Tv personality Vanessa Feltz used to glory in being plump. Now she is several stones lighter, she's glad to be thin.

The controversial chat show host is coming to Brighton on Friday to promote her new exercise video called If I Can, You Can.

Many women won't be able to afford either the time or the money Vanessa had to become slim.

She lost about one stone a month. Even with plenty of exercise, most stand a fat chance of achieving the same results.
