Adding height to her frame with a pair of black heels, the radio presenter also sported matching tights.

Letting her brunette locks fall loose down her shoulders, Kelly also carried a black handbag.

She said: ‘I finished my show (American sitcom One Big Happy) in LA. I was super fit and then I moved back here four years ago to the countryside, to my farm in Kent, and I stopped thinking about what I looked like.

‘I started living what I call my “Ma Larkin life”. I had ducks, beehives, I was cooking every day — huge roast dinners — and going to the pub and I really piled on the pounds. 

Kelly added: ‘It didn’t help that I was also living with an Italian for whom food is religion.’

She was approached by SlimFast and with the help of their shakes and snack bars, managed to lose 21 lb.

But then lockdown hit, comfort eating kicked in and the weight crept back on.

‘In lockdown I went a little crazy,’ she laughed. ‘I bought a pizza oven, and we did Friday night fakeaways where I made doner kebabs.

‘I even bought an ice cream machine for goodness sake and started churning my own. During lockdown I went to the fridge more than I should have done and I put a lot back on.’

‘I’ve never hated who I am, and I do embrace my bigger size. I don’t want to be like I was in my 20s — I couldn’t if I tried, my metabolism has slowed right down — but I’m also aware things can get out of hand and I do have that body type where I can gain weight quickly.’

‘If I don’t watch it then I creep up to a size 14 or 16, but a size 10 to 12 is where I feel my happiest. My boobs get too big when I’m edging up to a size 16.’
