But as she joins us for an exclusive photoshoot, the popular Heart Radio presenter, who lives in North London with her boyfriend of six years, actor and model Jeremy Parisi, tells HELLO! how it is only now she has found contentment after struggling with her weight during lockdown.

"It’s good to take your foot off the pedal a bit and be content with what you’ve got instead of striving for what you don’t have," she adds. "I’m kinder to myself now and taking time to reflect during the pandemic brought me to this place.

"Although I lost direction when it came to eating healthily, I’ve regained control and feel so much better."
