Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha has admitted she expected backlash for recreating Kim Kardashian's recent beach snap in a bid to promote realistic body standards. The 57-year-old dressed in skimpy black briefs and posed on a log in her garden, captioning the post 'Bottoms up!'
The TV personality said she is a 'huge fan' of the Kardashian family but wanted to show a more relatable body. One fan commented: 'This is the most relatable arse I've ever seen', which Nadia said she might have put on her gravestone.
Nadia said she reads all comments and anticipated criticism. 'It's total rubbish when people call me a body confident person. I'm not,' she told The Mirror. 'I've just got acceptance that it's been so nice to me this body and I feel so bad about the way I've been so horrible to it.'
The Loose Women panellist revealed she has been on at least 25 fad diets over the decades, noting the average Brit tries 17. She said a turning point came during Loose Women's 2017 Body Stories campaign, where she posed in unedited pictures, and she decided two years ago not to embark on a restrictive January diet.
Nadia now supports the David Lloyd Clubs' Wellness Pledge, which calls for responsible advertising in the fitness industry. 'Moderation is a really sexy word,' she concluded.
