Former Loose Women star Carol McGiffin left the show in 2023 and has made no bones about the reasons why. And in a new interview she has revealed what she told some of her co-stars after her exit.
Speaking to OK!, Carol, who lives with husband Mark Cassidy in the south of France said she didn’t miss the show at all.

The 64-year-old told the publication: “It was once a great job. It doesn’t really have many alternative opinions now. And I do watch it occasionally to remind myself that I made the right decision. I don’t regret leaving – I don’t fit in there any more. Someone, somewhere will be offended by absolutely everything.”
She went on to say: “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. I’m still very good friends with a lot of the Loose ladies though. 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.”
Carol then revealed the somewhat brutal comment she made to some fellow panellists when she left.
“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.”
During the interview Carol also revealed that although she loves Ruth Langsford, she hasn’t contacted her since following marriage split.
Carol she felt Ruth would be “inundated and won’t want to hear from me, right now”. She went on to say she will send Ruth a message when she knows “what’s really going on, not before.”
