Kaye Adams reveals truth about Loose Women feud as panel rally round Fiona Phillips

Kaye Adams has opened up about the bond she shares with her fellow Loose Women – including sleeping together after drunken nights out.

The Scottish star says it is a barrel of laughs behind the scenes and dismissed reports of feuding as nonsense.

Kaye, who first appeared on the show in 1999, said: “I do get fed up that almost always we will be asked whether we bitch about each other.

“I’m just waiting for Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker to be asked the same question because they just never are.

“When we are asked about feuds, we think it is funny. It is certainly not a viper’s nest.

“The one thing that I can guarantee when I go to the Loose Women, regardless of the line-up of women, regardless of the topics, at some point in that day, I will have a real belly laugh.

“And I don’t know how many other people can say that about their working life. I’m really delighted to say, hand on heart at some point in the day, we will be creasing ourselves, which is a lovely thing.”

Kaye, who is appealing for people with regional accents to help front an airline ad, went on: “I did a press trip to Jamaica 20 years ago with Carol McGiffin, who was hilarious, and I have a photo of her fully clothed, swigging champagne and throwing herself backwards into a swimming pool at 2am.

“Yeah, that is pretty standard (with Carol ). Linda Robson and Denise Welsh are both fans of Magic Mike, and I often end up in bed naked with Nadia Sawalha after a night out.

“That’s routine for us – she’s too lazy to go home and I sleep naked... I’m not changing for anyone.

“So we’ve had countless nights where we’ve been worse for wear and tumbled into the same bed together.

“I see more of some of the presenters than others, but I love to see them all on a Loose Women night out.”

Kaye, 60, spoke as ITV stars rallied round ex-Loose Women panellist Fiona Phillips following her Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

Mirror columnist Fiona, 62, revealed in the paper on Wednesday that she had the same disease that ravaged both her father and mother.

Coleen Nolan said on the show: “I was so shocked, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve experienced Alzheimer’s with my mum and I know how traumatic that is.”

Kaye is promoting a campaign by KLM to recruit people with regional accents to voice their radio ads in return for free flights. Enter at promoentries.com/klmlocalvoices2023
