Speaking on the show, Sue said: "I've had a really bad year, I had a hysterectomy in March, then a few weeks ago, I ended up in A&E."

She continued to say that if she appears smaller this year, it is because of this and not because of a diet or gummies.

Sue added: "These companies pray on vulnerable people all the time", before revealing that one person she spoke to had spent £160 on the website which was using her face to sell the products.

Previously, Sue has spoken about her weight loss, telling people that she decided to cut out alcohol after lockdown.

She recently told her fans: "I lost some weight last year, I stopped drinking and I went in the jungle.

"Yes, I have lost weight this year but not from any diet. I had some women's health issues and I lost quite a lot of weight, too much weight - I look shocking at the minute and I'm actually trying to put on weight."
