Loose Women ITV star Carol McGiffin was forced to quit after a bizarre radio rant, including claiming the Covid pandemic was a World Health Organisation plot to take over every government.
Ms McGiffin, 63, revealed last week that she had left the lunchtime show, protesting that ITV insisted she sign a contract with clauses that were ‘totally unjust and unworkable’.
Now The Mail on Sunday can disclose that a free speech row was at the centre of her departure, after a backlash over her tirade in an interview on TNT talk radio.
