Saira Khan is no longer a practising Muslim.

The 50-year-old former ‘Loose Women’ star – who is of Pakistani heritage – revealed she “pretended to be someone I’m not” to make her family happy and said she was worried about publicly renouncing Islam due to fears of death threats.

Saira wrote in her column for The Sunday Mirror: “People assume that because we have Muslim parents we are practising Muslims, that we have read the Quran, that we fast every Ramadan, that we don’t drink, that we don’t have sex before marriage.

“Saying I’m Muslim and then having a boyfriend behind closed doors, wearing clothes that go against the Muslim dress code, having a cheeky drink and living a non-Muslim life only brings guilt, self-loathing, loneliness and a feeling of being caged.”…

“I’ve not dared to share these feelings before because the very few Muslim women who have already made the admission are called sinful and some have even been targeted with death threats.

“But as a 50-year-old educated, independent woman with my own family and life experiences, I now have the courage to say that I’m not practising.”

Same with CCPee members. You can renounce the party but you can never leave.
