Karren Brady Shows Off Weight Loss on The Apprentice

Karren Brady showed off her weight loss on the latest episode of The Apprentice on Thursday, after denying she's used Ozempic to slim down.

The business mogul, 56, has raised eyebrows with her glamorous new look, and in the latest episode of the BBC show, she offered another glimpse at her new appearance.

Tonight's instalment of the show saw the two teams create their own children's book and audio version for 4-6 year old kids, and they had to pitch their idea to retailers in the industry. 

Over the weekend, sources told The Mail On Sunday the 'bizarre' reason behind Karren's recent transformation. You can read the full story here.

Karren opted for a stylish white trouser suit as she observed the girls' team's attempts to create an enjoyable children's story. 

The House of Lords member recently denied that her dramatic body transformation was the result of weight loss jabs, insisting that it was achieved the old fashioned way - through a controlled diet and regular exercise.

Last week, she addressed the speculation surrounding her weight loss in an interview with The Sun, claiming that asking questions about how she'd shed the pounds was an effort to 'belittle' her or 'make her feel insecure'.

'I’m not on Ozempic, but questions about women’s weight come up far more often than they should,' she said. 'I’d much prefer the conversation to be focused around my work.'

Karren went on: 'Anyone can do anything they want to their own body. I have no problem with it at all. But people think they know something they don’t know, or they just presume.

'And so what if I was? And what if I wasn’t? It would be my choice. I think the way people talk about women’s bodies is certainly an effort to belittle them or make them feel insecure.

'I’ve been called too fat, too thin and everything in between. I’ve had a lifetime of it. All I want is to feel strong, physically and mentally.'

She previously admitted to losing as much as five kilograms before every Apprentice launch, 'so I look my normal weight and I don’t look huge next to Alan [Sugar] as he’s so fit and healthy'. 

But Karren, who is the vice chairman of West Ham United, says Lord Sugar has been something of a health kick buddy.

'He is great, he is very fit. He and my husband cycle when we go away on holiday. He is super fit himself, so if anyone is giving tips, it is him to me.

'We went around Italy, which was lovely, on Lord Sugar's boat. It was incredible. He is really lovely and has a wonderful family.' 

A regular gym-goer, the mother-of-two insists she's worked hard to incorporate frequent exercise into her hectic lifestyle.

'You have to find the time to go, particularly as you get older,' she said. 'I have a very set routine that I do, but it’s mainly cardiovascular and weights, and I don’t mind the odd swim.

'I go three or four times a week. I never have set days, because I’ve got a full-time job, then I have to go to the House of Lords often to vote, so I fit it in where I can.' 

The businesswoman recently revealed that her recent weight loss was triggered by becoming a grandmother, after her daughter, Sophia Peschisolido welcomed sons, Leo, 22 months, and George, four months.

Karren said: 'I have been on a health kick, I became a grandma, and I wanted to be a fit, healthy grandma, so I started eating healthy and exercising.

'I haven't joined [the Ozempic Club] - bloody hard work. It is okay losing it, it is keeping it off.

'I have lost quite a bit - I don't know, though, as I don't weigh myself. I feel better for it. It is good because everything you put on fits.'
