‘Yes, I’ve gained lockdown weight’
Like many of us, Fern Britton says she gained a few pounds during the last year-and-a-half. She admitted, “I’ve put on weight in lockdown, and it’s life. I keep thinking there is no point in lying. It’s a good thing to say to people, ‘This is what happens when you get older.’” Fern dropped from a size 22 to a 12 in 2008, when she had a gastric band. Shortly before her recent birthday, she added that she was fine with growing older, saying, “These times are very different. I am fine that I’ll be 64.”
