  • Kaye Adams, the Loose Women star, has expressed a desire to get her life "back on track" after being dismissed from her £155,000-per-year BBC radio job.
  • Her departure followed a "brutal" five-month internal investigation where three misconduct allegations were upheld, including throwing a pen and berating an intern.
  • Adams, 63, was cleared of two other allegations but described the period as difficult for her mental health, eating, and sleeping.
  • She stated on her podcast, How to Be 60, that she is processing things and wants to focus on her family, including her husband and two daughters.
  • Grant Stott and Connie McLaughlin will replace Adams in her BBC role, with the BBC declining to comment on internal processes.
