Alison Hammond has shown the results of her 11 stone weight loss and they are mightily impressive.
The TV presenter famous for being Harrison Ford's favourite interviewer, falling off one of the counters on The Great British Bake Off and pushing a sailor into the water while jumping around on a weather map has been on a journey.
More specifically, a five year weight loss journey where the results were shown in a series of pictures taken by make up artist Mikey Phillips which showed her reclining on a chair.
While some other famous faces have turned to weight loss jabs to sort things out for them, Alison managed her journey through some big lifestyle changes.

"I think that, for people who need to use them, they're a good thing - but for me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened," she told Good Housekeeping UK of weight loss jabs and her decision not to use them.
"So I haven't wanted to use them, but that's not to say I wouldn't in the future, and I certainly wouldn't look down on anyone who did."
The presenter weighed 28 stone at her heaviest, and received a 'frightening' pre-diabetes diagnosis, with her mum having type 2 diabetes.
Now she weighs around 16 and a half stone, and has reversed her pre-diabetes.
Earlier this year, she thanked fitness coach Ellis Gatfield for his help, saying: "You have made my life so much easier by simple changes and kindness."
Gatfield told Women's Health that Hammond 'never enjoyed traditional cardio' so he put together something he thought she'd like more while reaping the health benefits.
He said: "So instead of forcing long treadmill sessions, I focused on raising her heart rate through resistance training performed in a circuit format, using mainly compound exercises.
"This allowed her to get the cardiovascular benefits while also building strength and shaping her body.
"The sessions were always kept to around 30 minutes, which meant they were effective, easy to commit to, and never overwhelming.
"The biggest mistake Alison made before training with me was believing that long, boring cardio sessions were essential to lose weight. That mindset made training feel like a chore rather than something to enjoy."
He added that her resistance circuit would start with a five minute warm up on the treadmill before doing four rounds of the circuit, which consisted of doing an exercise for 40 seconds before resting for 20 seconds and then moving onto the next, and taking two minutes of rest between each round.
Each step was 12kg kettlebell swings, a 15kg barbell overhead press, bodyweight squats, 5kg medicine ball slams and a 30kg weighted sled push.
Then they'd finish with 10 minutes of boxing, with a 'one minute on, one minute off' method.
Alison told Good Housekeeping: "Because my body's working properly, I can allow myself a bit of sugar here and there. I love my new shape and although I still have areas I'm conscious of, such as my arms and tummy, it's great being able to wear things I would never have been able to before.
"I mean, look at me, I'm a bombshell."
