At her heaviest, the This Morning star revealed she weighed 20 stone. Rosemary is set to cycle 450 miles from Land's End in Cornwall to the White Cliffs of Dover in Kent. She began training last September, and revealed how cycling has helped the pounds melt away. Revealing in total she had lost three stone in eight months, she told Good Morning Britain hosts Ranvir Singh and Robert Rinder: "Well, it's all, it's exercise. I mean, you know, it's exercise. "You know, I think anything that can help you, if you can so jacks or anything. "I think that's a good thing, because you know, anything that can get you moving. "For me (my weight loss) is pure exercise, exercise, exercise." 'SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE' The TV star will kick off her enormous bike ride on Sunday and aims to finish on June 18. Rosemary's Two Wheels for Meals Cycle Challenge is raising money for food poverty. Rosemary Shrager talks about The Big Family Cooking Showdown on Lorraine Earlier this week, she admitted that the bike ride had made her feel like she has been given "a second chance at life". Rosemary candidly said she was "embarrassed to admit" she weighed "well over 20 stone" a "few years ago". She revealed she feared walking down a street because she "might not get back" because of how big she was before her weight loss. The ambassador for the Hendy Foundation - the independent charity she is doing the bike ride for - wrote in her Woman's Weekly magazine column: "A couple of years ago, I was at a party with their chairperson Rebecca Hendy, and said, 'I really want to raise money by doing a bicycle ride along the south coast.' 5 Rosemary said at her heaviest she was 20 stone Credit: Peter Tarry - The Sunday Times "Rebecca was initially sceptical. Back then, although more mobile after a hip replacement operation, I was barely doing any exercise and weighed well over 20 stone, which I'm embarrassed to admit now. "My health had got so bad, I remember thinking, 'I'd better not walk down the street because I might not get back.' "I knew I had to do something, to pick myself up and get myself going. I was tired of being on an endless cycle of weight loss and weight gain. Any weight loss I ever achieved was never sustainable. Life was a constant fluctuation of up and down, which psychologically was very depressing. "Although I'm still big, I can happily say that I've lost more than three stone since embarking on the biggest challenge of my life - training for a 450-mile bike ride from Land's End to the White Cliffs of Dover. "It's been a hard slog - I've even become virtually teetotal - but I'm so proud of myself and feel I've been given a second chance at life." Rosemary added: "I'm 75 next January, and I've given myself the best-ever birthday present - my health!"

'I was like, the day I leave will be the day that I leave.' 'It feels like it's done. It feels like it's finished, like I've got everything that I've got from Coronation Street and that's it now. 'So it felt very much like a thank you, goodbye, goodnight type thing, because I know there's no return for Craig and Colson in the future. 'I have spoke to people who have left and not been killed and I just feel like, for me, it was 100% the right way to kind of know that I'm not coming back.'
