The 50-year-old told her fans that she purchased a pair of trousers earlier this year in a size 12 but now they were too big after shedding the pounds. Alongside the snap she wrote: “Bought these a little while ago in a size 12. Think I may need to size down now.”

Sue admitted that she had put on “so much” weight due to eating “rubbish food” over recent years. However, she’s now gone from feeling “awful” to “much more healthy and confident”.
In a Facebook post, she said: “I never thought I’d ever wear anything like this again but I feel so much more healthier and confident for losing nearly 2 stone.
“I had put on so much just eating rubbish food and felt awful. I’m now back in the 8 stone bracket, which is where I wanted to be, so I’m really chuffed.” Sue posed in a pink Mickey Mouse dress which she admitted she didn’t think she’d be able to get on again.

This comes as Sue recently discussed her health as she celebrated her milestone 50th birthday this year. She said she is done with having any more children but doesn’t know if her body is feeling the same.
In a deep conversation with her friend Rebecca, she said: “So my 50th is coming up, isn’t it? As it gets closer, I’m thinking ‘Oh my God.'”
Sue confessed: “I feel like my hormones are just crazy. [I’m] kind of thinking, is it the pill that’s making me feel a bit bleh? Do I just stop it?”
“And have another one”, Rebecca joked. Sue responded: “Definitely not. Oh my gosh, I couldn’t even. I could not even think about getting pregnant at 50. Like, who wants that? So maybe we should just go for the no sex life.”
Rebecca then suggested a theory that Sue’s numerous pregnancies might be delaying the onset of menopause. Supporting this, voiceover Sally Lindsay noted: “If you do the science, more babies equals fewer periods, equals fewer eggs released.”
Sue went on to explain that she has come up with a different contraception method that she could use. She said she planned to stop taking the pill and try the rhythm method, which involves monitoring your temperature, tracking your cycles and abstaining from sex at certain times of the month.
