A SLIMMING consultant has described herself as 'honoured' after meeting a TV presenter during an award ceremony.
Bronwyn Heywood, who runs a Slimming World group at Chipping Campden School every Tuesday, met Stephen Mulhern at the annual Slimming World Awards.
Mr Mulhern who hosts Catchphrase, Britain’s Got More Talent and Big Star’s Little Stars, co-hosted the event with the organisation’s founder and chair Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE.
Ms Heywood said: "I felt very honoured to represent the Chipping Campden Slimming World group when I met Stephen.
"He was bowled over by the difference Slimming World makes to people and how it changes their lives, so meeting him has re-inspired me and now I feel super motivated to support even more people in the Cotswolds to lead healthier, happier lives in 2017.”
Talking about the year they have had, she added: "I couldn’t be prouder of the members of the Chipping Campden group.
"They’ve lost fantastic amounts of weight throughout 2016, with many of them making their weight loss dreams come true by hitting their target weight, improving their health and confidence, and more."
Mr Mulhern said: “The stories I heard from people who had lost amazing amounts of weight and transformed themselves inside and out were so inspirational.
"So many slimmers talked about how their weight loss has allowed them to start really living and be the people that they always dreamed of being, doing things they previously thought they couldn’t, from running for miles to playing with their children and grandchildren.
“While all of their stories were different, the one thing they all had in common was how much they felt they owed to their 'Slimming World family. People like Bronwyn are clearly very important.”
