Faith, the nutritionist, warned about the effects so much excess weight was likely to be having on her health – with risks including cancer and diabetes, as well as putting an enormous strain on the heart.
She said: ‘The first and most important thing is that you can make a change. If you feel you’re there, then there’s so much you can do to make those changes.
