Lorraine Kelly was literally left red faced after taking part in a Zumba class as pat of a new fitness drive.
The Scots born morning presenter who turned 62 at the end of November has decided to try and get fit again.
She had previously told our sister paper The Mirror that she had put weight on during the coronavirus pandemic. She said at the time: “I know that I've really got a little bit of work to do – and I need help. I don’t feel like myself anymore.
"I knew that if I didn’t do something I’d be a 16, and then I’d be an 18.
"There is nothing wrong with being a size 14, but my body is supposed to be a 10.
"On Lorraine, we have models who are size 14, 16, 18, and they are perfectly proportioned, they’re perfectly healthy."
Lorraine told follower watching her Instagram that she had gone back to Zumba for the first time in two years.
And she decided to film herself following a class as she admitted how much effort it was to get back into the swing of things.
Lorraine whose face was red after the work out said: "Right, that’s my first Zumba class in two years and it was fantastic but look at my face!
“But I’m coming back tomorrow. It feels great and I feel like I’m back on track."
She also wrote online: “FIRST Fitness class in over two years! Knackered but so much fun!
“Finally on way to feeling healthier and happier! @ ww.uk #healthy #fun".
The presenter's followers were delighted at her progress and encouraged her.
One said: "Fantastic effort Lorraine! You have inspired me to re-join WW this morning and I have just done 40 minutes swimming, so…thank you!"
Another laughed: "I say to my zumba teacher that if I don't leave like a sweaty tomato then her playlist wasn't hard enough..."
"I always leave like a sweaty tomato. Such a great mood lifting workout x"
Another said: "Your lovely red face is sparking Joy - just pure Zumba joy."
