The Celebrity Big Brother star, who had a gastric band fitted in 2010, has spoken openly about her weight loss over the years. In a recent interview with MailOnline, Vanessa admits she still loves chocolate mousse, but is now a lot more active.
She shared: “It’s not because I’ve suddenly become virtuous and I’d suddenly really genuinely prefer a stick of celery to an enormous bowl of chocolate mousse.
“I still prefer chocolate mousse. It’s just I had a gastric bypass, so that’s the reason why I’m slimmer than I was. I do lots and lots of walking. I do lots and lots of running around. I’ve got four grandchildren who I see all the time, and I’m very busy with them.
“[And] in terms of formal exercising, I do a bit of weight resisting because everybody says you’ve got to because of your muscles as you get older.”
Vanessa had her gastric band fitted in 2010, but later revealed it made her very ill. Explaining that she was unable to eat out in public for fear of vomiting, she told Best magazine: “I could never eat out in public — I never knew when I’d need to rush to the loo and throw up.”
Vanessa added: “I started getting deadly ill in 2018. Some days I couldn’t even drink water — I could never get the balance of liquids right.”
Her surgeons told her that the band had slipped and advised that a gastric bypass would correct it. The star underwent a lengthy surgery to have the band removed in 2019 and later dropped around 3.5 stone.
“It was hell, but definitely worth it, though I wish I hadn’t had so many years struggling with the band,” Vanessa revealed, adding: “It affected my mood and social life – as well as making me so sick.”
Thankfully, the veteran presenter is now feeling better and to date has shed approximately five stone, which she frequently shows off in positive posts online.
