Martine McCutcheon has admitted she wasn’t “brave enough” to strip down for the Body Stories campaign alongside her fellow Loose Women panellists.
The Loose ladies bared their un-airbrushed bods earlier this week in a photo shoot to promote body confidence.
But Martine, 40, didn’t take part despite being a big part of the ITV talk show.

Loose Women’s official Instagram account posted a snap of the black and white shoot thanking fans for their support.
They captioned the picture: “Thanks for all your support for our Body Stories campaign! #MyBodyMyStory #loosewomen.”
The former EastEnders star commented on the photo saying: “The Beautiful and the brave!! Love you all darlings @loosewomen I admit it – I wasn’t brave enough to do it!! Well done ladies!! X.”
And the mum-of-one wasn’t the only panellist to not be in the campaign.
Ruth Langsford, 57, was criticised for not joining her co-stars Katie Price, Andrea McLean, Coleen Nolan and Linda Robson for the shoot despite being a huge part of the show.
Fans were left wondering where Ruth was as the photo was shared on social media.

One said: “Why on earth was Ruth not in the picture, when she’s a major part of the show!!!!!”
Another added: “@RuthieeL not taking part? Shame on you Ruth. Well done to the others!”
But during a live Facebook interview Andrea McLean revealed why Ruth didn’t take part.
Talking about Ruth’s absence from the campaign Andrea, 47, revealed: “It is really straightforward. We were not chosen, we were all asked if we wanted to be involved but not everyone was available on the day.”
Panellist Linda Robson added: “Ruth was probably doing This Morning on that day – and that’s why she wasn’t there but all of the Loose Women stars were asked.”
The panellists have been praised for the campaign by viewers.
On Instagram one wrote: “So inspiring, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Such a refreshing change from what most celebs want us to see.”
“Well done ladies, you are a real inspiration to all of us. Body confidence effects us all,” another added.
