Nadia Sawalha says being pregnant was 'the only time' she really loved her body

Loose Women panelist Nadia Sawalha has revealed that being pregnant was 'the only time' she really loved her body.

The 57-year-old star, who is mum to two daughters Maddie and Kiki, had a lot to say on Thursday's show as they spoke about having babies.

Nadia was joined on the panel by Jane Moore, Katie Piper and Charlene White as she discussed the possibility of machines being able to grow human life outside of the body.

"It's been created for those who are unable to have children," Charlene explained as she said the option of doing so could be just two generations away.

Looking shocked, Nadia said: "An incredible invention for those people who can't but at the same time you worry where that could end up.

"I was lucky enough, I loved being pregnant. It was the only time I really loved my body, I was the most body confident," she continued.

"I felt like the cleverest person in the whole world that I was just chatting to people while growing a lung!"

"The thing is with me, I was an absolute reprobate before I got pregnant. I was a smoker, I was a drinker, I was a partier," Nadia continued.

"I often say actually, in a way my children saved my life because I think I was on a terrible trajectory. But I got pregnant and it's almost like it was the training to fix all of that, the drinking, the smoking."

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
