Caprice Bourret regrets taking fat jabs because it caused her to have horrendous side effects

Even though the drug successfully made Caprice shed the weight - which she piled on after having lots of takeaways and more sugar - Mounjaro ended up making the star not feel good about herself, and later ruled that weight-loss injections are not for her.

Caprice told the new issue of Top Sante magazine: "I'd never used a weight-loss drug before, but I'd relaxed my usual routine and the weight crept on.

"I'd been having more takeaways, more sugar. I went from a size eight to a 12. But for me, it wasn't so much about how I looked, it was about how I felt: sluggish, tired and not my best.

"Being in the public eye comes with pressure, sure, but I'm human, so I tried the jab, Mounjaro, out of curiosity and a desire to get back on track

- but it was a mistake.

"I used it for just under two months, and the side effects were no joke. I had constant nausea, dizziness and no appetite. I didn't feel like me anymore.

"It was effective, sure, as the weight came off, but I didn't like how it made me feel. I couldn't think straight some days. That's when I knew it wasn't the right path for me."

Ultimately, Caprice - who believes the stress of "juggling family, work and travel" caused her to gain weight - says her wellbeing trumps size.

The star - who has 11-year-old sons Jett and Jax with her 59-year-old husband, financier Ty Comfort - added: "Health has to be about balance and feeling good, not just looking a certain way. You can't sacrifice your well-being for a number on the scales.

"And why are people wanting to erase the enjoyment of craving and eating food anyway? Surely that's one of life's pleasures? I love food, and I missed wanting to eat it.

"So, I stopped using the drug. I'd rather feel strong and healthy and do it the natural way by eating well and exercising."

The Ladies of London cast member also thinks weight-loss injections "have set us back decades in terms of body positivity".

Caprice explained: "Let's be real, they were designed for people with serious health issues, such as diabetes, not for women who are already a healthy weight but want to drop a few pounds.

"The psychological and physical implications are worrying, and we all know someone who's used them who absolutely didn't need to. The real concern is: can people stop? Are they becoming dependent? And what's the long-term effect on the body? We just don't know.

"Promoting them as a quick fix or miracle jab to be thin is incredibly damaging. It's pushed us back to that outdated, dangerous mindset from the 90s."
