Carol McGiffin came under fire from viewers for calling her co-stars parenting skills into question on Loose Women after Katie Piper admitted that she lets her children watch tablets during long journeys.
As Tuesday's host Ruth Langsford introduced the topic 'Are you an iPad parent? Katie said she felt it was important to be 'transparent' with her many social media followers and said: "You can't have and do it all and we have this thing in our family where, if you we travel - planes, cars, trains whatever, we let our kids have a tablet. We've got Minions on them, their homework, their maths stuff and we let them do that."
Reacting to Katie's admission, ITV anchor Ruth quizzed: "Is that for your benefit or theirs? Is it because you don't want to hear them? Or is it them so they're not going 'are we nearly there yet?' because they're bored." Katie told Ruth it was "mutually beneficial," adding that she does encourage her kids took outside at the environment they're travelling through, adding: "But nobody wants to look at cows for two hours up the M3!"
