Fern Britton displayed her impressive five stone weight loss as she left Global Radio on Wednesday. 

The TV presenter, 67, has long been open about her weight struggles, having fluctuated between a size 22 and a size 12 over the years. 

And she showed off her trim figure as she strolled through London, sporting a white frilly blouse and ripped straight leg cropped jeans.  

Fern had been a guest at Global Radio promoting her upcoming novel A Cornish Legacy – which comes out on Thursday and centres on Wilderhoo – a fictional 1,000-year-old Cornish house that has gone to rack and ruin. 

She recently revealed the turning point behind her dramatic weight loss in an interview with Woman&Home magazine.

Fern reflected on the powerful moment she decided to take back control of her health.

She told the publication: ‘People often wonder when you lose lots of weight whether you’ve done it naturally. 

‘And I can look at you and say, “Yes, I have”.’

‘I had my shoulder replacement 18 months ago, and two-and-a-half years ago, when I saw the surgeon, he said, “I’m going to totally replace your shoulder, I’ll see you in a year.” 

‘I thought, “I need to get my life back on track. I need to stop smoking, stop drinking, get eating under control and stop lying in bed feeling sorry for myself”. 

‘So I started the Couch to 5k, took about 80 per cent of the sugar out of my life and started to think about what I was eating, which I had never done before.’

Five years ago, the presenter moved permanently into her Cornish holiday home before renovating it ‘bit by bit’. 

A Cornish Legacy, which is Fern’s 11th novel, took the star two years to write – twice longer than normal.
