‘I felt shamed’
Former Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver has opened up about feeling ‘shamed and judged’ prior to her 3st weight loss.
The 60-year-old shared, ‘My weight has been up and down all over the place… [but] at the minute I am a lot thinner’. Sue continued, ‘I’ve been ill this year and for some reason my metabolism seems to have changed and because I’m not drinking. But I have been the other way and I might go back the other way.’

Adding, ‘Global is also keen to see if she’d work with them, especially after Amanda Holden proved to be such a hit… There have been a number of approaches to Holly which she can weigh up whenever she is ready’. So, it’s up to the mum-of-three to make her move.
SUSANNA: ‘I DON’T FEAR AGEING’
GMB’s Susanna Reid says that she feels better than ever now that she’s reached her 50s.
In a new interview with woman&home the star, 53, revealed, ‘I have literally no fear of getting older. I think every day is fabulous and now that I’m in my 50s, I feel like I’ve built up a thick skin.’ Susanna explained, ‘Women, especially in television, are embracing ageing gracefully, which means we’re not fighting it.
