FOUR weight loss consultants from the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley met TV presenter Stephen Mulhern at a recent awards ceremony in Birmingham.

Debra Maloney, Pauline Bent, Claire Shields and Sue Holdcroft are all Slimming World consultants in the area and were attending Slimming World Awards held at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre.

Stephen, who presents Catchphrase, Britain’s Got More Talent and Big Star’s Little Stars, said he was thrilled to meet the women at the event.

Debra Maloney said meeting Stephen was a wonderful way to round off a great 12 months for the company: “We couldn’t be prouder of our members. 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.”
