Vanessa Feltz, 63, smiles as she shows off her slim physique in a sheer lace dress as she leaves Channel 5 studios after coming off air

Vanessa Feltz flaunted her slim appearance as she left her Channel 5 show on Tuesday.

The presenter, 63, was snapped as she soaked up the London sunshine shortly after coming off air.

Vanessa was all smiles as she waved at the cameras at ITN headquarters in the capital where her daytime show is broadcast from.

The mother-off-two boasted her slimmer physique in a figure-hugging sheer lace pale blue dress which she paired with flipflops.

She completed her look with a handbag that appeared to have her grandchildren's faces on it. 

Vanessa has been candid about her challenges with her weight in the past, having fluctuated dramatically between sizes 10 and 22. 

Vanessa first slimmed down from a size 22 to a size 10 between 1999 and 2000, but later put the weight back on.

She lost two stone in 2004 but gained it back again and in 2007, she dropped three stone, but it all returned and she ended up back at a size 22 shortly after.

In 2010 she had a gastric band fitted which made her stomach smaller and stopped her from overeating, but she suffered complications when the band became embedded in her liver.

Vanessa said she learned to eat in a different way with the gastric band - she was not able to eat large amounts of solid food but she could consume softer substances, such as ice cream.

The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate said she ate 'thousands of calories' and sabotaged the operation she'd paid for.

She later decided 2019 to have a gastric bypass, which saw a small pouch created in the stomach and connected to the small intestine, bypassing the rest of the stomach and meaning she took in less food and felt fuller for longer.

The procedure led to her losing a further five stone and she has maintained a slender frame since.

Vanessa previously opened up about her difficult relationship with food in her memoir, Vanessa Bares All. 

She admitted her problems with weight began when she was nine years old and was put on a very strict diet.

Vanessa said she was deprived of food and often went hungry because her mother didn't want her to put on an inch of weight.

She said: 'By the time I was 20, my mother Valerie had begun scoring diet pills for me from her hairdresser.'

'While I felt sick, the pounds magically evaporated. I slid into a size 8. I spouted hip bones. Chunks of skeleton were visible beneath my skin.

'I wasn’t slim but that holiest of holy grails – thin, verging on gaunt. I looked like a malnourished bush baby. It was all I’d ever wanted'.
