Susannah Constantine, the 53-year-old TV presenter best known for her role on What Not To Wear, has revealed she lost a stone after cutting chocolate from her diet. The revelation comes as she prepares to enter the jungle for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
Constantine, who describes herself as someone who 'lives to eat', admitted that her children gave her some blunt advice before her departure. Her 12-year-old daughter Cece told her to avoid showering in public so viewers wouldn't see her as a 'fat hippo', while 14-year-old Esme questioned how she would cope without food. Her son Joe, 16, was more diplomatic, simply wishing her well.
The presenter also shared tips from her former co-star Trinny Woodall, who advised her to shower in the evening to avoid harsh sunlight highlighting cellulite. Constantine said she is unfazed by the prospect of jungle showers, stating, 'It doesn't bother me at all, I've got to get clean.'
Despite her weight loss, Constantine insists she is not entering the jungle to shed pounds. 'I am not here to lose weight, but if it is a bi-product of the experience, then that is always a bonus,' she said. However, she expressed concern about the limited jungle diet of rice and beans, which can provide as few as 500 calories a day.
