Tell the truth and you’re OUT: Loose Women star Carol McGiffin forced to quit the show in row over ‘Covid’ conspiracy views after ‘bizarre’ radio rant. No, you idiots on the Mail – she was telling the truth that you don’t dare to, or are too stupid to see

Loose Women ITV star Carol McGiffin was forced to quit after a bizarre radio rant, including claiming the Covid pandemic was a World Health Organisation plot to take over every government.

Ms McGiffin, 63, revealed last week that she had left the lunchtime show, protesting that ITV insisted she sign a contract with clauses that were ‘totally unjust and unworkable’.

Now The Mail on Sunday can disclose that a free speech row was at the centre of her departure, after a backlash over her tirade in an interview on TNT talk radio.
