Loose Women today saw Carol McGiffin share her controversial opinion on Halloween, and it’s safe to say a lot of viewers didn’t agree with her.

Carol’s ‘moany’ comments on Loose Women today
Today’s edition of Loose Women saw Carol make her feelings about Halloween very, very clear.
The 62-year-old confessed that she isn’t a fan of the spooky celebration and wants it banned!
The discussion of Halloween was sparked when the Loose Women discussed how some websites have banned people from buying Jeffrey Dahmer costumes to wear this year.
“I’m not a fan of Halloween at all,” she confessed.
“It’s a massive American import and like you Jane [Moore] I don’t remember it when I was younger, I really don’t,” she said.
“Maybe it was talked about, or you did something with some apples or something,” she continued.
“Maybe that was Guy Fawkes [Night],” she mused. “Guy Fawkes was the big day.”

The panelist then went on to explain why she doesn’t like Halloween all that much.
“For me now, seeing grown-ups dressing up in such a competitive way, oh my god, I think it should be banned,” she said.
“They do it for their children,” Gloria Hunniford argued.
“They don’t do it for their children, they do it to beat their neighbours and have a better costume than their neighbours,” Carol fired back.
“I’m not a fan of Halloween and I never have been. I do not want to dress up as a grown-up and walk around the streets,” she continued.
“I think Halloween trick-or-treating is teaching kids to extort things from people.”

“#LooseWomen is on in the background and all I can hear is Carol McGiffin constantly whinging and moaning…don’t think she could be any more miserable!!!” another wrote.
“#Loosewomen cancel anything that’s fun then Carol, yeah? I’ve got pumpkins out, we don’t have kids, I don’t care about ‘competing’ with neighbours, but they’re there because they make me happy. Simple!” a third ranted.
