Sarah Millican used to have weight problems in the past and maybe she is having it again. She has not acknowledged her weight gain speculations and the questions about her being pregnant.

Sarah Millican came into prominence in 2008 when she won the comedy award for Best Newcomer at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In February 2013, she was listed as one of the 100 most powerful women in the United Kingdom by Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. She has released several successful stand-up specials including Thoroughly Modern Millican, Chatterbox, and Control Enthusiast. She has come a long way.

And not just in her professional life, it also holds true for her personal life.

Sarah Millican (@thesarahmillican) appears to have undergone weight gain again after being on a weight loss journey for so long. Fans began to wonder if she is pregnant after her latest public appearance.

Sarah Millican recently appeared on the celebrity version of The Chase. She was one of the four stars on the Sunday edition of the series with Ortis Deley, Graeme Hall, and space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock. Her appearance on the show revealed her to be a little bigger than she was in her last appearance. Then started her weight gain speculations and questions of ‘is she pregnant?’

Sarah Millican has always struggled with her weight. We are well aware of that because she has often incorporated her trouble with her weight gain and her experience of it in her material. It’s via her comedy shows that fans have learned that she eats (at least used to) a lot and just didn’t really care about what it did to her body. Her eating habits led to weight problems. At one show, she said,

I think the problem is just the fact that I eat whatever I like and I don’t give a s***.

In another, the Northern comedian joked about not liking the food in which she said,

I don’t like meals for one, though. No, it’s not that they make us feel lonely. I just don’t think they’re big enough.

It was not a surprise when Sarah Millican had a sudden weight gain in 2012. She may have joked about her weight struggles but on a serious note, she revealed that her appearance when she was ‘fat’ affected her self-esteem and body image. It definitely added to her body image issues when people began trolling her for her weight and called her ‘fat’ and ‘ugly.’

Even though Sarah Millican had been very open about her weight gain and the body image issues that came with it, even though the comedian spoke out about the pressure women face to conform to the rigid beauty standards, some people just never had the empathy to like not shame her for her weight and continued with their trolling. Maybe it played a role in prompting her to go on a weight loss journey.

Not that Sarah Millican couldn’t have taken that step for her own health and fitness but maybe the trolling she received because of her weight gain sped up her decision. She started her weight loss journey in 2019 and since then, she has been looking a lot slimmer and trimmer than before. She seemed to have come a long way from gaining weight because of overeating to losing weight after controlling her diet and working out.

But she may have discontinued her weight loss journey for some reason as seen from her latest public appearance at The Chase. Sarah Millican looked a lot bigger than she has looked in recent years which has led people to wonder if she gained weight because she is pregnant. But it’s kind of strange to jump to the conclusion that she might be pregnant just because she has put on a few pounds because fans are already aware that she used to struggle with her weight.

Besides, it’s a little intrusive and distasteful to go on to questions of her being pregnant from her weight gain speculations. Talking about her pregnancy, it does not look like she’s ever going to have kids because according to her only, she has never had the “remotely maternal” feelings ever. On the Graham Norton Show, she said,

I don’t like children and I think it all originates from when I was just eight years old and received a baby doll. She was a behemoth, and I recall beginning to understand labor at that time and realizing that I didn’t want something that big to come out of me. I was instantly turned off to having children after that.

Judging from that only, Sarah Millican might not be pregnant. And her weight gain might be because of other reasons, which we won’t know of until she herself reveals it.
