‘Pathetic’ Kaye Adams on lying to daughter about her age, admitting she took off 10 years | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
Kaye Adams has admitted lying to her daughter about her age, keeping it hidden until she was 12. The Loose Women presenter, 59, explained that she kept her real age a secret from her daughter Charley, saying that she was 10 years younger than she actually was.
Reflecting on the move, Kaye branded the move “sick”.
The Loose Women star said: “It’s pathetic but I lopped off 10 years and merrily lied away, including a fake date of birth which I had off pat.
“I’m generally an honest person but I’ve always been a good liar and parents lie all the time to little children,” she explained.
Kaye went on to add that at the time she thought it was “funny”, but has since reassessed.

She continued: “At the time I did it without thinking – it’s just a stupid habit you get into and think it’s funny.
“But now when I look back, I think, ‘Oh my God, you were sick’,” she told The Mirror.
The star went on to admit that the last birthday she properly celebrated was when she turned 30, adding that she’s since “avoided” celebrations.
Kaye went onto recall that she broke the news to Charley when she was 12, adding that she was “genuinely disappointed” in her mother upon hearing the news.
Kaye has previously spoken in her podcast about the work dynamic between the panellists on the show, revealing that she and her colleague Jane Moore work with women who are “luvvies”, something they are not really into.
As she approaches 60, Kaye released a new podcast in which she invites guests to offer her help and advice before she reaches the milestone age.
In one of the episodes, Kaye invited her colleague Jane on the show, as well as journalist Karen MacKenzie.
Karen asked Kaye and Jane how they feel being around people who are quite affectionate.
Kaye replied: “It’s a bit about being Scottish. But Funnily enough having worked in England for a long time and with people like Jane, you know, luvvies.
“Jane’s not very luvvy actually, but you know what I mean, Jane.
“We do work with luvvies don’t we? Who are much more touchy-feely.”
Kaye then gave examples of those she works with who are more affectionate than she is used to, including their fellow Loose Women panelist Nadia Sawalha.
