Carol McGiffin brands ex-husband Chris Evans 'a sort of DJ' amid 'mean' comments

Carol McGiffin did not hold back on Friday's Loose Women as she spoke about her first husband Chris Evans.

Carol, 62, joined Kaye Adams, Frankie Bridge and Sunetra Sarker on the ITV show as they discussed the latest episode of Married AtFirst Sight UK.

Jess Potter was in tears during Thursday's episode of the E4 reality show when her new husband Pjay Finch revealed to her that he works as a stripper.

Head panelist Kaye used it as an opportunity to ask her co-stars if they would be bothered by their partner's line of work.

As Frankie spoke about husband Wayne being a footballer when she met him, Carol was keen to have her say.

"I don't think I'd ever judge anyone for what they do ever, because a job's a job as far as I'm concerned," she began.

"But just thinking back there, I remember when I met my first husband, I remember thinking I was more attracted to him because he was so good at what he did," Carol continued, before brutally adding: "He was a DJ... well, a sort of DJ."

"And I remember thinking, 'blimey', and I sort of overlooked the everything else that normally I wouldn't go for..."

Making a funny face, she then said: "If you know what I'm saying! I can't say it out loud obviously!"

"I think we know what you're saying! I think we get it!" Frankie laughed as Kaye then quipped: "You're being unusually discreet!"

Laughing, Carol replied: "I know, I know, coz it's a bit mean."

Clarifying her comments, she then added: "The fact that he was so good at what he did, made me like you know actually fancy him, whereas now I look at him and go urgh."

Carol married Chris back in 1991, but they separated in 1993 and were divorced in 1998.

At the time of their relationship and marriage, Chris was a DJ at BBC GLR and also worked for BBC Radio 1 in 1992.

He later moved over to Virgin Radio, where he currently hosts the weekday breakfast show from 6.30am until 10am.

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
