Nadia Sawalha says she is taking legal action against ITV after leaving the daytime show Loose Women, which she has not appeared on since April. Multiple outlets report that Sawalha claims her removal is unlawful and that she has been treated unfairly. She links her departure to her public support for Palestinian rights, saying that her beliefs and comments put her at odds with the programme’s approach. Sawalha also characterises her exit as being “bullied out of” the job, and says she would not be pressured or silenced.
ITV is not described in the reports as making a substantive response to her claims. The coverage centres on Sawalha’s allegations that her departure was not handled properly and that it is connected to the views she has expressed publicly. The reports describe the situation as a legal dispute set to be taken forward by Sawalha, with the exact legal basis and next steps not detailed in the sources provided.
