“I have put on a few kilos in this lockdown and in recent months and I am not proud of that,” she revealed.

“I know we are all spending lots of time stuck indoors and lots of time staring into the fridge. It is not an easy time but don’t beat yourself up too much if you too, like me, have eaten a little bit too much cheese lately or whatever your vice is.”
