Saira told fans she was setting herself ‘realistic goals’, and added: ‘Belly fat is a sign I’m overeating and I need to give myself a kick up the a**e.’

Reflecting on her injury, Saira said she felt ‘depressed’ and her ‘head wasn’t in the right place’ afterwards, informing fans: ‘I’ve had a good talking to my self.

‘Emotional eating, eating the wrong food, eating wrong times. I’m ready to take control and hit my goals (sic).’

Last week, Saira revealed a leg injury caused her to ’emotionally eat and put on weight’ in a candid Instagram post she shared.

Saira slipped into lace black underwear by Gossard as she reflected on her diet and exercise habits in the past couple of months after breaking her fibular bone last October.

‘I’m not going to hate myself’, the presenter declared, before adding she has returned to walking and leading a healthier lifestyle in recent weeks.

The TV star looked typically radiant as she was dressed in the two-piece, which featured a T-shirt bra and matching briefs.

Detailing her wellbeing, the broadcaster said: ‘I was just going to put a nice photograph of myself, but what I really want to talk about is this.

‘Since last September, when I broke my fibular bone until this moment, I haven’t been able to do the things that I want to do when it comes to my fitness.

‘I’m normally doing burpees, running and loads of cardio. That really has affected my mental health, and as a result, I’ve been emotionally eating and I have put on fat. I just feel uncomfortable in my clothes and it gets me down.’

On being in touch with her body’s ‘energy and health’ levels, the host said: ‘I know when I feel good and energetic and healthy. Since last week, I’ve been able to walk.

‘Walking has lifted my mood and spirits, and improved my mental health. I’m back into it and I feel really positive again.

‘Many of us want to do everything at once, my priority is to heal, so all I can do is walk and I’m going to enjoy it. Now my mental health is back in a good place, I’m going to focus on my diet. In the meantime, I’m not going to hate myself.

‘I’m grateful that I have a body that I know how to get fit and healthy and I’m just going to enjoy the process. We beat up ourselves too much.

‘I know my shape and when I start putting weight around [her stomach], my body is telling me I’m eating too much and not exercising.

‘Eat less, move more. I also have diabetes in my family so I have to be very careful – it’s a lot more to do with health than weight.’
