Her transformation took place between filming the first and second seasons of her BBC hit series Am I Being Unreasonable? over the course of three years from 2021 to 2024. She previously spoke about her motivation for losing weight, admitting that she was inspired to make a change after struggling with her well-being and feeling “unhappy” and “miserable”.
She discussed how bizarre it was to see the screen comparison between her past and present self in an interview with The Sun TV Magazine. We were just killing ourselves laughing because we don’t even look like the same people, so it was a little crazy because since we filmed the last series and this series, I’ve had my lips done and lost about ten stone. But it was entertaining.
And because I was pregnant when series two was beginning to air, we had to cut off filming right in the middle because my son, who was born seven weeks early, chose to be born. My son is brilliant, but that was stressful.

Daisy May has been open about both the difficulties and criticism she has encountered along the way in terms of losing weight. She recalls how some people were furious when she first revealed her new physique in 2019.
I’ve received messages saying, “Well, you’ve lost the weight, you’re no longer funny. What exactly is [explicit]? Why must women have explicit fat in order to be funny? That aggravates my disbelief. She told Grazia, “I believe everyone should enjoy their bodies.”
She has been open about her struggles with body image, explaining that she fully supports body positivity but felt the need to change things for her health. Although I’m a huge fan of body positivity, I had a massive food addiction when I was at my best and was at my worst. I wasn’t in good health. When I was climbing the stairs, I couldn’t breathe. I was so dissatisfied.
The TV station has also shared her experiences with cosmetic procedures. She previously acknowledged that fillers and Botox had caused her to develop a ” pillow face “.

She recalled that my agent literally could not move my eyebrows because she told me, “You’ve got to stop, because you’re not going to be able f**king act,” and that she had to.
Because I adored my forehead not creases, it killed me. However, I haven’t undergone surgery. I did go in for a tummy tuck consultation, but the doctor “just scared the hell out of me” because there were so many issues.

Hurt Olivia Attwood says she ‘didn’t see things I should have’ after breaking her silence on her fall out with one-time BFF.
Former friend and former assistant/stylist Ryan Kay is said to have completely cut Olivia from his life and is believed to have sided with her husband Bradley Dack, amid all the attention into her marriage following her holiday with pal Pete Wicks. The pair used to be so close that they’ve even got matching tattoos.
“Things have turned really sour between Olivia and Ryan,” a source revealed last week. “They are refusing to tell people exactly what went on but they aren’t speaking – or even following each other online. It’s very sad because he has been such a huge part of her life. It’s also very awkward for people like Georgia [Harrison], who are close to both of them.”

After the falling out, Olivia vowed to share the truth when the time is right and last night she decided to offer some clues. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she said: “I’m just very hurt if I’m honest. Prior to what you might have read, I had to respect myself and draw a line.
“It was something that played out over a couple of months. I guess I hadn’t seen things I should of. I think?? I give everything (in every sense of the word) to friendships and I don’t let many people inso it suckkkss. It’s not something I can really explain in a Story but I will at some point.”
Last week, Liv she said: “So grateful for my small circle that gets smaller the longer I am in this industry – the ones who don’t feed the press with false narratives. Andddd I do hate to be proven wrong especially when lots of people tried to warn you. But you live and learn I guesssssssss.. We can chat about what’s be going on soon – I know you have questions, but just not this week because incase you haven’t noticed I’m kinda busy.”

On Thursday, stylist Ryan appeared to hit back at Olivia’s scathing post as he confirmed that he’s working with her Loose Women co-star, GK Barry. Olivia’s ex-best friend shared a photo of his suitcase as he excitedly said that he had a fun day ahead working with the former I’m A Celebrity…. Get Me Out of Here! star.
Alongside it, he mentioned that GK Barry, 26, is the ‘kindest’ and most ‘beautiful’ star. Ryan typed: “And just like that he’s back on teh road with some of the kindest and most beautiful creatives. Let’s go.”
Sources close to Ryan have told the Mirror that “there wasn’t any toxicity, betrayal or fallout between the pair” and the former friends are “simply no longer working” together. He has no ill will towards Olivia and has immense respect and admiration for her so there was no betrayal between them,” an insider says of Ryan’s thoughts on his former boss.
It has been claimed that Ryan is not impressed by the pictures of Olivia and Pete on their holiday and that he reached out to Bradley.
However, a source told the Mirror: “It’s known that Bradley has never liked Ryan and was consistently wary of his intentions, and Ryan and Brad have never communicated separately outside of Olivia.”
Following the speculation into the state of their marriage, Olivia and Bradley stepped out together. Just hours before, Bradley was reported to be furious about the pictures of Pete and Olivia. However, Olivia and Bradley have insisted the recent photos haven’t come between them.
Speaking to The Mirror, Olivia candidly said that though their marriage isn’t perfect, it’s still good. Brad and I do have a lovely relationship. But also, I’m not perfect, he’s not perfect, it’s not the perfect relationship. But it’s a good relationship,” she said.

“That’s the thing that we all learn. There is no such thing as perfect. If you leave someone because of a certain set of issues, you’ll find someone with a new set of issues.”
There was no shortage of drama at the 2025 MTV VMAs in New York City last night, from attention-grabbing red carpet snakes to emotional on-stage tributes.
Last night at the VMAs, music legend Mariah Carey unveiled as the 2025 Video Vanguard Award honoree, while Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and Sabrina Carpenter took home the big awards.
The VMAs are also known for awarding Moon Person gongs, but they also have other goals: to provide bombshell moments from the red carpet and performances.
Sabrina, 26, used her time on stage to show her support for the trans community and pay homage to VMAs- and general-fantasy Britney Spears, while YUNGBLUD teamed up with Aerosmith to perform a musical tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.
Lady Gaga won the award for artist of the year at the awards reception, but she had to be a multi-tasking queen and arrive early for a Mayhem Ball tour performance at Madison Square Garden.
