Fern Britton, 67, has revealed the two life-changing things she did to lose five-stone in weight.
The former This Morning host has opened up about her weight loss, insisting she went from a size 22 and a size 12 "naturally".
The 67-year-old has confessed all she has done to lose the weight is cut out sugar from her diet and embark on a fitness journey, attending 6am gym classes and taking on Couch to 5K.
Fern told Woman & Home: "People often wonder when you've lost lots of weight whether you've done it naturally. And I can look at you and say, 'Yes, I have'."
She revealed what spurred her on to lose weight, saying: "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."

This isn't the first time Fern has opened up about her incredible weight loss, telling fans earlier this year: "I've started running again and gone back to couch to 5K.
"New year, new fitness regime. Later on in the year I'll be walking a small leg of the south west coast parts which will take about a week to do.
"I'll be meeting my friend, who will be doing the whole 360 miles of coast, but I'm in training doing some walks throughout the week and wearing a rucksack with some weight in it and wearing my boots to wear them in.
"I shall start running again, two or three times a week and I'm going to start cycling again and will do some weights to get my arms and shoulder a bit stronger again."
Following her dramatic change, Fern also revealed whether she was on the hunt for romance, saying: "I'm not looking for love - I'm still a bit too wary of losing my liberty.
"There's nobody to run something past but, on the other hand, I think back to running things past people and it never really worked out, so why don’t I just make my own decision? Then I’m the only person who can go, ‘I f***** up there."
