TV favourite Alison has previously opened up about having a gastric sleeve procedure. However, it appears a lifestyle change seems to be the largest contribution to her physical transformation.
The star underwent gastric sleeve surgery in 2014. However, her body rejected it and she only kept it for two years after struggling to “keep down one bite of food”.
In an extract from her autobiography, You’ve Got To Laugh, Alison said: “I was sick a lot. I couldn’t keep anything down. It was really distressing, I felt as if my body was rejecting the foreign entity inside me and I began to get ill.
“I kept it for two years, until it was getting to the point where I couldn’t even keep down one bite of food. ‘I can’t take this anymore,’ I thought, miserably.”
In recent years, Alison has updated her fans with a number of workout clips showing off her disciplined gym routine.
She recently shared a candid admission about her weight loss whilst on air on This Morning. The presenter stated: “I was in a situation where I was morbidly obese. I had to lose weight otherwise I was dying – I was dying.
“I mean I’m still big now, people can still see I’m big but now I’m 17 stone rather than being 28 stone.”
