Saira Khan is a British television personality, entrepreneur, and prominent racial equality advocate, best known for her role as a panellist on ITV’s Loose Women. Drawing on her own experiences growing up in a working-class Pakistani Muslim family in the UK, Saira speaks powerfully on issues surrounding identity, race, and inclusion. Her lived experiences have made her a passionate and authentic voice in the diversity and equality space. In addition to her media work, she runs her own skincare company, SairaSkin, which champions natural ingredients and inclusive beauty. As a speaker, she regularly addresses topics such as Achieving Your Full Potential in the Face of Adversity, Entrepreneurship, Employee Engagement, Leveraging Diversity in Your Organisation, and How to Sell Yourself—all underpinned by her commitment to equality and representation.
Saira first rose to national attention in 2005 as the runner-up on the inaugural series of The Apprentice. Her confidence, candour, and business acumen captured public admiration and laid the foundation for her future career. She went on to launch her first skincare business, Miamoo, driven by her desire to create products suitable for sensitive skin—something she personally struggled with. Over the years, Saira established herself as a household name in British media, with roles as presenter of Temper Your Temper (2006), Saira Khan’s Pakistan Adventure (2007), and Adopting Abroad: Saira’s Story (2011). She also co-hosted The Martin Lewis Money Show (2012), and by 2015 became a regular on Loose Women, known for her honest takes on race, mental health, and women’s rights.
Her visibility and impact have earned her significant recognition. In both 2013 and 2015, she was nominated for the Services to Media Award at the British Muslim Awards, reflecting her influence as a British Asian woman in television. She later appeared on Celebrity Big Brother (2016) and Dancing on Ice (2019), further cementing her profile as a relatable and resilient public figure. In 2021, Saira chose to step back from Loose Women to focus on SairaSkin and her advocacy work, continuing her mission to inspire and empower others, especially marginalised communities.
Saira’s speaking topics are deeply personal and delivered with authenticity. Whether discussing overcoming adversity or teaching organisations how to embrace diversity, her message is consistent: difference should be seen as strength. Her focus on racial equality is not academic—it’s lived. This, combined with her business savvy and media presence, makes her a compelling speaker for corporate, educational, and cultural events. Saira is hired not just for her knowledge, but for the powerful way she connects her story to universal challenges, empowering audiences to think differently and act inclusively.

“Since Monday I have had lots of great feedback from women who were inspired by your talk, your honesty and tips on getting to the top, so thank you again for donating your time and energy.”
“Saira was excellent last week. The audience had a great night and thoroughly enjoyed her presentation, mixing and mingling.”
“Saira hosted the Action Medical Research ladies’ lunch in Glasgow this year. She was phenomenal. Intelligent, witty, full of energy and charming into the bargain, she had the† audience eating out of her hand from the start. As the organiser of the event, I would have to say Saira was my dream host. I sent her a schedule, an outline of a speech and needed just one conversation before she took the stage.† Saira sailed through her address with her heart and soul. †No baby-sitting was required and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. We’re definitely inviting her back next year! Pure magic!”
“Saira is truly an inspiration, she is a down to earth, genuine hardworking woman who radiates motivation and the desire to succeed. I was completely engrossed in her presentation and found her story and experiences fascinating. She certainly “does it for the girls”.”
