Lorraine, 62, spoke about how she was dismayed to find that she had gone from a size 10 to a size 14 during lockdown, after she started letting her healthy routine slide.

Speaking in the podcast to hosts Pip and Jason, she explained: “It was weird, you know, the way it kind of just crept up on me. “I went from a size 10, and then I was a 12, and then towards the end of last year, and the start of this year, I was a 14. “And then - this is so embarrassing… I was doing an interview with The Wanted, you know, that lovely wee boy band?

They’re so cute and lovely. “And I had a size 14 dress on and it was straining at the bosom. And the button popped!” she exclaimed.“I leaned over and the button actually popped and nearly hit one of them right in the eye and that was the wake-up call. “That was the beginning of January and I thought come on, this is not good.”Lorraine went on to quip that the "health and safety" issue caused by her dress in the ITV studios meant she had to make a change.Lorraine recently revealed in an exclusive with Express.co.uk that she has teamed up with WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) in hopes of getting her “va va voom back”.The star agreed that, while the perfect size is different for every person, she wanted to get back to feeling like herself again.“It’s not about how much space you take up in the world,” Lorraine explained. “It’s about what’s right for you.
