Saira Khan has gotten candid about her 'struggle' to get her eight-year-old daughter, Amara, to eat properly.
The Loose Women star has revealed that she can feel like a 'bad mum' to her little girl, and spoke to her co-hosts on the panel about how they deal with their own children who have 'fussy' eating habits.
"I'll tell you what the problem with that was that I had Zac, my firstborn - a piece of cake," she explained. "No problem at all! He was eating olives at the age of two, garlic, this that. And then I had Amara."
"I go back and think I wonder if it's because I didn't carry Amara, Amara was adopted. I don't know what her mother ate," the TV star continued.
"I don't know what the diet was but it was, and only until very recently, she's eight now, it has been a real struggle. First of all, she has a tiny tummy, she's teeny, and that's why I'm anxious because I need her to get all of the nutrients."
Saira adopted Amara with her husband Steven Hyde in 2011 after she gave birth to their son Zac in 2008.
The mother-of-two became emotional as she opened up about the process of adopting her Pakistani daughter from an orphanage after she was abandoned.
"All I remember is when they put her in my arms, she was mine. That was it. I looked into these eyes, huge eyes, and they were staring back at me like that," said the mum.
She added; "I got a phone call six days after going into Pakistan and at that moment I had to make a decision. I don't know what's wrong with this baby, I will never know about her medical condition, what do I do?"
"The doctor said, 'Do you want to carry on or do you want to take the baby back?'
"And I said, 'This baby is mine and whatever happens to her, I am taking her back to the UK.' And I did. She was in intensive care for seven days."
