Nadia is setting a body positive example for her two daughters, Maddy, 17, and Kiki, 12, who she shares with husband of 18 years Mark Adderley.
Last month, the Loose Women presenter took to Instagram to share a snap of her unruly lockdown hair, telling her followers it was time to dye her grey roots.
A make-up free Nadia looked a little skeptical about the job in hand in the selfie and said she was prompted dye her hair after a friend said it ‘looks rank’.
Nadia wrote: ‘It’s time …… I’m coming to getcha ROOTs !!!! Hate doing my roots ?? I can’t get round the back ! I skip the colour everywhere and I miss the chat?!! Anyone else missing the hairdressers ???? Share your pain with me!!!’
The TV personality recently told how she has been suffering from anxiety amid the global coronavirus crisis.

‘I know we’re lucky because we’ve got quite a big house and garden, I have a husband I like and children who are well-behaved.’
In April, said she believes in ‘survivor’s guilt’, having overcome struggles with her mental health in the past.
Speaking to MailOnline following the special from-home edition of Loose Women, the actress reflected: ‘It was very emotional to be back on the air. In fact I spent so much time yesterday on and off with tear. And I’m not a crier.
‘In recovery they talk about getting your feelings back – and it’s the best and worst thing! I feel like that with all of this that’s going on, I’ve been sadder, happier, I’ve laughed like never before, and then I’ve found myself welling up.
‘And that’s because of the comments we’ve received about being back on the air, even if for that one episode.
‘I think on Loose Women we tap into the pulse of how people are feeling. It’s very validating for us and for them.’
Cheeky! Her figure was on full display in the images
