Lorraine Kelly has credited a particular type of exercise class with helping her shed two stone. The 66-year-old ITV presenter made the comments while on holiday in Spain, telling her Instagram followers she had just attended a Zumba class.
"It was fantastic, but I'm absolutely sweating," she said. "It was so good though, I think you've got to do exercise that you really enjoy, and that was amazing."
Wedding dress milestone
In 2022, Lorraine signed up to WW, formerly Weight Watchers. After just a few months following the programme, she claimed to be "ready for anything" and was able to squeeze back into her wedding dress from 30 years earlier.
The presenter has been open about her journey towards a healthier way of life in recent years, previously revealing she felt disheartened after piling on the pounds during lockdown.
"Weight loss secrets"
Opening up about her "weight loss secrets", Lorraine told Hello! magazine: "When I was in Spain back at the start of the year just before joining WW, I really needed help to get fit again after piling on the pandemic pounds."
She added: "I also no longer eat large pizzas! Nothing is off-limits, but a slice is more than enough these days. Using the WW app, I can easily find the points value of every type of food imaginable, even in restaurants while on holiday."
Lorraine continued: "I've been drinking lots of water and sleeping really well too and my favourite thing is that there's a WW community and we all support each other online. It's all about feeling fit and healthy and I have so much more energy now and feel a lot more confident."
Warning on faddy diets
Speaking to the Independent in 2023, Lorraine voiced her disapproval of trendy diets, saying: "I think it's crazy in January all of a sudden to say, 'I'm going for a 10-mile run', or going on a stupid, faddy diet, because they don't work. We know diets don't work, you will lose weight, but you'll just put it all back on again because it's not sustainable."
She added: "It's great to have goals but make it realistic. Because so many people towards the end of [January] are just like, 'Oh forget it', and that's sad."
