Kim was inspired to become a member after seeing a photograph of herself taken during a trip to London.

"I was mortified at how big I actually looked,” she said.

Kim paid tribute to her local Slimming World group (run by consultant Gary Beck-Sykes) in her success.

"There is no judgment,” she continued. “We share tips and advice and cheer each other on every week.”

She spoke of a number of benefits she is enjoying since losing weight, from having more choice in terms of clothes shopping, but also lowered blood pressure and improved mental health and self-confidence.
