ITV Pulls Loose Women Amid Kaye Adams Bullying Investigation

ITV's daytime show Loose Women was pulled from the schedule on October 24, 2025, due to horse racing coverage, with the show expected to return the following Monday. This scheduling change coincides with ongoing internal issues at BBC Radio Scotland, where Kaye Adams, a Loose Women panelist, has been taken off her £155,000-a-year radio show amid allegations of bullying junior staff, involving complaints that she 'shouted and screamed.' Despite the investigation, Adams has not been officially informed of any complaints against her and has not permanently left the BBC. Additionally, Loose Women is facing further challenges, including a reduction in broadcast weeks from 52 to 30 starting in 2026, loss of its studio audience, and relocation to a new studio, prompting concerns among cast members like Nadia Sawalha. These changes form part of broader ITV daytime programming adjustments affecting shows such as Lorraine and This Morning. ITV and BBC have both acknowledged the programming changes and investigations but have remained tight-lipped on specifics regarding complaints and internal processes.
