Lorraine Kelly may be 55, but she has revealed she feels like she’s in the “best shape” of her life.

The presenter, who hosts morning entertainment show Lorraine on ITV, admitted she loves showing off her body by wearing a bikini, explaining: “I’m the happiest I have ever been with my body – whether its wearing a bikini or a party dress.

“I’m really enjoying my new-found confidence and experimenting with fashion.”

Lorraine told The Mirror she keeps her figure trim via walking everywhere and eating well. “I do feel in the best shape of my life – It’s all down to a healthy eating plan and doing exercise I love,” she revealed.

“I also walk almost everywhere when I’m in London and I’ve got to know the city really well.”

In April, Lorraine told Woman magazine that she had another secret weapon to keep fit: Zumba. The dance fitness programme helped her drop from a size 14 to a 10.

“I’ve never had a waist before, I didn’t have that curviness, but now I have and I look better,” she told the magazine. “I’m a size 10 and I love being able to go into the shops and buy a top because I like it and not because I want to hide my bottom.”
