I must confess to not having the TV on in the daytime - bad habit for me to get into!
However, I love the adverts she's in & being able to laugh at herself! I've watched her presenting other shows & think she has a great personality & a good sense of humour.
When Fern used to work for Meridian TV I used to bump into her quite a lot in John Lewis, she really is lovely, what you see is what you get. She's actually more attractive face to face too. I sort of agree with Forget too but I suspect carrying the extra weight could be having an impact on her health so maybe that's why she's done it.
Well she did that big cycle ride for charity, has four kids, a busy career so it kinda of ineivitable that she might lose weight. Perhaps she liked the exercise she did for the charity bike ride and stuck at it. She's always looked good but it's her personality that shines through her weight.
If she wants to lose weight she is allowed its her body x
I think she's lovely - no "side" to her at all, if you know what I mean
She and Philip Schofield make an excellent pair though I rarely watch but did see her being interviewed when they showed the clips of her corpsing. So funny!
Nobody likes being fat despite what they may say, and losing weight is very very hard, which is why so many people put up with it and put on a jolly face. She is probably constantly on a diet, but as you know, sometimes in life you can lose weight easily and other times it just won't budge. I imagine she got quite hurt at the "fat" comments made about her, above and beyond her being a professional.
When Fern was going through a period of depression,she was prescribed the SSRI ,Lustral/Sertraline. All ssri's cause weight gain as they give people a craving for sweet ,i-e chocs, ice cream,cakes etc. She's still doing the Pilates, I think she looks great!
