Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha has been suspended from the ITV show after being accused of sharing antisemitic conspiracy theories online. The 61-year-old presenter and her husband, Green Party candidate Mark Adderley, faced backlash over their YouTube channel, where they promoted claims including “Israeli false flag” theories. The move comes amid reports of growing concern from ITV colleagues and viewers about the nature of the content and Sawalha’s well-being.
Controversial YouTube Claims
Nadia and Mark Adderley’s ‘Coffee Moaning’ YouTube channel reportedly features conspiracy theories alleging that attacks such as those in North London and Bondi Beach were false flag operations linked to Israel. Adderley was suspended from the Green Party last month following remarks comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories, including praising Hamas and suggesting Jewish involvement in 9/11.
ITV Bosses Respond
Sources told MailOnline that ITV executives want to “give her some space” following complaints from both on- and off-camera staff about the antisemitic tone disguised as criticism of Israel. There is also reported concern for Sawalha’s mental health due to the increasingly conspiratorial nature of her posts.
Public Backlash
Advocacy group Labour Against Antisemitism condemned Sawalha’s online activity. Spokesperson Alex Hearn described her posts as “vile, unhinged rants” and urged ITV to act swiftly to protect their reputation as one of Britain’s oldest broadcasters.
Loose Women Impact
Sawalha, a regular on the popular daytime show known for light-hearted debates, has publicly blamed “dark forces” and referenced various conspiracy theories, raising concerns about potential damage to the show’s reputation. ITV has not confirmed when Sawalha may return to Loose Women.
