Saira Khan says being on Dancing on Ice is making her ‘feel horny’ after overcoming low sex drive
The Loose Women star says the intimacy of being 'held' while on the ice is what her life has been missing
SAIRA Khan has revealed Dancing On Ice has made her "feel horny" and helped regain her sex drive.
The Loose Women panellist, 48, says preparations for her stint on the show - which returns to ITV this Sunday - has spiced up her marriage to husband Steve Hyde.
"When they have to hold you and look into your eyes, you think, that’s what’s missing in my life!
"I go home to my husband and say, 'I think we need to do some skating.'
"You forget what holding hands and looking into somebody’s eyes feel like.
"My bum and thighs have got slimmer, I’m toning up. I’m eating more as I’m burning it all off."
Saira - who is partnered by Mark Hanretty on the show - also revealed that that her Loose Women co-stars Andrea McLean, Coleen Nolan and Nadia Sawalha, who have previously skated on the ITV show, scared her with backstage tales from their time on the programme.
She said: "They are [supportive], but they have been telling me too many truths!
"Andrea told me about her broken ribs, Nadia said it was the worst thing ever and Coleen did alright, so it’s like, 'Thanks girls, that’s very helpful.'
"But of course, it’s a sisterhood, they want me to do well."
Brian McFadden, Wes Nelson, Jane Danson, Didi Conn, Richard Blackwood and Saara Aalto are among the celebrities taking part on the show this year.
Dancing On Ice returns this Sunday, 6pm, on ITV.
