Loose Women star Coleen Nolan was thrilled to be reunited with her former co-star Saira Khan during her vacation in Bali. The beloved presenter is currently enjoying a sunny getaway with her son Shane, daughter Ciara, and soon-to-be son-in-law Maxx.
During her time in Bali, Coleen took the opportunity to catch up with Saira, who had been her colleague on Loose Women for several years before Saira’s departure. Coleen shared a photo of their reunion on Instagram, which garnered attention from her 361,000 followers.
In the picture, both women can be seen smiling happily as they lean in towards each other. Coleen is wearing a flowy black and white dress paired with Birkenstocks, while Saira sports an orange vest top and blue shorts with orange stripe detailing, completed with flip flops.
Coleen simply captioned the photo: “Meeting up with one of my besties in Bali.. @iamsairakhan,” followed by a heart emoji. Saira commented: “Love you with all my heart. So special to see you here with your beautiful family.”
Fans were overjoyed to see the two friends together again and expressed their delight in the comments section. One fan gushed: “Love seeing you both together. Lovely! @iamsairakhan.” Another enthused: “Awwwwww lovely, have a fantastic time.”
Saira, who gained fame as the runner-up on The Apprentice in 2005, was a panelist on Loose Women for five years from 2015 to 2020.
This week, Saira opened up about her decision to leave the show, revealing that she had disagreements with her co-stars and bosses. However, she clarified that she didn’t have a falling out with everyone, as she still maintains contact with four of her former colleagues. Saira shared with Woman’s Own: “I recently went out with Ruth [Langsford] to go and see Coleen [Nolan] on her solo tour in Blackpool. I keep in touch with Andrea [McLean] and Denise [Welch]. I know people think I fell out with them all, but it wasn’t about the girls, it was more about me, to be honest with you.”
Saira explained that her decision to leave was about personal growth and setting boundaries. She stated, “It was more about me growing up and saying, ‘Look, this is what I like, and this is what I don’t like,’ and some of the things that go on, I was just not comfortable with it, and I think you have to be honest with it. It doesn’t mean you’re falling out, it just means it’s not enough for me.”
