But Saira admitted that said the uncertain nature of her roles on shows such as Loose Women also affected her day-to-day life due to lack of sleep.
The former ITV personality explained: "Working in TV did have an impact on my sleep because the work is never regular and there are no set times.
"So it was either early mornings, late nights and going to bed feeling mentally exhausted which really impaired my sleep."
