Nadia Sawalha is extremely close to her family and is planning to make a significant lifestyle change in January after being inspired by her older sister Dina and their parents. The Loose Women panellist revealed that she is planning on going Vegan for the first month of 2020 during a discussion on her YouTube channel on Monday. She told her viewers: "I'm thinking of going vegan for January. It's quite good because my dad is going to do it, and my mum and my sister Dina, and I think Mark is as well. And I think because a lot of us will be doing it – as you know my mum, dad and sister all live next door – so I think it makes life a lot easier."

Not only is Nadia planning on giving up meat and dairy, but she is also going to stop drinking alcohol for 100 days too. The star took part in the challenge at the beginning of 2019 and felt a lot better for it, losing nearly a stone in the process. What's more, her husband, Mark Adderley, doesn't drink. She explained: "I said I am going to do this 100 days sober as well. I did feel really good last year and I lost nearly a stone. And as Mark said, he said it was so nice for him having someone else who wasn't drinking – he doesn't drink – so all of those things are coming in the new year."
