Gogglebox star reveals huge weight loss after being rushed to hospital

A Gogglebox star has revealed her huge weight loss after being rushed to hospital.

Melbourne-based TV personality Anastasia Katselas, who rose to fame on the Australian version of the show in 2015, recently underwent emergency surgery after being diagnosed with cancer.

In an Instagram video last week (August 22), the 61-year-old said that she had underwent an emergency hysterectomy, just days after doctors found cancer in her uterus.

"I had a little bit of a health scare, I went into hospital on Tuesday after I got diagnosed with cancer in my uterus, so I had an emergency hysterectomy," Anastasia said.

"I'm fine, I'm home now. I stayed in hospital on Tuesday, Wednesday, came home Thursday. I'm fine, just a bit sore, recovering well."

She continued: "It was a big scare, but thank God they caught it early and I am fine. But I urge all you women, make sure that you do your pap smears regularly, don't wait, don't forget about it.

"I used to do them regularly and I think the last few years I didn't go, I can't remember the last time I went.

"I happened to go to the doctor, because I had a concern, and they did a pap smear and lo and behold, a week later I am in hospital."

Now, Anastasia has revealed that she has lost a staggering 35kg after weighing 115kg. She said that her weight affected her health, leaving her struggling to walk and breathe, so she decided to begin a new regimen.

"When I was at my heaviest, I couldn't wear heels, because my knee was sore and I couldn't balance," she told Woman's Day.

"I thought I would fall over. But now, not a problem! My knee doesn't hurt anymore, nothing hurts, I'm happy as Larry."

The TV star continued: "The biggest benefit is that I'm healthy, I don't feel as lethargic. I don't have aches or pains anymore. I actually feel like a woman again!"

Elsewhere in the interview, Anastasia shared a health update following her cancer diagnosis.

She confirmed her cancer hadn't spread, though she's awaiting some test results post-surgery.

Anastasia shot to fame on the first season of Gogglebox Australia with her friend, Faye Knotos. The pair are set to return for season 22, which debuted in Australia this week.

Gogglebox is available to stream on Channel 4
