Baroness Karren Brady has dismissed rumours that she used the diabetes drug Ozempic for weight loss, insisting her transformation is the result of a 'health kick' and regular exercise. The 56-year-old Apprentice star told The Sun she is not on the medication, adding that questions about women's bodies often come up more than they should.
Brady, who is a mother-of-two and grandmother, said her motivation came from wanting to be a 'healthy grandma'. She revealed that she works out three to four times a week, doing a routine that includes cardio, weights, and swimming. 'It is okay losing it, it is keeping it off,' she told The Mail on Sunday, describing her weight loss as 'bloody hard work'.
Ozempic, which contains semaglutide, is prescribed for type 2 diabetes but can lead to weight loss as a side effect. Brady emphasised that anyone can do what they want with their body, but she prefers conversations to focus on her work rather than her appearance. She also noted that she has been labelled 'too fat, too thin, and everything in between' over the years.
Brady, who returns to The Apprentice on January 29, previously said she would lose up to five kilos before each series launch to avoid looking large next to co-star Alan Sugar. She also underwent a skin-tightening treatment last August, which she credited with giving her confidence to wear short sleeves again.
