Jane McDonald opens the British Soap Awards 2023

Jane McDonald recently hosted the British Soap Awards after she replaced Phillip Schofield and has since shared her weight loss tips.

The 60-year-old admitted she used to feast on sugary foods and wine which had her piling on the pounds but the Channel 5 star revealed she simply changed her mindset.

Jane has gone down to a size 8 from being a size 14 in 2016.

Speaking to Women’s Own, she said: “Life’s too short not to have a scone or two, you’ve got to give yourself a little bit of pleasure.”

The Cruising singer admitted she used to eat a lot of rubbish but has managed to clean up her diet over the years.

She remarked: “I know when to stop and I think that’s the secret. I have everything I want, but I don’t always finish it. I also have plenty of salad.”

Jane added: “I used to eat so much rubbish. I didn’t realise how much rubbish I used to eat.”

The Channel 5 star explained she used to eat “rubbish” due to being tired from her hectic TV and filming schedule.

But now she eats two meals a day, with her morning starting with a green smoothie, made up with a blend of raw greens, flax seeds, chia seeds, spinach, kale, mint and banana.

The TV star admitted the hardest part of her new diet was cutting back on red wine.

Jane also credits Sugar Free Farm – a TV show she featured on back in 2016 – with changing her mindset, and thanked it for giving her the tools and knowledge to be able to tailor her diet to something more healthy.

“What made me so angry was when I found out just how much added sugar there is in pre-prepared food. It’s literally in everything. I’d been consuming it for years, without even knowing it,” she said.

Jane revealed: “We had to cut out alcohol, cakes, biscuits, convenience food… everything. The hardest thing for me was missing red wine. Oh, I love my wine! But now I’ve completely cut down on it, and only have a glass once a week. That’s a HUGE deal for me!”
