"Like I wanted muffins, I wanted croissants, I wanted doughnuts. All of these things that you know you shouldn’t be having and you think it’s making you feel better at the time and it doesn’t.
"And so slowly, slowly, slowly over the past couple of years, I’ve gone from a size 10 to a size 14…"
Lorraine confessed that her decision to join WW, formerly Weight Watchers, was spurred on when she stopped wanting to go out.
She said: "If somebody said there was a big party, I’d think I don’t think I really want to go.
“I did go to a thing before Christmas in a black stretchy dress. There was nothing wrong with it but I didn’t feel fine. Only people in the same boat would probably get that.
"For me, joining WW is going to be about getting back into my clothes and feeling healthier and having more stamina.”
