Fern Britton, 62, once hosted this morning alongside Philip Schofield on This Morning before being replaced by Holly Willoughby. Since leaving the programme she has lost five stone.
Fern also followed a gluten free diet when slimming down, something her former husband Phil Vickery revealed.
The TV chef said: “Fern has cut right back on carbohydrates and eats a really healthy diet now with loads of vegetables and fruit.
“She likes my cooking. Family meals are old-fashioned favourites, like cottage pie or chicken with lots of veg and salad.”
Fern claimed the gastic band surgery played a part in her leaving This Morning.
She told TalkRADIO: “It was all gastric band-gate. It ruffled a few feathers. I think perhaps I became a bit of a liability to ITV. I really don’t know.

“But I know that the day I decided to leave – and I’m not going to get into this now – something happened that morning and I thought, “I’m done” and ITV went, “Thanks very much, goodbye.”‘
Another TV star who has impressed with their weight loss is Gregg Wallace who lost four stone.
The TV greengrocer claimed in an interview over the weekend the thought of being overweight during the coronavirus pandemic terrified him.
Gregg said: “I remember thinking, ‘Oh God, what if I was still fat? I could have been really ill’.”
“I felt incredibly relieved that if I caught it I’d probably be OK,” he told The Telegraph. It’s made me fearful for other men.”
