Prue Leith reveals she didn’t lose any weight on Mounjaro

Prue Leith makes five-word admission on health as she opens up about marriage
  • Prue Leith, judge on Bake Off, revealed she tried the weight-loss injection Mounjaro after her husband, John Playfair, successfully lost 28 pounds using it.
  • Leith stated that despite taking the drug for two months, she did not lose any weight and experienced negative side effects, including a complete loss of appetite and constant tiredness.
  • She expressed her strong dislike for Mounjaro, calling it "terrible" for her and noting its expense, leading her to stop using it as soon as possible.
