Loose Women star poses topless as she showcases lockdown weight loss

Saira Khan has been showing off her lockdown weight loss by posting a few topless snaps.

The Loose Women star began her body transformation at the start of the year and has been updating her social media followers on her journey.

But due to the UK's lockdown, Saira's progress has been accelerated and she has been reflecting on her personal achievements in a lengthy statement posted on Instagram.

Alongside pictures, which were taken at wellness retreat in Spain earlier this week, Saira is seen just donning a pair of bikini bottoms but maintained her modesty by having her back to the camera.

The 50-year-old wrote alongside the pictures: "I rarely take time to reflect on what I have personally achieved in my life. Not in terms of material possessions, but as a person emotionally and spiritually.

"I’ve just always strived for more and more without taking the time to stop, breathe and pat myself on the back and to be truly grateful, thankful and proud of where I've come from to where I am now.

"The house, cars, clothes, etc are not the signs of success - for me it's being happy with the person I am, having my family, friends and health. All these things I've worked hard for and overcome obstacles to achieve them against all the odds."

She added: "These are all the things money can't buy - but are a reflection of your values and priorities.

"Taking time to reflect helps me to put things into perspective, and not be so hard on myself. If you can give yourself 15 mins today, just stop and give yourself a pat on the back if you think you deserve it. If you don’t, nobody else will."

Saira concluded: "You are doing better than you think. Appreciate your efforts and enjoy them today."

The TV presenter also posted a before and after bikini snap after spending seven days at a wellness sanctuary.

But she was quick to point out it wasn't simply about weight loss, it was about "escaping from 'noise' and finding myself again."
