Vanessa Feltz, 64, says she starved herself while taking part in ITV’s weight-loss programme Celebrity Fit Club in 2004. She describes the experience as “horrific” and says the show involved punishing dieting and exercise routines for participating celebrities.
The outlets report that the format includes putting contestants through strict diet and activity regimes, with their progress tracked publicly. Each week, contestants’ weight is announced on air, with the programme’s host Dale Winton delivering the updates. While the articles focus on Feltz’s personal account, they align on the key structure of the show and the year she appeared, rather than providing new information about any other specific incidents.
