Lorraine Kelly reveals she has regained confidence after losing 1.5 stone she won in lockdown
“I’m back in my size 10 jeans!” : Lorraine Kelly reveals she has regained her confidence after losing the 1.5 stone she gained during lockdown
Lorraine Kelly has revealed she has regained her confidence after dropping two dress sizes and losing 1.5 stone.
The 62-year-old TV legend admitted that before the lockdown she was ‘doing well’ with her weight, but was unable to ‘enjoy wearing [her] clothes’ after gaining weight during the pandemic.
At her peak weight, Lorraine revealed she weighed 11 pounds and was ‘unhappy’ with herself after stopping all her exercise classes and bingeing on wine and chocolate during the lockdown.

She told Metro newspaper’s SixtySeconds column: “I knew I needed a little help, so I joined WW and with the help of other people and the app, I dropped two dress sizes and managed to get back to my size 10 at the end of January.
‘Getting my size 10 jeans back on was a big deal! I must have put on more than a stone and a half – I was about 11lbs and 10lbs – but for me it wasn’t just about fitting into my fancy black dress that wouldn’t fit on my bum , but to be happy in myself.
“I went to the BAFTAs and really enjoyed the day, but I wouldn’t have gone to the ceremony in early January. I just wouldn’t have had the confidence to go on stage. Now I want to go out again!

Lorraine previously revealed that her weight loss has revitalized her relationship with her husband of 22 years, Steve.
She explained: “Steve says, ‘I got you back,’ because my energy level has improved. I’m up for doing stuff now whereas before, on the weekends, I was cleaning up and then collapsing in front of the TV.
Lorraine added that Steve enjoys being part of the healthier kitchen, adding recipes to his menu as he goes.
And, although she admits the couple may be throwing a party but are not planning to renew their wedding vows for their 30th anniversary in September, she would fit into her wedding dress again.
The ITV star occasionally shares snaps of herself alongside Steve on her Instagram account, but their relationship isn’t usually public knowledge.
The couple share daughter Rosie, 28.
