Loose Women anchor Kaye Adams says the support of her telly pals has meant everything since she was hit with allegations of misconduct last year
Kaye Adams has opened up about the tough time she’s had since she was axed from her BBC Radio Scotland gig, amid an investigation into allegations of misconduct which she strenuously denies.
Speaking to the Mirror at the recent British LGBT Awards, the Scot said, “It’s been a difficult period – but to have friends who trust you and have faith in you and stand by you has been the most amazing thing to come out of it, so I’m really grateful for that.
Of the support she’s had from various quarters, the 63-year-old said, “Yes, there’s been a lot – unbelievably so, and I’m so incredibly grateful.”
Her fellow Loose Women have been very vocal in support of their colleague, with the likes of Stacey Solomon penning online: “One of the kindest women in telly. I love you Kaye.”
Jane Moore also spoke about their three decade working relationship: “I have worked with Kaye on and off for nearly 30 years and have only ever seen her be kind and supportive to junior staff.
“I also know that dozens of people who work/have worked with her wrote to BBC Scotland to express their support but it didn’t seem to make any difference to the outcome.”
Sunetra Sarker posted her own message of support, saying: “A remarkable, professional and kind colleague who is as fair as they come.
“Never one to undermine or belittle, I am truly saddened that Kaye has had to face this difficult and unnecessary situation. She has my full support. I would pick Kaye to be in my team every time.”
Adams told the Mirror of the Loose Women’s continued backing “It’s great, it’s really life-affirming. It really is. To have that level of loyalty and kindness is just really wonderful. As I say, I’m so grateful.”
In October, Adams was initially suspended from the BBC while the investigation was ongoing, but in February was axed from her £155,000-a-year radio gig with the broadcaster, after some 15 years in the job.
As for the new studio and changes at Loose Women – with no live audience, she revealed, I went down to the studios recently and it’s so tiny and intimate but so lovely… I call it the Sylvanian families studio – in a nice way! It’s great as there’s a real buzz about it.
“We never used to see Ben and Cat, and Alison and Dermot because we were all spaced out. Whereas now, we’re passing each other all the time.
“We do our trails for our show in their show and so it’s got a really great energy to it. So that bit we love. It’s a great atmosphere.”
Adams, who shares two grown-up daughters Charly and Bonnie with her long-term partner, tennis coach Ian Campbell, has spent a total of 20 years on Loose Women, serving as a regular anchor since the show’s inception in 1999.
