X Factor star Saara Aalto says Loose Women should have a lesbian panelist

X Factor star Saara Aalto has said that she thinks that Loose Women should have a lesbian panelist.

Appearing on Lorraine, she opened up about her relationship with personal trainer Meri Sopanen.

The pair got engaged back in August 2016 and are still planning their big day - but still seem to be too busy to arrange a date.

"We wrote a song together which is incredible, we've never done anything like that before," she said. "I mean we worked together and we've done some TV shows together.

Lorraine exclaimed in response: "I'm here for them! Any time."

"Like loose women, they should have a lesbian panelist," Saara continued.

"Absolutely! Absolutely, of course! we're very open to all," Lorraine insisted.

Saara opened up about the moment her partner popped the question in 2016.

She told OK! Magazine: "I washed off my make-up, put on my pyjamas and sat on the sofa. She just said: ‘Oh, we had a lovely day…’ Then: ‘Will you marry me?’"
