Carol McGiffin denies Lorraine fallout after ruffling ITV feathers with 'revolting' comment
ok.co.ukCarol McGiffin has shut down the claims that there’s an ongoing rift between her and fellow ITV daytime television star Lorraine Kelly, 62, after Carol appeared to brand her a “revolting”.
Carol, 61, shocked social media-users last week after she shared a photograph of a string of well-known faces in a now-deleted tweet and described them as “revolting human beings”.
In the line-up was former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan, The Apprentice's Karren Brady, Dr Hilary Jones and Lorraine Kelly, alongside others.The caption on the photo that Carol shared read: “Profiting from other people’s misfortune.
Msm [mainstream media] mercenaries.” Retweeting the post herself, Carol then wrote alongside it: “I’d go further than that.They are revolting human beings and that’s being generous.” Following the controversial tweet and the outcry that followed, Carol has since denied that there’s any bad blood between her and Lorraine, and insisted that she didn’t realise the Glaswegian presenter was in the photo. “Unfortunately I retweeted it without looking at the whole picture,” Carol told The Mirror. "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."
