Saira Khan shocked Loose Women fans when she made a sudden exit from the show earlier this month after five years.

And now, she has dropped a bombshell, admitting she won't be keeping in touch with all of her co-stars because she no longer has to "tolerate" them all.

While she didn't name anyone specifically, Saira said: "You make friends with some people, you tolerate some people, and some people you are just there to do the job with."

Hinting at on-set tension, Saira added: "I'm not going to go into the nitty-gritty here now. There are some I will be close to because we get each other. And there are some I won't miss at all who I was just like 'I just have to tolerate you to do the job'.

Saira hinted at some tension behind-the-scenes of Loose Women

"You have to be professional about it. You can't pretend that you're all going to be best friends. On a show with different opinions, you're not going to tolerate everybody's opinion. That's not a problem, just do it with respect and you have to be open-minded."

The TV star announced her departure in her column for the Sunday Mirror at the beginning of January, explaining the coronavirus pandemic had forced her to re-evaluate her priorities.

Saira didn't reveal which co-stars she won't be keeping in touch with

"It wasn't an easy decision, but one that I needed to make in order to grow myself in other ways," she later wrote on Instagram.

"I came to the show a troubled soul and I will eternally be grateful for the platform @loosewomen gave me to share, speak up and out. I will miss the great women who have become my very close friends. I feel honoured and privileged to have sat alongside them and learnt from them."
