Jan Leeming says she has quit social media after receiving what she describes as “vile abuse” following backlash to her criticism of ITV presenter Charlene White. The outlets report that Leeming posted comments that led to an online dispute and that the ensuing comments directed at her prompted her to step away from social platforms.

In her remarks, Leeming also says she feels she “should have kept my thoughts to myself,” framing her decision as a response to the negative reaction rather than further debate. The coverage focuses on the personal impact of the backlash, including the nature of the abuse she says she received.

While both reports centre on Leeming’s withdrawal and her stated regret, they do not provide detailed context about the original content of her criticism or the specific exchanges that followed beyond describing the dispute as a “row.”
