Carol Vorderman says she feels "sexier" after losing two stone on a detox diet.

She told Closer magazine she's reduced her size from 14 to 10 by detoxing for 14 days twice a year.

Carol, 43, said: "I do feel sexier now. I used to look at myself in the mirror and feel depressed but not any more."

During the detox, she cuts out meat, alcohol, bread and dairy products and instead chooses pulses, brown rice, vegetables and fruit.

Carol added: "I've stablised at a size 10 and weigh just over 9st. My stomach is flatter, my hair is shinier and my skin is clearer.

"Scientifically speaking, the detox diet helps weight loss because you're taking in fewer calories.

"But because the food is healthy, you can eat huge portions. It also changes what you want to eat because you feel so well."
