Fern Britton has revealed how she has lost five stone.
The presenter, 67, has always been candid about her weight - which has ranged between a size 12 and size 22 - and now she has revealed some of her lifestyle changes.
The Celebrity Big Brother star also told Woman&Home magazine she had lost the weight without the help of Ozempic.
“People often wonder when you've lost lots of weight whether you've done it naturally,” she told the publication.
“And I can look at you and say, ‘Yes, I have’.”
The presenter said she was motivated to lose weight and stop smoking after having surgery on her shoulder.
“I had my shoulder replacement 18 months ago, and two-and-a-half years ago, when I saw the surgeon, he said, ‘I’m going to totally replace your shoulder, I'll see you in a year.’
“I thought, ‘I need to get my life back on track. I need to stop smoking, stop drinking, get eating under control and stop lying in bed feeling sorry for myself’.
“So I started the Couch to 5k, took about 80 per cent of the sugar out of my life and started to think about what I was eating, which I had never done before.”
Five years ago, the presenter moved permanently into her Cornish holiday home before renovating it “bit by bit”.
Last year, a 63-year-old man was given a 10-year restraining order for stalking the presenter by sending her flowers and staying in the cottage that she rented out in Cornwall.
