Carol McGiffin is furious she wasn’t asked to return for Loose Women’s 18th birthday special – because she thinks she’s the reason the show is the "success" it is today.
The 57-year-old presenter – who appeared on the programme as a panelist for 13 years – couldn’t resist taking to her Twitter account today (08.09.17) to vent her anger over the fact she wasn’t invited back as a guest for the show’s big celebration.
When someone asked if she would be appearing today, she said: "Don’t be daft Aaron, I only did 13 years and over 1,000 shows, why would I even be asked???!!! (sic)"
The episode saw the likes of TV legends Kerry Katona, Sherrie Hewson and Karren Brady – who have all been panelists at one time or another – make a return to mark the special milestone as well a look through achieve footage captured over the years.
However, when a fan contacted Carol to ask why she didn’t appear in any of the footage, she hit back: "You’re not the only one who noticed….it’s not like they didn’t have a lot of material to choose from! #1,174shows (sic)"
And she’s particularly baffled because she doesn’t know what she did to annoy them.
Asked what she’d done to get the snub, she said: "Dunno. Maybe it’s because We (the old gang) left and the show stopped winning awards? Who knows? X (sic)"
Carol then decided to make a sly dig at the series by asking if they miss her.
She said: "Happy 18th Birthday @loosewomen hope you’re not missing me too much!!! #LooseWomen18 (sic)"
But she wasn’t the only one noticeably missing from the show as Denise Welch – who appeared on the programme from 2002 until 2013 – had also been cut out.
One fan said: "No mention of @RealDeniseWelch or @McGiff on #LooseWomen18? Odd when a show forgets those who made it what it is today. Shame."
To which Carol replied: "Sad, innit? x (sic)"
And Denise, 59, added: "Thank you all for asking. I’m in Greece having a wonderful time. But no, I wasn’t asked to be part of @loosewomen celebrations.
"It was time for me to leave 4 yrs ago but sad to have been airbrushed when you share your life for 10 years @loosewomen @McGiff (sic)"
