Loose Women star Saira Khan was ready to show the world her perfect body while holidaying in Italy.

The 47-year-old TV star is enjoying a family break with her advertising agency executive husband Steve Hyde and their children Zacgariah and Amara.

The happy group have been soaking up the sun at Lake Garda - while Saira proudly decided to show off her jaw dropping bikini body.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, the dark haired beauty posed against a white wall and said the recent Loose Women Body Positive initiative had given her the confidence to show off her figure.

"The @loosewomen#bodypositive #campaign has given me the confidence to appreciate my body and all it's flaws, she wrote.

"I have #stretchmarks#psoriasis #wobblybits, she continued.

"I don't compare myself to other women with long legs, flat tummies and perfect skin anymore and it does make for a happier holiday #loveyourself, the star added.

Fans flooded her comments section with words of encouragement - with one writing: "The thing about body flaws is only YOU see them. You look stunning!"

Meanwhile, fellow Loose Women star Stacey Solomon also took to social media to give a rousing confidence rally call of her own.

"You're all perfectly imperfect and unique and beautiful, the X Factor star said while posing in a white bikini.
