Kaye Adams has finally opened up about the painful moment she was axed from her ÂŁ155,000-a-year BBC Radio show, admitting that she “just wants to get her life back on track.” The emotional interview came after a disciplinary probe found the 63-year-old presenter guilty of inappropriate behavior, including swearing at a colleague and allegedly throwing a pen at another.
Speaking out for the first time on her How To Be 60 podcast, Kaye revealed the “brutal” five months sheâs endured since the suspension, describing how the stress had affected her mental health, eating habits, and family life. 
“A Brutal Five Months”
In an emotional admission, Kaye explained, “Itâs difficult⊠itâs been brutal. Thereâs no doubt about it.” She added that, while she didnât want to dwell on it, she felt the need to acknowledge what had been happening in her life.
“I’m just trying to get my mental health back on track, my eating, my sleeping, just my life in general,” she said. “Itâs not been easy, but Iâm focusing on getting things right for me and my family.”
Kaye also spoke fondly of her daughters, who have been her main source of support during this challenging time. She tearfully expressed how grateful she was for their constant love and support, despite everything thatâs been going on. 
âIâm just so proud of them,â she said, fighting back tears. âYou’re the mum, youâre the adult, itâs your job to look after them, but I am so thankful to them for everything theyâve done.â
Support from Fellow Celebrities
The BBC’s decision to axe Kaye from her long-standing position on BBC Scotland has sparked controversy. Many of her colleagues and friends have expressed their support, calling the decision “sexist” and “unfair.”
The BBC’s handling of the situation has also drawn criticism. Sources have claimed that the allegations, particularly the one involving the C-word, were from over a decade ago and were already dealt with at the time. There are also doubts about whether throwing a pen in frustration should be grounds for termination. 
Despite the scandal, Kaye continues to be a regular face on ITVâs Loose Women, where fellow panellists Denise Welch and Nadia Sawalha have shown support for the presenter.
A “Witch-Hunt” and a “Sexist” Decision?
Some sources close to Kaye have gone as far as to describe the situation as a “witch-hunt” against her, especially under the leadership of BBC Scotlandâs new boss, Victoria Easton-Riley, who took over in May 2025.
The broadcaster has been under scrutiny following a series of misconduct investigations into high-profile presenters, and Kaye’s axing has only added fuel to the fire. Many believe that her dismissal was part of a broader push by the new management to crack down on behavior they deemed unacceptable.
Whatâs Next for Kaye Adams?
