Big change: It comes after the reality star signed up as an ambassador for WW, formerly Weight Watchers
Health: Vicky has previously discussed her battle with body image as she reflected on her yo-yoing weight (pictured left as a size six) and is now focusing on a healthy relationship with food
The career change comes after the reality star signed up as an ambassador for WW, formerly Weight Watchers.
Vicky said her new role is ‘starting at the perfect time’ after a particularly difficult period in her life and because of her past unhealthy relationship with food.
The TV star has also cut down on alcohol after being told her previous partying lifestyle could have a long-lasting impact on her fertility.
She joins fellow celebrity ambassadors Robbie Williams, Curtis Pritchard and Alison Hammond.
Vicky confessed she puts ‘a lot of pressure’ on herself to maintain her figure, but insisted being in a healthy relationship has helped her embrace her curves.
In the past, Vicky has embarked on a series of wellness retreats, launched a fitness DVD and slimmed down from a size 16 to a size 6 back in 2013.
Following nearly a decade in the spotlight, Vicky’s relationship with her figure still fluctuates, but the TV star says she’s more accepting of her frame now than ever before after having an ‘epiphany’ when she entered her 30s.
She said: ‘I don’t know if any woman looks in the mirror and is like, “I’m a goddess!” We all struggle with [body image], and it’s a shame we put a lot of pressure on ourselves!’
