Judy Finnigan reveals two stone weight loss secret after she 'nearly died'
Judy Finnigan has shed two stone after she "nearly died" in 2018 after being rushed to hospital with a stomach ulcer. Former This Morning presenter Judy Finnigan has revealed the heart wrenching moment she "nearly died" after being rushed to the hospital for a ruptured stomach ulcer. Since the horrific health scare, the star has shed two stone. The 77-year-old star, who is married to Good Morning Britain star Richard Madeley, has wowed fans with her weight loss transformation over the years after working closely with her daughter Chloe Madeley, who is a personal trainer, to make better lifestyle choices. The Richard and Judy star previously underwent two life saving blood transfusions in 2018, after she was left with a stomach ulcer from taking ibuprofen. Judy had previously said she felt seriously ill after taking pills like they were "sweeties" for a knee injury, the Mirror reports. She emotionally told the MailOnline: "I nearly died. Totally out of the blue, I have never experienced anything like it before and hope to god I never will again." The star then went on to show appreciation for the skilled ambulance crew after suffering the stomach ulcer, which could have seen her "bleed out within an hour." "'I survived thanks to exceptionally swift arriving and skilled ambulance crew and superb emergency treatment at London's Royal Free Hospital and two major life-saving blood transfusions," she continued. Judy successfully lost an impressive two stone by changing her eating habits and exercising - even impressing her daughter, personal trainer Chloe Madeley. Chloe is said to have created a revised programme for her mum, focussing on a reduced daily calorie intake plan through smaller portions and eating less but more frequently, along with a consistent exercise routine. Her daughter Chloe spoke candidly on Loose Women about her mum in 2018, saying: "Her diet now is amazing. Naturally, her palate has changed, she's gotten really into sushi, raw fish, big multigrain salads and she's dropped loads of weight just naturally from changing the old meat and potatoes to something healthier." Just last week, Judy celebrated her 77th birthday where she looked radiant. The TV star celebrated her special day with those closest to her, as she smiled for some gorgeous snaps. Judy showed off her figure in a floral dress, as she was showered with birthday love from her family and friends - treated to cakes, balloons, presents and flowers. Judy's celebrations follow her husband Richard's 69th birthday in which he spent live on Good Morning Britain, and fans couldn't believe his age. The star was left blushing after the GMB crew started to play Happy Birthday through the studio speakers, as well as lighting it up with flashing lights at six in the morning. The screen behind the hosts displayed a large "Happy Birthday Richard" message, complete with digital balloons floating up and down. Revealing the secret to his youthful appearance, Richard joked that he thinks he seems youthful due to the fact he's aged in front of millions of viewers on TV. He said: "I've been on TV almost every day since the late 1970s. If you look at yourself in the shaving mirror everyday, you can't see yourself getting older. "But if you looked every three months, you'll notice it. So I'm on everyday here, mostly. So of course I'm aging, obviously I am. But because I'm on all the time it's not as noticeable," he continued.

"I survived thanks to exceptionally swift arriving and skilled ambulance crew and superb emergency treatment at London's Royal Free Hospital and two major life-saving blood transfusions." Since then, Judy's figure has changed dramatically with her losing over five stone. The change took her super fit daughter Chloe - who acts as her PT - by surprise, and the professional trainer admitted in 2018 that all the hard work was done by her mum without any help from her. Speaking on Loose Women, she explained how her mum's diet consisted of raw fish and healthy whole grain salads, though she wasn't interested in gym workouts. She said: "I was as surprised as anyone else when I opened the fridge on coming home on the weekend and saw superfood salads and soups, I thought, what the hell is going on!

The pair spoke about their relationship during a joint interview on Kate Thornton's White Wine Question Time. Judy explained: "We are incredibly close, we always have been. "Obviously, I think working together for so long has bonded us more tightly than if we had two completely separate jobs." She added: "I think the thing is, when you're presenting a show like the kind that we presented, it's very instinctive, you're doing interviews all the time." "By the time I decided I'd had enough, you and I were something completely different anyway, it just didn't matter, it didn't make any difference at all. "When you go and do GMB, I'm still here in bed, I'm happy to stay when he gets up, it doesn't make any difference at all to our relationship." Richard explained: "I can see that from the outside, it looks as if... as you say, we were bonded in our professional lives together and now we're not, but actually, here on the inside, we still are." 6 Judy told how her life-threatening diagnosis came out of the blue Credit: Rex Features 6 Judy's daughter PT Chloe Madeley has been training her parent and re-vamping her diet Credit: Instagram/Chloe Madeley

Less than a month before Rockford's Ironman triathalon, volunteers still needed
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — With less than a month remaining until Ironman Rockford, a 70-mile triathlon race, organizers say they are still in need of volunteers to help with the event. The inagural event is a 70.3-mile half-distance triathlon that comprises swimming, cycling, and running. The swimming leg of the Rockford race will take place in the Rock River, officials said. The running portion was originally going to take place on Madison Street, but due to construction, a new plan was used to utilize Water Street. 'We're going to come through the Sports Factory parking lot. We are going to have to turn left on State Street. We're going to go up Water Street. They're going to do a little turnaround in the Riverview Icehouse, and then they'll come back and they are going to cross to the west side of the river on the (Jefferson) pedestrian street bridge,' said Lindsey Ironman was founded by Judy and John Collins, who competed in the 1974 Mission Bay Triathlon in San Diego. The event inspired the couple to create a similar race for endurance athletes, leading to what in 1978 became the Hawaiian Iron Man Triathlon. Ironman races are now held worldwide. The is scheduled for Sunday, June 22, 2025. The organizer's biggest worry now is finding enough volunteers. I'd say I have a healthy level of anxiety about it. I know that more volunteers will come. It's really picked up over the last couple of weeks. I think people are starting to hear more about it. There's been more of a push on social about it. It's we'll get there, as I like to say,' said Chris Currently, there are about half as many enlisted volunteers needed to run an event the size of Ironman. 'We've got about 650 to 670 unique volunteers at this point. We could use a few hundred more. I think, generally speaking, for an event like this, we need about 1,200 volunteers,' 'What we're trying to do is create an environment that makes the athletes want to come back and do this race over and over again. We want to put our best foot forward so the athletes feel well supported. They get to stay hydrated, they're well-fed, they're taken care of. So we'd always love to have more volunteers,' Volunteers are needed for race day, and registration can be found or by emailing im70.3illinois@ Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
