(PA) Saira Khan has said there were parts of her job on Loose Women that weren’t compatible with being “part of the sisterhood”, leaving her so uncomfortable she had to leave.

(Brett Cove/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) She told Hello! magazine: "There were elements both on screen and behind the scenes of being a Loose Woman that towards the end I didn't enjoy and I didn't feel it was part of the sisterhood. “It wasn't making me happy, so I had to bow out, look after my mental health and give someone else my platform.” Khan added: "I had a great five years and I did what I wanted to do with my platform, which was share my stories and experiences being from a minority background. There's nothing more I can say that's new."
