"Having had a gastric band and a gastric bypass, I would hope not to have to talk about weight any more ever again," Vanessa said, before explaining: "It worked a bit and then it sort of backfired, even though it was meant to be a very easily reversible non-invasive procedure – that's why I had it – but it wasn't."
The 60-year-old continued: "I hope that is now history as I'm a normal weight."

In a statement about her future plans, Vanessa said: "I have loved every moment with my Radio 2 'Early Birds' and will miss my Lovely Listeners, Jolly Good Fellows and beloved friends and colleagues at Radio 2 with all my heart. However, after almost 12 blissful years, I now need to step down to catch up on a much-needed decade's deficit of beauty sleep!"
