Britton did gain a little weight in lockdown as we all did. But even that wasn’t much notable and it might have been the effects of aging.
I’ve put on weight in lockdown, and it’s life. I keep thinking there is no point in lying. It’s a good thing to say to people, ‘This is what happens when you get older.’
Fern Britton shed that weight in July 2023 by taking up a Couch to 5K journey. It brought a noticeable change in her as she had kind of let herself go at that point since lockdown. She shared how she realized that she hadn’t been taking care of herself – physically or mentally. She said that she wasn’t doing exercise and eating too much. After a sudden realization, she decided to focus on her health. She started to do yoga, began doing the Couch to 5k running app, and lost all the weight she had gained.
It has only been about nine months since Fern Britton became fitness-conscious and started to focus on her health. By the looks of it, she’s been keeping up all the efforts because she doesn’t appear much bigger than then, at least on the face. If she appears bigger, it might be because of her baggy outfit. If she has indeed put on weight, it’s just negligible 2-3 pounds.
