‘A lot of smiling crocodiles!’ Saira Khan aims swipe at Loose Women panel after show exit | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Saira Khan, 51, took to social media this weekend to defend her former co-star Coleen Nolan. The ex-Loose Women presenter, who left the show in early 2021, also took a swipe at the other panellists. 

Saira stood up for Coleen, 56, after recent reports, which have since been denied, claimed that many of her co-stars had refused to work with her on the ITV programme.

The star took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the programme with her 291,000 followers. 

On her story, she revealed that it was her understanding that Coleen “is not the problem”, while claiming at the same time that there are “a lot of smiling crocodiles on that show”. 

Sharing a picture of the article in question, which Coleen has since said is entirely false, Saira called out the claims and her former colleagues, without specifying who she was referring to.

In an interview with Platinum magazine in July 2021, she admitted: “TV became too toxic.”

“We are paid to be feisty as that’s what makes good telly. I left on my terms.”

She continued: “People think you’re best friends with everybody on Loose Women.

“You’re absolutely not! You have to just tolerate [some people] because you’ve got to get the job done.”
