Alison Hammond showed off her 11-stone weight loss during a day on the set of Great British Bake Off.
Hammond, who weighed 28 stone at her heaviest, managed to get down to 16 and a half stone and reverse a pre-diabetic diagnosis by overhauling her fitness and diet regime.
The This Morning star, 50, revealed she had heard “scare stories” about weight loss injections and had been too “frightened” to try them.
She displayed her trim frame in a series of glamorous photos posted by her “glam man” Mikey Phillips on Instagram on Thursday.
The presenter looked incredible as she posed in a white T-shirt, colourful A-line skirt, and a denim jacket.
Hammond’s celebrity friends flooded the comments with their praise, with Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison writing, “Nah she's too fit ,” while TOWIE star Georgia Kousoulou left a series of heart-eye emojis.
The new series of the Channel 4 baking competition GBBO returned on September 2, with Hammond and Noel Fielding returning to host and Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood judging the contestants.
Hammond dropped jaws when she lost a staggering amount of weight after committing to four fitness sessions a week with a personal trainer and a healthier diet.
Her transformation followed years of ups and downs with her weight, including undergoing a gastric band in 2007, which she later had removed after her body rejected it.
Hammond’s mother Maria had raised concerns when the TV star was diagnosed pre-diabetic and she chose to address the issue following her parent’s passing in 2020 from lung and liver cancer.
“I've got a personal trainer - she's amazing, she trains me when I can train,” she told Heat.
“If I'm working, I don't train, I'll go for a walk. But when I'm at home, I'll go and have a session with her in the morning, just an hour. It might be four days a week.”
As for her diet, Hammond sets her day up with an immune system-boosting ginger shot and tucking into a Full English breakfast, consisting of eggs, bacon and sausages, which she will sit down to enjoy with her son Aiden.
On days when she is working, she will typically eat Caribbean food for lunch, such as rice, peas and chicken, and if she is at home, she’ll cook herself lasagne.
Of her evening meals, she told the Sunday Times magazine: “If I'm staying in I'll rustle up curried goat and rice or chicken fried rice.”
