Gogglebox star Anastasia Katselas has opened up about her dramatic weight loss, only days after returning home after undergoing emergency surgery.
The 61-year-old fan favourite revealed a frightening cancer diagnosis in a video she shared to Instagram on Friday following an emergency hysterectomy.
In a new interview, Anastasia talked about her ‘big scare’ while revealing she has shed a whopping 35kg after weighing 115kg.
‘When I was at my heaviest, I couldn’t wear heels, because my knee was sore and I couldn’t balance.
‘I thought I would fall over. But now, not a problem! My knee doesn’t hurt anymore, nothing hurts, I’m as happy as Larry,’ she told Woman’s Day on Monday.
Posing for a photoshoot for the magazine, Anastasia looked radiant in a flattering red outfit. She also modelled a stylish blue knit dress.
