Lorraine Kelly has updated fans on her weight loss journey. The ITV presenter, who hosts her own self-titled show every weekday, has lost a stone and a half and says she feels "happier and healthier".
The 62-year-old shared earlier this year that she went from a size 10 to a 14 during the coronavirus lockdown, which resulted in a loss of confidence and caused her to miss events.
She told The Mirror in February: "During the pandemic, I started comfort eating and that was my downfall – comfort eating and not being able to go to my fitness classes. When those classes stopped I started eating far too much – it was things that I would probably never bother with.

"Like I wanted muffins, I wanted croissants, I wanted doughnuts. All of these things that you know you shouldn’t be having and you think it’s making you feel better at the time and it doesn’t. And so slowly, slowly, slowly over the past couple of years, I’ve gone from a size 10 to a size 14…"
She added: "I’ve definitely not got as much energy, as the more you do the more energy you’ve got and the classes really gave me that."
Lorraine said she needed "a bit of help" so signed up to WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers. And sharing a congratulations card, the TV host recently revealed she reached her goal.
She told her 494k followers: "GOAL REACHED! Lost one and a half stone!Feel healthier and happier Thank you @ww.uk and @wwsuzystirfry."
Celebrity Ambassador Coach Suzy Stirlin also shared the news on Instagram, telling her thousands of followers: "oweeee! What a day! Please join me in congratulating @lorrainekellysmith for getting to Goal and reaching WW GOLD STATUS!!!
"Lorraine has dropped 21lb resulting in two dress sizes from a size 14 to a comfortable 10. I think you’ll all agree with me that she looks amazing.
"@ww.uk and I couldn’t be prouder of how hard Lorraine has worked and how dedicated to the plan she has been. Her efforts really have paid off and her smile says it all. Well done Lorraine."
Speaking to OK! Magazine about her journey, Lorraine explained: "It’s not about cutting things out completely, but with the Weight Watcher points you get each day, it just makes you more aware of what you’re eating. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
