Lorraine Kelly admits fooling Weight Watchers members on the app

Lorraine Kelly has admitted fooling other dieters as she used the WW, formerly Weight Watchers, app for support as she lost weight.

The TV personality transformed her lifestyle earlier this year and has now lost two stone and dropped two dress sizes. The presenter said she was eating more during lockdown, and drinking more wine.

But Lorraine said she is now more focused on eating well and living well, and says her zest for life has returned. She has previously said there is "nothing wrong" with gaining weight, but she was "not happy" at a size 14.

During an Instagram Live in April, the 62-year-old said: "I'm feeling more confident and wearing clothes not to disguise anymore wearing clothes that fit me properly and getting into a size 10!

"It does feel so much better, and I am supposed to be a 10 but I was a 14 heading towards a 16 - now there's nothing wrong with that if that's what you're supposed to be but I'm not I'm supposed to be a 10 and when I'm not, I'm just not happy."

She credits WW for her success, and even told the Metro how she went largely unnoticed while speaking with other members for support. When asked if other WW members knew who they were talking to, Lorraine said: "Some of them know but on WW my user name is Lorraine and a few numbers and my profile photo is Angus my dog, so many people didn’t realise."

Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV and the ITV Hub
