Saira Khan says skating on ‘Dancing on Ice’ is making her "feel horny".
The ‘Loose Women’ panellist – who has been married to husband Steve Hyde since 2004 – will appear on the upcoming 11th series of the popular ITV skating competition, and she admitted the intimacy of being "held" while on the ice is what her life is "missing".
Speaking to OK! magazine, the 48-year-old star said: "All this skating is making me feel horny!
"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 also confessed that her ‘Loose Women’ co-stars Andrea McLean, Coleen Nolan and Nadia Sawalha – who have previously skated on the ITV show – have told her too many scary truths about the programme.
Opening up about if her pals have been supportive, Saira – who is partnered by Mark Hanretty on the show – told OK! magazine: "They are, 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 to ITV on Sunday (06.01.19).
