Who would not enjoy a panel show occupying itself with the lives of its host and the celebrities on board? Perhaps a panelist herself. The show in concern here is Loose Women, and the entity is its former jurywoman, Saira Khan. The reason for us to byname her in the past tense is simple: She left the show. But the reason for her to do so is something you may want to ponder upon: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

In a recent exclusive interview with Express UK, the 52-year-old English television personality cited her reasons to leave the ITV Daytime panel show. Although her explanations come after almost two years of departing from the show; Loose Women’s major topic of interest, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were a major part of it. Rather, it was the show’s sincere attention to the royals’ everyday whereabouts that irritated Khan.

“I just thought, I don’t care! I am not interested in your (Harry and Meghan’s) life,” Khan stated her reasons eloquently to Express. She said she had “to really scrape the barrel of my brain to share my thoughts on it.” She also voiced her opinions that the times and the world are changing and one should rather talk about millions of people dying or a junior serving doctor than the royals.

And when asked if she would ever join back the show, Khan replied only if she felt the panel show made the required “fundamental changes.” But certainly not right now. Elsewhere in the interview, the mother of the two stated OnlyFans was also a reason for her to leave the show.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were not the only reason!

According to Khan, the owners of Loose Women and her bosses apparently asked her to join the adult website OnlyFans as a PR stunt. And before quitting, they also asked her to have a mold made of her vagina. And that was it for her. Khan would understate if she said it shocked her, but the employee who asked this was herself “mortified,” Khan wrote in her column for Express UK. “I felt humiliated, angry, disappointed, and like fodder.” 

So a clash in views and such clandestine requests perhaps made the television personality leave the show. What are your thoughts on it? Do let us know in the comments below.
