Carol McGiffin claims ITV's ‘disdain' for fans is 'obvious' after 'Tower Block Tracey' row

Loose Women star Carol McGiffin has launched another scathing attack on ITV. The 63-year-old left the ITV daytime programme earlier this year, having first appeared on the Loose Women panel in 2000.

Ruth Langsford has publicly praised her husband Eamonn Holmes following his very vocal comments about the Phillip Schofield affair.

Emmerdale actor Asan N'Jie has managed to land an exciting new role in a Disney movie, four years after he was axed from the ITV soap.The former Ellis Chapman star, whose role was taken over by Aaron Anthony in the months after the incident, abruptly left the Dales after he allegedly threatened to stab fellow actor Jamie Lomas, 48, during the TV Choice Awards in 2019. Asan, 28, was caught on video in the hallways shouting and threatening rival soap star Jamie, who has previously been in Channel 4 rival Hollyoaks, as the pair got into a row.

Loose Women fans were left annoyed when panel host Ruth Langsford was unfortunately forced to cut off guest Gregg Wallace during today's show, Monday 19 June. The panellists had been playing around with a light-hearted activity during today's edition, which involved making hats out of shopping bags, so viewers became frustrated when the MasterChef judge had to be cut short.

Eamonn Holmes has weighed in yet again on the ongoing controversy surrounding his former colleague Phillip Schofield's affair with a younger male colleague whilst working at This Morning, as he has hit out at ITV.

Eamonn Holmes has been very outspoken in regards to the Phillip Schofield scandal, with many criticising him for airing his thoughts, but despite this he still insists: “I know the truth.”

K.J. Yossman On Wednesday morning, ITV boss Carolyn McCall appeared in front of a Parliamentary committee to be grilled over the network’s culture and duty of care in the wake of the Phillip Schofield scandal. Schofield, a long-time anchor on ITV’s flagship daytime show “This Morning,” resigned last month in ignominy shortly before admitting to an affair with a young male runner on the show while he was married (Schofield has two adult daughters with his wife, Stephanie). Some have questioned the intensity of the coverage, which has unsurprisingly taken a mental toll on both Schofield and his former lover, especially since the affair was, in the anchor’s own words, “unwise but not illegal.” But there are a number of elements – not least the runner’s age – that catalyzed the media tsunami that now threatens to take down not only Schofield but his former co-host Holly Willoughby as well as various network executives including McCall.

The boss of ITV has hit back at accusations that the 'vast majority knew' about Phillip Schofield's affair. The presenter stepped back as host of This Morning after rumours of a 'feud' between him and co-host Holly Willoughby behind the scenes hit the headlines.

ITV boss Dame Carolyn McCall has shared that she is "deeply concerned" about former This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield. Dame Carolyn has appeared before the Culture, Media and Sport Committee to answer questions about the broadcaster’s approach to safeguarding and complaint handling. It comes after Phillip, 61, admitted to having an affair with a much younger male colleague while working at ITV.

Eamonn Holmes has hit back at the criticism he has faced following the Phillip Schofield affair scandal - saying: “People can’t handle the truth.” Former This Morning host Eamonn, 63, claimed there was a toxic culture at the ITV show after Phillip, 62, left the programme last month and later admitted to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a much younger colleague. But ITV chiefs hit back at Eamonn’s criticism during a grilling by MPs this week - saying the TV presenter ‘reaped the rewards’ while he was working for the station. Reacting to that for the first time, Eamonn said on GB News on Thursday: “There’s a scene in a Few Good Men where Jack Nicholson shouts ‘you can’t handle the truth’.

“We do not recognise a toxic culture at This Morning,” ITV boss Carolyn McCall has said bullishly during her committee hearing on the Phillip Schofield affair.

ITV has provided a timeline of how it responded to rumors of This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield’s relationship with a younger runner three years before the story burst into the public domain.

ITV boss Carolyn McCall has said “no evidence” was brought to her and her team during Phillip Schofield’s affair with a much younger runner as she indicated the relationship was “deeply inappropriate.”

ITV boss Dame Carolyn McCall said the broadcaster does not recognise allegations of a toxic culture at This Morning and reiterated claims "deeply disappoint" her. The chief executive faced questions from MPs alongside ITV managing director Kevin Lygo and general counsel and company secretary Kyla Mullins about former host Phillip Schofield 's shock exit during Wednesday morning's Culture, Media and Sport Committee session in Parliament.

K.J. Yossman ITV boss Carolyn McCall said former “This Morning” anchor Phillip Schofield’s relationship with a young runner on this show was “deeply inappropriate.” McCall was appearing before a U.K. Culture Media and Sport Committee (CMS) parliamentary inquiry on the working culture and duty of care at ITV following the controversy around Schofield and his time on the long-running daytime show. McCall was joined by ITV’s MD for media and entertainment Kevin Lygo and general counsel Kyla Mullins. Mullins detailed the company’s investigation of the affair, telling the CMS committee the runner – who is being referred to during proceedings as “Person X” – was asked by ITV 12 times about his relationship with Schofield and denied it each time. She said Schofield also repeatedly denied the claims until he resigned last month.

The boss of ITV has confirmed that the broadcaster is funding Phillip Schofield's counselling after he requested the help after he resigned from ITV and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger male colleague.

Loose Women legend Carol McGiffin has spoken out on the ongoing drama at ITV - describing the atmosphere of the "ITV Daytime Family" as “dysfunctional”. The 63-year-old veteran presenter hasn’t held back in the aftermath of Philip Schofield’s resignation and subsequent admission of a relationship with a young staff member, adding to the woes of ITV bosses - who now face a grilling from MPs over claims of a coverup.

It’s the story that everyone’s talking about, and while it started with Phillip Schofield’s shock departure from This Morning, the focus has now fallen on the ITV network itself, with one disgruntled star after another stepping forward to blast the alleged “toxic” culture. “Shaken” and “worried” were the words used by Holly Willoughby to describe her feelings when she addressed the nation on This Morning last Monday.

Amanda Holden has been forced to set the record straight on her rumoured 'rift' with Holly Willoughby for the first time after the Phillip Schofield scandal emerged. The Britain's Got Talent judge has released a statement on her Instagram today (June 8) following reports of an alleged 'feud' between her and the This Morning presenter.

Ruth Langsford has hit back at claims she is 'feuding' with her Loose Women co-star Coleen Nolan.The 63 year old presenter has already found herself embroiled in the drama surrounding This Morning - after her husband Eamonn Holmes publicly criticised Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield following the latter’s departure from the show. And earlier this week, ITV viewers accused Ruth of snubbing Holly during a live link between This Morning and Loose Women. Now, during an episode of Loose Women, Ruth addressed claims of tensions with fellow panellist Coleen, 58.
