A source has since told Express.co.uk that Loose Women Investigates' "award winning Body Stories campaign tackled the taboo of vagina dysmorphia back in 2017 and it is a campaign we are proud of.The source added: “The aim of it was to get women talking about vaginal health issues and smash the stigma of what’s ‘normal’ as female genital surgery soars worldwide.Saira was not involved in this campaign or on the special show that aired around this campaign."Saira, 52, explained that the “shocking” request was just one in a long line of attempts to increase the programme’s ratings.The star also claimed she felt that ITV bosses cared more about viewing figures than her mental health.Saira remembered: “The straw that broke the camel’s back was when one of the young producers was sent running after me to ask whether I would be prepared to open an OnlyFans account.“To say I was shocked was an understatement,” she added. “I could see she herself was mortified to ask me.
