Former Loose Women panellist Carol McGiffin has criticised the programme’s current format, arguing that ITV’s cutbacks have left it lacking energy and purpose
The show has lost its studio audience and now airs during fewer weeks of the year as part of wider daytime savings
McGiffin, who departed in 2023 following a contract dispute, said she no longer watches and believes the programme may have reached the end of its run
ITV has reduced daytime resources while redirecting investment towards drama, with job losses also announced.
