Carol McGiffin has firmly dismissed any possibility of returning to Loose Women, despite speculation that she might come back to 'save the show'. The 66-year-old broadcaster, who first joined the ITV panel in 2000 and left in 2013 before returning in 2018 and quitting again in 2023, said there is 'no chance' of another comeback.
Taking to Instagram, McGiffin clarified she did not instigate the article suggesting a return, adding: 'I am very happy being semi-retired and living a lovely life with my gorgeous husband in the South of France.' She made almost 1,500 appearances on the programme during her tenure.
McGiffin recently revealed she had a 'massive, massive' row with co-star Kaye Adams over Ukraine. She refused to support Ukraine outright, citing complex history between the nations, and criticised what she called 'intolerance' from the show and leftists. Despite the row, she said they remain 'really good friends'.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star also criticised the direction of Loose Women, claiming it has become 'much less policed' and that people 'take so much offence' compared to when she started. She left the show in 2023 after a two-month absence, saying she was 'upset' to go.
