Carol McGiffin is furious she wasn't asked to return for Loose Women's 18th birthday special - because she thinks she's the reason the show is the "success" it is today.

The 57-year-old presenter - who appeared on the programme as a panelist for 13 years - couldn't resist taking to her Twitter account today (08.09.17) to vent her anger over the fact she wasn't invited back as a guest for the show's big celebration.

When someone asked if she would be appearing today, she said: "Don't be daft Aaron, I only did 13 years and over 1,000 shows, why would I even be asked???!!! (sic)"

The episode saw the likes of TV legends Kerry Katona, Sherrie Hewson and Karren Brady - who have all been panelists at one time or another - make a return to mark the special milestone as well a look through achieve footage captured over the years.

However, when a fan contacted Carol to ask why she didn't appear in any of the footage, she hit back: "You're not the only one who noticed....it's not like they didn't have a lot of material to choose from! #1,174shows (sic)"

And she's particularly baffled because she doesn't know what she did to annoy them.

Asked what she'd done to get the snub, she said: "Dunno. Maybe it's because We (the old gang) left and the show stopped winning awards? Who knows? X (sic)"

Carol then decided to make a sly dig at the series by asking if they miss her.

She said: "Happy 18th Birthday @loosewomen hope you're not missing me too much!!! #LooseWomen18 (sic)"

But she wasn't the only one noticeably missing from the show as Denise Welch - who appeared on the programme from 2002 until 2013 - had also been cut out.

One fan said: "No mention of @RealDeniseWelch or @McGiff on #LooseWomen18? Odd when a show forgets those who made it what it is today. Shame."

To which Carol replied: "Sad, innit? x (sic)"

And Denise, 59, added: "Thank you all for asking. I'm in Greece having a wonderful time. But no, I wasn't asked to be part of @loosewomen celebrations.

"It was time for me to leave 4 yrs ago but sad to have been airbrushed when you share your life for 10 years @loosewomen @McGiff (sic)"
