Loose Women 's Carol McGiffin has denied a behind the scenes spat with fellow ITV star Lorraine Kelly after she was seen to brand the presenter "revolting" in a now-deleted tweet.

Carol appeared to take a swipe at Lorraine and other TV celebs in the post, which has since disappeared from Twitter.

The 61-year-old took aim at stars including Piers Morgan, Karren Brady and Dr Hilary Jones, labelling them "revolting human beings".

According to The Mirror, responding to a tweet about the stars, Carol posted: "Profiting from other people’s misfortune. Msm [mainstream media] mercenaries.

"I’d go further than that. They are revolting human beings and that’s being generous."

Her response sparked a huge outcry on social media after fans noticed daytime star Lorraine in the line-up.

She told The Mirror in a statement: "Unfortunately I retweeted it without looking at the whole picture.

"I didn't see the bottom row and I deleted it as soon as I saw lovely Lorraine who has no place in that rogues gallery."
