Panic attack: Saira Khan has confessed she had her first panic attack during training for the ITV skating competition, while training with pro ice-skater Mark Hanretty

She told her fellow Loose Women panelists on Wednesday: 'For the first time in my life I experienced anxiety, and I had a mini panic attack.

'I didn't realise what it was but I got myself so worked up, the fact that I had to demonstrate in front of other people what I was doing. And also, a lot of them are better than me.'

She was left 'sweating' and 'shaking' on the floor as Mark tried to calm her down, before making herself get back on the ice.

Saira - who also conceded she put herself in this position by signing up for the figure skating competition - said: 'I just thought, I've just gotta do this.'

The outspoken panelist revealed she had never experienced anxiety before and had been dismissive of people talking about it in the past.

She added: 'I think in the past when people have said "I'm a bit anxious about something" or "I don't feel confident", I would literally say "Get a grip, and get on with it".'

Meanwhile, the star - who was raised in a Muslim household - previously revealed she has warned her mother she'll be embracing the sparkly and skintight costumes she's given on the show and won't be dressing as modestly as she would like.

She said: 'I was brought up in a Muslim household where I couldn't wear what I wanted. I remember watching Jayne Torvill perform Bolero, whizzing round in that floaty dress and thinking, "I wish I could wear that".

'But what I wear has always been an issue in my community - even now, when I'm nearly 50. My mum will still say, "Don't embarrass me" and I tell her, "Mum, I can't go on the ice wearing a burqa".'

'Bless her. I really want my mum to see that just because I'm an Asian Muslim woman doesn't mean I can't do anything I want, given the opportunity.' 

She added: 'I think in the past when people have said "I'm a bit anxious about something" or "I don't feel confident", I would literally say "Get a grip, and get on with it"'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
