Saira Khan takes another swipe at ‘boring’ Loose Women and says she doesn’t speak to most of her co-stars since quitting

SAIRA Khan has taken another swipe at Loose Women and its stars – branding it boring and admitting she no longer keeps in touch with most people on it.

The 50-year-old quit the show after five years earlier this year and has made a string of comments about it needing a serious shake up since.

Asked if she missed being on it, Saira told Woman’s Own magazine: “I only miss some friends, hair and make-up and the wardrobe girls. I really miss Coleen Nolan and Ruth Langsford, but I still chat with them every other week.”

Saira previously said she only “tolerated” most people on the show and had unfollowed Nadia and Kaye Adams after leaving. 

She has now said she thinks the women are “too scared” to say what they really think, telling the mag: “But I don’t miss the topics we spoke about on the show, as they’re not subjects I’m interested in any more. I do genuinely feel the programme needs to have a massive rebrand.

“Everyone is just too scared to speak their mind and have an opinion, in case they get trolled. Watching everyone agreeing with each other is dull telly in my opinion. I like things a bit sparky and spicy.”

Speaking about the programme needing a non-binary or trans person she said: “Yeah, it does. I want to hear about people’s life stories, not just people’s opinions. Listening to somebody’s story like that and also understanding them, it gives the show purpose and it makes it interesting.”

The businesswoman previously  called for Loose Women to replace her with a “gay, transgender or non-binary” panellist and urged the other women to quit to as they have “had their time”.
