TWO Slimming World consultants from Malvern have got the magic touch when it comes to weight loss, according to TV presenter Stephen Mulhern.

Jacky Barnes and Sian Mabey were delighted to meet Stephen, who presents Catchphrase, Britain’s Got More Talent and Big Star’s Little Stars, when he presented the annual Slimming World Awards.

Jacky, who runs groups at Christchurch Hall, Avenue Road, and Redland Road Scout Hut, said meeting Stephen was a wonderful way to round off 2017.

She said: “I 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."

Sian, who runs a group at Somers Park Methodist Church, says 2016 has been a big year for Slimming World, and hopes 2017 will be just as successful.

She said: “Lots of people will be making resolutions to lose weight and improve their health this New Year. I truly believe that joining a local Slimming World group is the best way for people to lose weight and learn new habits.”

Stephen said he was thrilled to meet Jacky and Sian at the event s held at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre.

He said: “I’m known for my magic tricks and there was definitely magic in the air at the Slimming World Awards. The stories I heard from people who had lost amazing amounts of weight and transformed themselves – inside and out – were so inspirational.”
