The former panellist announced earlier this month that she was leaving the ITV daytime show, explaining that she had “nothing left to share”.
The presenter has now opened up a bit more about the relationships behind-the-scenes, suggesting that she got on better with some of her co-stars than others.

“You make friends with some people, you tolerate some people, and some people you just have to do a job with,” she said on Scott McGlynn’s Celebrity Skin Talk.
“I’m not going to go into the nitty gritty there now. But there are some friends, some people I will be close to because we share, because get each other. And there are some I really don’t miss at all who I was just like, ‘I just have to tolerate you to do the job’.”
Saira added: “You have to be professional about it. You can’t pretend that everyone is going to be your best friend. Especially on a show with opinions, you’re not going to tolerate everybody’s opinion.
“I think that’s fine. That’s not a problem, but you just do it with respect and you have to be open-minded.”

Explaining her decision to leave when she made her initial announcement, Saira said: “It was a difficult decision, but when you feel there is nothing left to share on a show that is all about sharing, it’s time to bow out.
“I think I’ve shown everyone I’m an opinionated, strong woman, but now I want to focus on pursuing other media projects, running my skincare business, Saira Skin, and developing my love for wellness.”
