As she graced the cover of Hello! magazine, the beauty confirmed in an accompanying interview that she has been taking tirzepatide. 

Tirzepatide is the GLP-1 medication known as Mounjaro in the UK.

She said: 'It's a game‑changer. When I turned 60, I was like: "I want to be here for a long time, and I want to look my best. So what am I going to do?"

Last month, Vanessa revealed how she 'buried' being molested at just 10-years-old for decades, because she feared her father wouldn't be able to cope with the knowledge.

The actress first revealed her sexual abuse ordeal in her 2012 memoir, You Have No Idea - which she co-wrote with her late mother, Helen Williams - six years after her father, Milton Williams Jr., had passed away.

She detailed how an 18-year-old girl had performed oral sex on her when she was on holiday with her friend and their family's friends in California, the summer before entering fifth grade.

While she contemplated telling her parents about what happened, Vanessa explained that she had returned home to the news that her uncle had died, leaving her dad devastated.

Unwilling to make her family's pain worse, the Desperate Housewives star said she felt unable to tell anyone what had happened to her and so suppressed it for years.

Speaking to Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast, she explained how many people from that era had similar experiences of being abused and hiding it for years.

Vanessa reflected: 'It was a different time. It is not an excuse, but it is also kind of sad when you realise it's happened to so many people. It was heartbreaking. 

'And as a parent... I mean I didn't even mention it until my father had passed away. By the time we wrote the book together, my mother said, "Your father could not have handled it". Because as a father you want to be a protector.'

'I remember when it happened,' she went on: 'I was getting off the plane because it happened in California - I was with a friend on a trip with their family friends. 

'So I came back and my uncle had just died and I remember coming up and my dad was just ashen, like pale, and I knew that something had gone wrong and they said that his younger brother had died.

'So it wasn't even like I had a moment to say this happened and I feel uncomfortable. That was like the reality was hitting me. I was like "okay, I'm not even going to bring that up." So that's kind of what my reality was and I just buried it. 

'And also your parents, you really don't want to tell. I mean unless you've got a really extraordinarily close relationship it's hard to talk to your parents about anything that's unusual.'
