Adele faces a huge battle to keep her 7st weight off, says This Morning’s Vanessa Feltz
ADELE may struggle to keep her remarkable 7st weight loss off, This Morning’s Vanessa Feltz has warned.
The 58-year-old star, who slimmed down herself with the help of a gastric band, spoke about the singer’s new look after she posted a rare photograph to celebrate her 32nd birthday.
Adele posed in a tiny black mini-dress with a high neck and statement sleeves on Instagram yesterday, telling fans: “Thank you for the birthday love.”
Many were blown away, with one posting: “YOU LOOK AMAZING.”
But discussing the singer’s slim-down on This Morning today, Vanessa told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: “It’s not so much the diets don’t work – they do work.
“The problem is the bit where you’ve lost all the weight – everyone says you look great. People start to treat you in a different way, which is awful because you yourself are exactly the same inside whether you are big or small.
“However, you feel great and then you celebrate by going back to normal life, which for most people with a weight problem is having a bit of chocolate mousse, a couple of slices of pie, and then the next thing you know it’s all crept back on again.
“Of course diets work – in the short term. The gentleman said earlier, you know, emotions have a massive effect on weight loss or weight gain – it’s very true.”
Referring to Adele’s break-up with Simon Konecki, Vanessa added: “She’s broken up from her marriage to her husband. It may be what they said, a ‘revenge bod’, it may well be that she’s been terribly upset and hasn’t been able to eat.
“She’s lost her appetite maybe for once in her life and has felt really very, very emotionally drained and not her normal self.

“The problem usually occurs when you go back to normal. You’re feeling quite yourself and you start tucking in in the way that you always did.”
As well as Adele’s birthday picture, the music superstar was seen in a snap posted by pal Lauren Paul in honour of her 32nd, wearing a fitted black dress with tights and tan boots on a trip to Las Vegas.
The star shocked fans when she debuted her trim new look last year, after reportedly embarking on The Sirtfood Diet, which encourages followers to eat plant foods such as kale and buckwheat.
She is also said to have taken up reformer pilates with pal Ayda Field, with The Sun Online revealing last October that Adele had been doing high-intensity workouts at home – including Joe Wicks videos.
