Kirstie Allsopp, 50, appears on Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It tonight on Channel 4. The two hosts will go head to head as they battle it out to convince homeowners to either sell or refurbish their houses.
Viewers watching tonight, December 22, will be reminded of Kirstie’s recent weight loss transformation.
The presenter admitted she started to put on weight when she was in her early 40s.
She therefore decided to do something about it – especially as there are health risks for people who are overweight at 50 or older.
Being overweight can lead to serious health conditions such as type two diabetes, coronary heart disease, some types of cancer, and stroke, according to the NHS.

An avocado and egg in a wholegrain tortilla wrap could be a good option, or a Greek yoghurt with berries and nuts.
As for drinking plenty of water throughout the day, this is paramount for overall health, but also keeps slimmers feeling fuller for longer.
“I haven’t really been a pasta person for a while. It’s viewing vegetables as carbs. It’s always the beans, the broccoli – there’s no need for potatoes.”
Kirstie also started to do regular exercise to slim down.
She added: “On a working day, I get up at 6.15am and I’m straight into my exercise kit for a workout.
“I run up hills and then walk down them.
“At 7am I wake the kids.”
