Vanessa Feltz has apparently lost a whopping three stone in six months after an ongoing battle with her weight.
The TV and radio presenter revealed her smaller frame at an event last week.
The 57-year-old unveiled her new svelte figure at the Wonder Park UK Gala screening last Sunday.
Speaking about her transformation, weight loss expert Steve Miller told Bella Magazine: “I’d say she has lost around three stone and is hovering around a size 12-14, compared to the size 16-18 she seems to have been before.”
He added: “She’s obviously been really focused, because the weight has dropped consistently over six months.”
Vanessa has appeared to lose weight gradually over recent months. In December, she showed off her progress while at the TRIC Christmas party with her daughter.

Vanessa, who was a Size 24 at her biggest, had a gastric band fitted in 2010 after years of struggling to slim down.
She admitted she used to try and cheat the band, which only allows the patient to eat small portions of food after it is fitted, by drinking “chocolate custard”.
Speaking on her decision to have a gastric band, she said on This Morning last May: “I got fed up with the scrutiny. I didn’t like it. I bumped into an old male friend who always used to be a bit chubby and he said he’s had a gastric band, so I thought I should have one.”

But Vanessa went on to explain that it hasn’t been plain sailing and the band has given her problems.
She added: “The reason I wanted to talk about it today was that I thought that would be it. I would be a beautiful size 12 and never would I be on telly discussing my weight again.
“I’ve had it for eight years but now it’s acting up something chronic. I woke up feeling like I was drowning, my ears, mouth and nose felt full of liquid.”
However, the TV star and mum-of-two said she doesn’t want her band taken out for fear she will begin overeating again.
Vanessa previously admitted to Bella that she would try to get around her gastric band by drinking the likes of “chocolate milkshake” and “chocolate custard” but would end up consuming “thousands of calories.”
