Susanna, 50, revealed her eating habit during a chat about plans to slap huge taxes on sugary and salty foods - that will send prices rocketing and cost every household an extra £172.
She opened up during a debate with co-host Richard Madeley, who moaned about the shrinking size of a Mars bar over the years saying "it's now a little stick".
Susanna added: "Yes well when I go into a shop these things are massive now, there are sharing packs.
"I mean who buys a sharing pack and then shares it?
"I mean look at the lockdown pounds. It's all below the desk."
Government Food Tsar Henry Dimbleby unveiled plans for the £6-a-kilo tax on salty treats and a £3-a-kilo sugary food levy.
It would send the cost of every day foods like crisps, crumpets, jam and sweets soaring.
The nanny-state scheme would cost shoppers £4.8billion a year, says the Taxpayers’ Alliance - which they say will go towards providing free school meals.
Mr Dimbleby, the multimillionaire founder of the Leon fast food chain, unveiled his 288-page report demanding a total change in what we eat in a bid to tackle obesity and climate change.
He insisted Brits must slash the amount of meat they consume by 30 per cent — and suggested families swap sausages for insects or artificial meat.
