In an interview on Loose Women back in 2018, Catherine confessed she would have resorted to having a gastric band fitted as she struggled to control her weight as a size 22 teen. 

The TV star said she would have jumped at the chance to have weight-loss surgery when she was larger. 

Joining a discussion on the rising number of teenagers being fitted with gastric bands, the mother-of-one told Janet Street-Porter, Stacey Solomon and Ruth Langsford her lack of education around food contributed to her gradual weight gain. 

She said: 'I used to be overweight and when I was a teenager my education on food wasn't the best so I was in a desperate place and probably would have jumped on that.'

When asked by host Ruth whether she would have taken an offer of having a gastric band, she added: 'Probably, because I was desperate, but I think the key is education.'

'We need to target the parents as well and make sure the food they're giving them at home is the best.
