Carol McGiffin has sparked outrage after saying she would refuse to give up her train seat for a pregnant woman.
Carol, 59, drew shocked intakes of breath by claiming on ITV's Loose Women she'd give her seat up for the elderly but not a woman carrying a child.
"I wouldn't stand for a pregnant woman," she asserted, "because they're not sick, just pregnant.
"It's not my fault. I didn't get them pregnant."
A gobsmacked Stacey Solomon asked: "What if a pregnant woman needed a seat?"
"They should have booked," she bluntly replied.
Her comments sparked outrage with one viewer tweeting: "I absolutely would give up my seat for a pregnant woman because if they were to fall or anything happened to them or the baby I’d never forgive myself."
Another fumed: "Pregnant women are pregnant, not ill. Boils my blood when people say this, especially as I’m 20 weeks into a difficult pregnancy and still throwing up all day every day."
While on viewer simply wrote: "There speaks a woman who has never been pregnant and has no idea of the tiredness & aches and pains of a your body as it grows a new human being."
The panel were debating train etiquette after a pregnant woman posted a photo to social media of two elderly people sitting in her reserved seats on a train.
