Kelly's Clarkson's life-changing diagnosis

Kelly Clarkson has opened up about the life-changing diagnosis that kicked started her massive weight loss. 

The American Idol winner spoke candidly on her own chat show about her drastic weight transformation, as she was joined by guest actor Kevin James, who commented on how good she looked. 

Clarkson has long been swamped with rumours that she used Ozempic to slim down, but has now confirmed that the reality of her weight loss is very different. 

“Well, I was told I was pre-diabetic,” she said.

“That’s literally what happened, and, well, I wasn’t shocked. I was a tiny bit overweight.”

The 41-year-old said the health news gave her the push she needed to make some lifestyle changes to turn around her diagnosis. 

“(The doctors) were like, ‘You’re pre-diabetic. You’re right on the borderline’,” she explained.

“And I was like, ‘But I’m not there yet’. And then I waited two years, and then I was like OK, I’ll do something about it.”

Rumours first began to fly of Clarkson using Ozempic to lose weight after her divorce, to which she hit back saying keeping up with her two young children was helping her get in shape.
