Karren Brady Celebrates 57th Birthday with Husband

The Apprentice star looked loved-up with her husband Paul Peschisolido as she celebrated her 57th birthday at a swanky Mayfair restaurant over the weekend. 

The businesswoman showed off her slimmed-down figure in a white shirt as she headed to Lilibet's in central London for a family meal.

Taking to her Instagram she shared a picture with Canadian former footballer Paul, 54, as they clinked their glasses of red wine in a cheers and stared adoringly at each other. 

She penned in the caption of her post: 'My birthday was perfectly spent this weekend with family at @lilibetsmayfair. 

'Surrounded by the people I love, and that lobster pasta… absolutely heavenly!'

It comes after Karren addressed the speculation surrounding her newly slimmed-down figure, after being hit by accusations that it was the result of medications.

She denied using the jabs and insisted her body transformation was achieved the old-fashioned way, through a controlled diet and regular exercise.

Speaking to The Sun about her weight loss, she claimed 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.'
