also recently confessed that training with her husband Jeremy has been 'challenging'. She humorously referred to him as her 'carer'

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Kelly - who has been partnering with Slimfast - admitted that running with Jeremy can get quite competitive and challenging. She said: “In terms of training and doing things together on a physical level, that is a bit more challenging because he's super competitive and he's very fit and sometimes when he comes out on a run with me, it's like he's my carer!”

“He's there giving me electrolytes, giving me another energy gel, he's there walking and I'm there shuffling thinking I'm running! It's harder for him. I don't want to be like that, I want to feel on par with him. I feel like I've let my fitness go a bit. This is why I'm a bit more of an advocate now and getting out and going for a run because I hadn't done it for years.”

While, she highlighted how running has significantly boosted her mental health.

“Running gave me clarity and there was a whole different approach to everything I would do, I was so much more in control,” she explained. “I feel like the exercise has really helped with my mental health actually. More so than I thought.”

She further added: “We are having a bit of a lifestyle overhaul at the moment, which is amazing. We've just bought our house, we've been renting this for the last two years but we've now bought it so there's going to be decorating and doing lots of fun stuff.”

“So I feel like we're going into a chapter of our life where as we get older, we just want to be healthier.... my husband turns 40 this year. I just feel like we're in a really good dynamic at the moment.”

The radio host went from a size 12 to 16 in 2018 after moving back to the UK from LA but managed to shed the weight with the help of SlimFast, for which she is a brand ambassador. Elsewhere in the interview, Kelly urged women not to stress too much about looking a certain way, especially in the eyes of their partners, as she noted that for the most part, men don't even 'notice' the body insecurities that women do.

In a frank and open discussion about the star - who has managed her weight with the help of SlimFast - stated: “We put so much pressure on ourselves, sometimes it doesn't even come from our other halves. They don't see it, they're not looking at the rolls, the back fat and the wobbly bits that we think they are. They don't notice it as much.”
