Loose Women’s Carol McGiffin slams ITV again claiming they’re ‘forcing woke agenda down viewers throats’
LOOSE Women’s Carol McGiffin has unleashed a furious rant about ITV again after she quit the show.
She took aim at channel bosses – claiming they have “obvious contempt” for the audience.
Carol – who quit Loose Women earlier this year – made the comment following This Morning host Phillip Schofield’s affair.
After watching ITV’s chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall, managing director Kevin Lygo at a government committee answering questions about the scandal, Carol wrote in her latest Best Magazine column: “The only ‘new’ revelation to come out of the whole ITV bosses’ pointless questioning by MP’s is the obvious disdain and contempt they have for their viewers, after it was revealed they refer to them as ‘Tower Block Tracey’s’.
“Do they also think, I wonder, that by forcing their woke agenda down the audiences throats day after day they’re ‘educating’ them? Of course they do.
“Do they also think, I wonder, that by forcing their woke agenda down the audiences throats day after day they’re ‘educating’ them? Of course they do.”
Carol’s scathing comments were in response to SNP MP John Nicholson’s claims ITV staff had used the term Tower Block Tracey’s to describe its audience who wouldn’t “like or understand highbrow content”.
Denying the claim, a shocked Carolyn told the committe: “We wouldn’t describe our audience in that way and I know one thing, it is that the daytime team on every show really cares about the audience, so that surprises me.”
Outspoken Carol, 63, left the show earlier this year after clashing with bosses.
She claims the people who run the channel are too arrogant to truly know who their audience is.
Phillip, 61 — who was axed from This Morning — originally left over a growing feud with pal and co-star Holly Willoughby.
His departure was also fuelled by his brother Tim being outed as a peado.
However, six days later, he made a bombshell revelation about a “consensual on-off relationship” with a toyboy lover who worked on This Morning – leaving him no choice but to quit ITV altogether.
