Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha has been temporarily removed from the show after being accused of sharing “unhinged” anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on social media. The 61-year-old TV personality, who has been a staple on the panel since the show began in 1999, was absent from this week’s episode and will also not appear next week.
Sources close to ITV suggest that while the network still holds Sawalha in high regard, both parties are taking some “space” before discussing any potential return. This follows concerns raised about her increasingly controversial YouTube content, where she has openly supported her husband Mark Adderley, who was suspended by the Green Party for his own alleged anti-Semitic remarks.
In her latest YouTube show, Coffee Moaning, Nadia accused “dark forces” of attempting to smear her husband, and continued to promote divisive conspiracy theories, including claims of “Israeli false flag” operations behind major political events.
Sources have claimed that Nadia’s YouTube channel has raised serious concerns due to its “dangerous” content, with some insiders at ITV expressing worry about her mental health. These posts, which mix anti-Israel rhetoric with anti-Semitic tropes, have reportedly prompted several complaints from both colleagues and viewers.
Despite this, Nadia was back on her YouTube channel this morning, defending her actions alongside her husband. She also continued to attack those she believes are behind the smears against her and Mark, describing their activism as altruistic and misinterpreted.
The ITV network has yet to comment on her removal, but an insider mentioned that both parties are taking a step back for some breathing room, with a potential return to the show still uncertain.
Nadia’s involvement in the controversy surrounding her husband’s suspension from the Green Party has sparked further scrutiny, with many wondering if her outspoken views could put her career at risk. One observer commented, “It’s time for ITV to take action before this damage spreads to its brand.”
Nadia has yet to respond to requests for comment.
