Saira Khan has dropped hints about unknown personality clashes between the Loose Women panel.
The former Apprentice star, 50, announced earlier this month she is quitting the popular ITV daytime show.
And she hinted at secret tension as she admitted she won't continue speaking to all of her co-stars when she moves on, as reports the Mirror.
Saira's departure will see her follow Scottish host Andrea McLean out the door.
She gave a candid interview to Instagram TV show Celebrity Skin Talk host Scott McGlynn about her fellow panelists.
When asked who out of the Loose Women panel she'd stay friends with, Saira said: "You make friends with some people, you tolerate some people, and some people you just have to do the job with."
She then teased: "I'm not going to go into the nitty gritty there now. There are some friends.. people I will be close to because we get each other.
"And there are some I really don't miss at all who I was just like, "I just have to tolerate you to do the job".
Saira went on: "You have to be professional about it. You can't pretend that everyone is going to be your best friend. Especially on a show with different opinions, you're not going to tolerate everybody's opinion.
"That's fine. That's not a problem, just do it with respect and you have to be open minded."
Speaking out the relationship backstage, she said: "Sometimes I'd go in with an opinion and someone would say something different to me and I'd think "Do you know what I never saw it from that point of view!'"
Saira was then asked about the diversity on Loose Women, after she previously called for standards to improve across British TV.
Agreeing the daily lunchtime show needed a gay member of the panel, Saira said: "We need LGBTQ representation on daytime.
"Where you are sharing your life stories and you are helping to shape people's opinions and giving them education helping them to broaden their minds it's absolutely fundamental to have someone from that community on a show that can help shape that."
Saira also hinted that she had grown tired of talking about certain topics on the show - including ex royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
"I don't want to just talk about Harry and Meghan, I couldn't give a flying monkeys," she said.
Saira then added: "I'm not just going to stay on the show for free make-up and a nice wardrobe!"
Former Celebrity Big Brother contestant joined Loose Woman in 2015 - ten years after she finished runner up the first ever series of Lord Sugar's BBC series.
Taking to Instagram this week, she plugged an article by Gideon Spencer for Campaign magazine, saying it "really opened my eyes to the facts about the TV industry for which I have now worked in for over 15 years".
"What's fundamentally important is Representation of BAME and LGBTQ groups should not just be at the 'frontline level' - we've recently seen an increase in the hiring of many Black presenters on our screens, fronting mainstream shows, which has been fantastic, and long over due.
"But what about that level of investment behind the screens at writer, editor, commissioner levels?" she asked.
"I speak from experience - you get invited through the door - but you're never really sitting at the table," she added.
