Former Loose Women panellist Nadia Sawalha, 61, has been praised by fans after appearing in a bikini in a beach video. People think she looked "amazing" as she showed off her "toned bod".
Beach video with husband Mark Adderley
Footage emerged of Sawalha strolling along a beach with her husband, Mark Adderley. The former ITV daytime programme panellist was promoting a weekend event when she slipped into a slinky two-piece to advertise it.
Followers branded the couple "couple goals" in the comments. One said: "Beautiful couple you are. Nadia you look lovely in your bikini." Another added: "Absolutely love this. Keep keeping it real. Beautiful lady with a beautiful heart."
Fan reactions to the footage
A third replied: "I just have one thing to say to Nadia. Hot." Meanwhile, a fourth commented: "This is brilliant, sexy and so hilarious." One more also noted: "Wow Nadia, you have a fantastic figure."
Fans were clearly impressed by the duo's appearance and appreciated the fact they injected a bit of "sauciness" into proceedings. Scores shared their admiration for how brilliant they looked, meaning the clip undoubtedly generated significant attention.
Sawalha's exit from Loose Women
Earlier this year, Sawalha opened up about the "complicated" emotions she had been wrestling with following her departure from Loose Women. The TV star, who found fame in EastEnders before joining the daytime chat show at its launch in 1999, previously alleged that ITV producers had repeatedly pulled her from the line-up after she voiced pro-Palestinian views, and she has not featured on the panel since April.
She also confirmed she planned to take legal action against the broadcaster over her alleged treatment. Earlier this year, she claimed to have been "very loyal" to the show's bosses throughout her tenure, yet suggested there would be "mass panic" should she ever attempt to raise her political views on air.
She further admitted to feeling "shocked, sad, and angry" at her abrupt exit. Reflecting on the situation, she said: "So, how do I feel? It's very complicated. It's very, very complicated because there's so many people there that I love. I've always been very loyal to the show and even through these difficult few years, I've been distraught at not ever being able to say anything. I brought up Palestine once. It was very, very hard. Having been in a show where you share everything and then suddenly...the atmosphere was like.. Back to my point. How do I feel? I think I feel in shock. I think I feel sad. I think I feel angry. I think I feel the injustice is breath-taking."
The controversy erupted in April when unfounded allegations surfaced claiming that Sawalha and her husband, Mark, had demonstrated "support for terrorism or hatred of Jews." She subsequently secured substantial libel damages. ITV were contacted for comment when the story was previously published.
