The Technology Secretary came under fire after calling for the widespread use of Mounjaro and Wegovy as part of a £85million trial and insisted to MailOnline: "I am striving to get people beach-ready this year, so when they come and visit Brighton in the summer, they are looking their best." As part of the chat on his use of language, and potential for "bodyshaming the country", Tina addressed her weight loss which saw her drop from a size 32 to 6. She told how she backed the Minister's comments and said "some people need tough love." Advertisement She then recalled a moment where she was getting glammed up for the BAFTAs after Shameless' first nomination and her dad telling her she looked fat in her dress. She recalled how he replied: "'Yeah you do, because your fat, you're going to look fat in any dress.'" Tina, best known for her role as Mimi Maguire in the hit Channel 4 comedy-drama, said of their frank chat: "That's the way we were. "I lost weight for me let me get that clear for my health.

Later on in the chat, she told how she believed "a bit of encouragement is important" when it comes to losing weight.

NEW LOOK Two years ago, she showcased her weight loss and facelift on the ITV daytime show. Advertisement In 2022, Tina revealed that she went under the knife because she feared she looked "miserable". At the time, she told Closer about her surgery: "I'm over the moon with how I look. "My old face appeared sad and miserable now I look healthier sexier and prettier than ever. The last few years have been tough and this has given me something to smile about." Tina rose to fame playing Mo McGee in the hit soap, Brookside from 1993 for five years. Advertisement She also appeared in the sixth series of Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 4 in 2009. TRAGIC LOSS The actress was left heartbroken after her husband Paul Chase committed suicide in March of 2024 at the age of 42. In October 2019, the pair announced their separation but they were later reconciled by February 2020. Tina previously described it as the "worst day of her life" when Paul passed away, and she blamed his death on PTSD after he served in the army. Advertisement Speaking for the first time following his passing, Tina told The Mirror: 'I've not spoken about this publicly until this minute. "It's the first time I've said it and confirmed it. Paul did commit suicide. I believe in transparency.' She added: 'I'll never get over it. I miss him so badly and I love him so much. One thing I know… he's in a better place than here.' The brave TV star then opened up on their Christmas plans in December, and how she was set to mark Paul during the festivities.

Noel Edmonds reveals he's buying house in the UK after show about his farm in New Zealand is AXED
He has opened up about the 'smiley' part of the country, which is where he plans to buy a house NOEL'S HOUSE PARTY Noel Edmonds reveals he's buying house in the UK after show about his farm in New Zealand is AXED TV presenter Noel Edmonds has bought a new home on the Isle of Man. The former Deal Or No Deal and Noel's House Party host, 76, plans to divide his time between his property, believed to be in the north of the island, and New Zealand. Advertisement 4 Noel Edmonds is buying a house in the UK after his show about his farm in New Zealand was axed Credit: Instagram 4 His Kiwi Adventure show was recently axed Credit: PA He claimed the island's 'massive community spirit' and sense of pride is what attracted him to make the move. 'I came for the very first time three years ago, and when you consider I lived in the UK all my life and I knew where it was geographically, I don't know why I didn't come before,' Noel told Manx Radio. 'I have purchased a property on the island, and I intend to spend some of the year here, but my principal home is New Zealand.' Noel dubbed the island 'the Smile of Man' because 'everyone seems so happy' and people 'look out for each other'. Advertisement He added: 'What's drawn me to the Smile of Man… you're bloody proud of the island, you're proud of the community, and across the water there [in the UK], you don't get that anymore.' It comes after ITV axed his Kiwi Adventure series, which aired in June and followed his life in New Zealand with his fifth wife, Liz. Noel, who moved there in 2018, had reportedly hoped the three-parter would become a fixture on the channel, but it failed to be a ratings hit. A TV insider told The Sun earlier this month: 'It's a blow to Noel as he was convinced he was on to a winning idea. Advertisement 'There was a great buzz around the series and it was well received by both viewers and critics alike. 'But it needed big numbers to spark a follow-up and attracting 1-1.5million per episode just wasn't enough.' Noel Edmonds reunites with 90s sidekick Mr Blobby on Good Morning Britain Sources close to Noel confirmed his disappointment but insisted other major factors were behind the decision — namely, the extreme weather. A source close to Noel told us: 'River Haven has been hit badly by flooding, it's made working on the estate almost impossible. Advertisement 'That would have meant filming would have been seriously hampered.' They added: 'As far as Noel is concerned, the show has been put on ice.' The Sun first revealed Noel was returning to TV last year after signing a £1million deal with the ITV. Over the past year he's been spotted making the most of his time on the Isle of Man, with visits to the Southern Agricultural Show in Ballasalla, the Milntown Estate in Ramsey, and even taking in the action at the infamous TT Races. Advertisement "I love the Isle of Man. I've been here a few times before," Noel said previously. 'This is my first TT – I've always wanted to come, and I live in New Zealand so I've travelled 11,000 miles to be here.' Locals who spotted Noel out and about were quick to notice an unusual quirk about the TV star. He frequently wore mismatched shoes - one light brown lace-up boot and one darker slip-on. Advertisement A spokesperson for the star claimed at the time: 'He loves doing quirky things just for the fun of it.' 4 Noel will soon buy a home in the UK Credit: PA
