Carol said Chrissy and John’s loss is “so sad and tragic” but she felt “uncomfortable” seeing the images.
She continued: “I have to say that I did feel a little bit uncomfortable looking at them because I felt like I was intruding in a way.
“I know that she’s put them up there and I know that she’s had a lot of followers and fans who care deeply for what’s going on with her whole pregnancy up until yesterday.
“But I just felt like this was not something I should be witnessing.”
I just felt like this was not something I should be witnessing.
Carol added: “I’m not judging her and saying that she’s wrong to do it but I don’t know, I just think that it’s such a private thing.
“I kind of question if there are some things that you shouldn’t have to share on social media.
“I don’t know where we’re going with all of this.”
Her co-star Jane Moore asked: “Do you think it’s the timing?
“Because it’s very soon after it happened and I suppose that for me is the most ‘oh’ thing of it.
“I look and I think, she’s going through the most painful of experiences.
“I’m thinking, is she in the right head space of that moment to make that decision to put it out there?”
What did Loose Women viewers say?
Some viewers weren’t happy with Carol’s comments.
One person said on Twitter: “If it doesn’t make you feel comfortable Carol, just don’t look at them.
“I applaud Chrissy and John for being so open and honest over something that’s still so taboo.”
