Loose Women’s Olivia Attwood, Stacey Solomon and Nadia Sawalha demand ‘go away her alone!’ as they lead stars supporting ‘kindest girl in TV’ Kaye Adams after her axe from radio present amid misconduct probe

Kaye Adams‘ celebrity friends have told trolls to leave her alone as they threw their support behind the ‘kindest woman in TV’ after she was axed from her £155K- a-year BBC Radio Scotland show amid a misconduct probe. 

Loose Women stars Olivia Attwood, Stacey Solomon, Nadia Sawalha, Katie Piper and Sunetra Sarker took to Instagram alongside the likes of Carol Vorderman following Kaye’s statement denying the allegations made against her. 

While co-stars Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan, Frankie Bridge, Denise Welch, Brenda Edwards and Judi Love are still yet to comment.  

Earlier this month, it was reported a disciplinary investigation found Kaye, 63, had been found culpable of three misconduct complaints after allegedly swearing at a colleague, throwing a pen at another and berating an intern’s professional ability. 

Two complaints of bullying against Kaye were not upheld and she parted company with the BBC last month, after initially being suspended in October last year while the investigation took place. 

In her emotional post Nadia, 61, who was an original Loose Women panellists alongside Kaye, demanded ‘enough was enough’ and that her longtime pal needed to be ‘left alone’.

She wrote: ‘Kaye Adams and I have been friends for 26 years and I can 100% vouch for her’ and later fumed: ‘Leave her ALONE’.

Nadia went on: ‘Kaye hold your head high there are literally hundreds of people who know what a damn fine human being and professional you are’.

Olivia was quick to comment with love heart emojis, while Stacey wrote: ‘One of the kindest women in telly I love you Kaye’. 

Meanwhile Sunetra penned: ‘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 & unnecessary situation- she has my full support. I would pick Kaye to be in my team every time. Xx’.

Carol Vorderman chimed ‘Absolutely’ while Loose Women’s Katie Piper also posted her support with love heart emojis. 

While EastEnders star Luisa Bradshaw-White commented: ‘Kaye was SO good to me when I was a guest presenter. She had my back, she was really kind and really looked out for me. Standing beside you Kaye’. 

Hear’Say’s Suzanne Shaw said: ‘I don’t know Kaye all that well but what I will say is she is one of the nicest, gracious, most welcoming presenters I have been interviewed by and worked with. Stop unnecessarily ruining innocent people’s lives. Kaye – I hope you know you are loved’.

It comes after fellow Loose Women Jane Moore wrote: 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’.

Kaye took to Instagram on Thursday to issue a statement where she ‘categorically denied’ using the offensive C-word 14 years ago and berating an intern.  

She said: ‘I’m aware of malicious stories circulating about the reasons for my departure from BBC Scotland. 

Kaye is still a regular panellist and presenter on ITV’s Loose Women, which previously said it was standing by the star. 

Many of her fellow presenters have come out in support of her since her suspension, including Denise Welch and Nadia Sawalha. 

She also hosts a weekly podcast, How To Be 60, with Karen MacKenzie where she has previously spoken about the stress she has been under during the BBC probe. 

Just last month she admitted she had lost weight and ‘hadn’t felt like eating’ and previously told the Mail on Sunday her name had been ‘dragged through the mud’. 

Her friends said they feared there had been a ‘witch-hunt’ against her by new BBC Scotland radio boss Victoria Easton-Riley, who was appointed in May 2025. 

Within six months Victoria had scrapped the station’s longest-running programme, Good Morning Scotland, and replaced it with Radio Scotland Breakfast, presented by Martin Geissler and Laura Maciver. 

A month later it was announced four more programmes – late-night music shows – would be scrapped along with their presenters Iain Anderson, Roddy Hart, Billy Sloan and Natasha Raskin Sharp. 

Insiders previously said the move against Kaye came after a team meeting was observed by the new boss who witnessed behaviour she found concerning, prompting her to speak to colleagues about the star. 

It came after the corporation launched its latest anti-harassment campaign called ‘Call It Out’ which encouraged employees to report conduct which they found unacceptable.  

That scheme was set up in response to an independent report into BBC workplace culture which found a small number of stars and managers ‘behave unacceptably’ and bosses often fail to tackle them. 

It was commissioned in the wake of the Huw Edwards scandal, when the former news anchor admitted possessing child abuse images. 

Then MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace was sacked after a report upheld 45 allegations about his behaviour including unwelcome physical contact and being in a state of undress. 

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty is currently under formal investigation after complaints of bullying were made against her, although she still remains on air.  

BBC chairman Samir Shah previously said some powerful people still make life ‘unbearable’ for their colleagues and told presenters: ‘After today, let me state it clearly, if you think you’re too big a star or too important to live by the values of this organisation, not only are you wrong, but we will find you out.’  

Kaye’s representatives and the BBC were approached for comment.
