A Slimming World consultant from Biggleswade has been congratulated on helping slimmers to lose weight and change their lives by singer and TV presenter Peter Andre.

John Stott, who runs a Slimming World group at Biggleswade Academy every Tuesday, was delighted to get a chance to meet Peter when he presented the annual Slimming World Awards.

The Mysterious Girl singer co-hosted the event with the organisation’s founder and chair Margaret Miles-Bramwell.

John said afterwards: “Meeting Peter was a real treat. He was bowled over by the difference Slimming World makes to people’s lives and it reminded me what an important and privileged role I have as a consultant. Now I’m super motivated to support even more Biggleswade people to be inspired to lose weight and lead healthier and happier lives.”

He added: “I couldn’t be prouder of the members of the Biggleswade group. Throughout 2017 they have lost fantastic amounts of weight, with many of them hitting their target weights, improving their health and boosting their confidence.”
