SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE: Fergie flaunts her new slim look 

Once the queen of the yo-yo diet, the Duchess of York appears to have finally seen off her trouble-some weight issues.
Prince Andrew’s ex sported a svelte figure as she attended the Lady Garden Gala at London’s Claridges hotel this week, where she was seated between Boris Becker’s wife Lilly (left) and socialite Tamara Beckwith.
Two years ago, Fergie revealed she had been spurred into losing 3st after she discovered she had ballooned to 16st, close to the weight she had reached while pregnant.

The Duchess admitted: ‘‘That really frightened me. Beatrice was an 8lb 8oz baby and I was only 6lb off my full-blown pregnancy weight. I decided to make a change’

‘That really frightened me,’ said the 54-year-old Duchess. ‘Beatrice was an 8lb 8oz baby and I was only 6lb off my full-blown pregnancy weight. I decided to make a change.’

Enough to put anyone off eating for life, surely.
