TV presenter Fern Britton on why she didn’t ‘lie’ about having gastric band surgery
In 2008, Fern Britton fronted a Ryvita Bikini Fit campaign after losing an astonishing five stone, which everyone believed was down to healthy eating and a gruelling exercise regime.
However, it soon transpired that the ex-This Morning presenter’s significant weight loss had been aided by a secret gastric band she had fitted two years earlier.
Despite the huge fallout and furious public backlash, Fern, 61, remains resolute over the headline-grabbing incident, insisting she never actually ‘lied’ about having the gastric band fitted all those years ago.
TWISTING THE TRUTH
After her gastric band was fitted in 2006, Fern went from a size 22 to a size 12. at the time, the star was pocketing an estimated £200,000 as the face of Ryvita.
When she was asked about the secret of her jaw-dropping weight loss at the time, Fern didn’t make any mention of having had the surgical procedure, instead saying it was down to ‘lots of hard work’
