Loose Women's Carol McGiffin slams show as 'that little job' as she addresses return

ok.co.uk:

Carol McGiffin has seemingly dashed any hopes of her making a comeback to Loose Women, as fans have been clamouring for her return, saying "it's not the same without you." The TV personality, who was a staple on the ITV panel from 2000 to 2013 and again from 2018 to 2023, hinted at no plans for a third stint after a controversial departure which saw her announce she'd been "forced" to leave.

Last year she revealed she was "upset" about leaving the likes of Nadia Sawalha and Denise Welch behind, saying: "I feel quite upset about it, if I'm honest, because although it is my decision, I felt like it was one I was being forced to make.

No one in their right mind would have signed that contract and I can't see a way back from it." Despite shutting down rumours of rejoining the daytime favourite, it appears Carol isn't hanging up her hat just yet.

She teased that she's still in the game, telling her 154,000 Instagram followers that she's "not totally retired yet". In a candid Instagram update, Carol also took the chance to promote her podcast, posting a photo of herself with a microphone and writing: "Apparently, some people are missing me," adding, "Not because I haven't been on here for ages but because I'm not on that daytime ITV show I used to do, Loose Women.
