Sometimes a wardrobe refresh becomes unavoidable, especially when your body goes through a dramatic transformation.
That’s exactly where ITV’s financial expert Claer Barrett found herself as she stepped onto the Lorraine set, lighting up the studio with a huge smile and a noticeably slimmer silhouette.
A Confident Appearance in a New Style
Claer, well known to viewers for her practical money advice, appeared in a vibrant plunging pink dress that showed off her four-stone weight loss.
She joined fashion specialist Mark Heyes for a fun segment focused on helping people rethink their closets after shedding weight — a challenge she now knows all too well, considering she has dropped four dress sizes.
Before diving in, Lorraine introduced the moment with genuine warmth, noting how open Claer has been about her journey with weight loss injections and how dramatic the change has been.
Lorraine joked that having clothes suddenly become too big is “a nice problem to have,” setting the tone for an upbeat conversation.
Talking Through the Transformation
When Mark asked how she felt, Claer admitted she’s healthier and happier — but also laughingly confessed that her shrinking wardrobe has become costly since nothing fits anymore.
She explained that although she now wears a size 14, her mind still pictures herself as a size 20.
To help her embrace her new shape, Mark put together several outfits: mom jeans with a crisp white tee, a sleek jumpsuit paired with a biker jacket, and a shimmery red midi dress that hugged her new curves beautifully.
They also discussed clever ways to declutter old clothes, including using resale apps like Vinted and visiting local tailors for alterations — something Claer already did for the pink dress she wore on-air.
Honest Conversations About Weight Loss Jabs
Lorraine made sure to highlight the ongoing debate around weight loss injections.
She praised Claer for always being transparent about her use of Mounjaro and emphasized that results like hers come with lifestyle changes — not just the jab.
Claer agreed wholeheartedly, noting that consistent exercise and healthier eating were just as important in her transformation.
Why She Chose the Injection Route
During a previous visit to the show, Claer talked about starting Mounjaro in November 2024.
When Lorraine asked why she made that decision, Claer was candid: she had a BMI of 37 and wanted to avoid long-term health risks, particularly diabetes.
She shared that a single alarming blood pressure reading during a stressful work period pushed her to take action.
As someone who frequently writes about health, longevity, and retirement planning, she felt it was important to make decisions that supported her future well-being.
She described starting the medication as a “calculated risk,” but noted she experienced no severe side effects. Still, she informed her workplace just in case.
The Lifestyle Overhaul Behind the Results
Beyond the jab, Claer explained how much she had to change her daily habits.
From reducing portion sizes to cutting back on high-calorie convenience foods, she restructured her diet entirely.
She admitted that hectic days used to leave her leaning on quick meals — toast, pasta, sandwiches, and the occasional takeaway — a pattern many busy people can relate to.
Her experience with Mounjaro involved weekly injections, beginning at 2.5mg and gradually increasing over several months.
She also invested about £200 monthly into the treatment, showing just how committed she was to improving her health.
The Show Must Go On
As always, Lorraine continues to air weekday mornings on ITV1, with episodes available to stream on ITVX for anyone who missed the uplifting moment.
