Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha’s husband Mark Adderley has been elected as a London councillor despite being suspended from the Green Party over his ‘anti-Semitic rants’ on social media.
Adderley secured a seat in Crystal Palace & Upper Norwood in Croydon, south London, which has been left with no overall majority.
He is one of eight candidates elected to the council under the Green Party, which made waves elsewhere in the capital with its first-ever elected mayors in Hackney and Lewisham, while seizing control of Waltham Forest and Hackney Council.
However, due to his suspension Mr Adderley will not be sitting as a Green councillor and will have to sit as an independent.
The election of Mr Adderley, 55, has raised eyebrows among critics, who point to a raft of videos he has shared on his YouTube channel comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and blaming Mossad for carrying out terror attacks.
He is often flanked in the ‘Coffee Moaning’ videos by his wife, broadcaster Nadia Sawalha, who has been dropped from ITV hit show Loose Women over the ‘dangerous’ posts.
Several refer to ‘Israeli false flag’ operations being behind the assassination of US political figure Charlie Kirk and a missile attack on a British base in Cyprus.
In one video uploaded in March, Mr Adderley said: ‘There’s a word which is Lebensraum, which is “living room”, and that’s exactly what [Adolf] Hitler wanted in all the countries around him.
‘The weirdest thing about the maps of history, when you look at how Hitler expanded Germany, or sought to expand Germany, it’s almost a complete identikit to what [Israeli prime minister, Binyamin] Netanyahu, is doing in the Middle East.’

He added: ‘Israel is the biggest threat to the sovereignty of every nation on this planet because they are “the chosen people”. Deluded. It’s a cult, it’s just a cult.’
In the same video, seen by The Times and which has since been deleted, he speculated on the killing of Kirk.
‘I am telling you now, Charlie Kirk was not shot by this guy [the suspect Tyler Robinson]. He was taken out. It’s the deep state, [Israel’s] Mossad intelligence, CIA,’ he said. ‘It’s the same f****** thing — CIA, Mossad, everything is hermetically sealed.’
In another video, made in March after a kamikaze drone – believed to have been fired by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon – struck a British base in Cyprus, Adderley questioned whether it was an ‘Israeli false flag?’
He said: ‘The Western Zionist-supporting, Israeli-complicit media and governments are all going to say, “Well, it must have come from Hezbollah,”‘ he added.
