Carol McGiffin on Ruth Langsford marriage split
The 64-year-old, who left the show last April, was asked about the split in her interview. She said she was “sad” about it and ‘loves them both’.
“It’s always sad when a relationship breaks up,” Carol said. “But it’s sadder when you’re so in the public eye.
“It’s really hard. Everyone’s speculating, everyone has a theory. I’d put everything I own on the fact that a lot of it is [Bleep].”
She went on to said: “I feel for them both in that respect. I love them both, I’ve worked with them both, been at parties with them both. It’s really sad but I haven’t, as they say, ‘reached out’ to Ruth yet.”
The 64-year-old then explained the reason she hasn’t contacted Ruth to offer her support yet. “She’ll be inundated and won’t want to hear from me, right now! I’ll send her a message when I know what’s really going on, not before. Otherwise, you’re just adding to the noise.”
