice way', and said the closer proximity to colleagues has created a 'great energy'.
