Vanessa Feltz shows off her 3.5 stone weight loss in a ruffled mini dress at the panto
VANESSA Feltz showed off her 3.5 stone weight loss in a ruffled mini dress at the panto last night.
The 57-year-old looked incredible as she posed in a gorgeous frock and showed off her slimmer legs.
The radio presenter grinned as she wrapped an arm around her grandson, who looked adorable in a very jazzy grey suit.
Vanessa is now down to a size 12 after undergoing surgery for a gastric band after years of struggling with yo-yo dieting.
Despite her dramatic transformation, and her three-and-a-half-stone weight loss, Vanessa has said she won't stop there and aims to lose another seven pounds by the end of the year.
Talking about the impact her weight loss has had on her relationship with her 47-year-old partner Ben Ofoedu, Vanessa admitted to Woman Magazine: "He doesn't seem to have become any less keen on a bit of how's your father, put it that way.
"He likes a bigger woman with a big fat bum.
"Mine has almost dwindled away, so I don't think he'd have cared if I hadn't lost an ounce, but he likes the confidence."
She added: "I've been able to get sexier underwear. I love a negligee - I've got some fabulous satin ones which I think are absolutely irresistible to Ben.
Size-12 Vanessa was able to wear a bikini for the first time on holiday in 35 years earlier this summer - and felt fantastic.
Losing weight has also helped her worry less about having a heart attack or suffering from diabetes.
And she claims it's helped with her menopause symptoms as she feels "less hot and bothered, less bad tempered and less stressed".
It’s her second gastric band – after the first one, fitted in 2010, almost killed her when it went wrong.
Vanessa has been engaged to lead singer of Phats & Small since 2006. They were due to wed in 2007 and again in 2011 but have yet to get married.
