Confession: Fiona Bruce has admitted her GP embarrassed her to exercise and left her feeling ‘mortified’ by her lack of movement.
The TV journalist said: ‘I never did any exercise until I went to see a GP before or right after I had Sam.
When they asked me if I did any exercise, I said, “None,” and the doctor replied, “Literally none?” I said no.”
“I was mortified that she was so horrified, so I decided to do something.
“For me, exercise is not about living longer, but it gives me energy and I don’t know what I would be like without it.

‘I definitely get mental benefits. If I feel stressed at work or stressed because I have a lot of work, I find it really useful.’
Fiona shares Sam, as well as her 20-year-old daughter Mia, with her husband, 65-year-old media mogul Nigel Sharrocks, whom she has been married to since 1994.
Fiona has previously admitted that she probably didn’t spend enough time with her two children when they were growing up due to her high-profile TV career, saying she’s thankful they’ve had the same nanny for 20 years.

The TV personality said having the same nanny for two decades helped her balance her professional and home life.
Appearing on the cover of the October issue of Good Housekeeping, she was asked how she balances work and motherhood, admitting, “It definitely helped having the same nanny living with us for 20 years.”
“She left when Mia finished her GCSEs, but she’s a great friend of the family.” She added: ‘Did I spend enough time with my children?
‘I think I scratch the surface of any working woman and she will always think: “Probably not”. I don’t think there is such a thing as quality time with your kids. I think it’s quantity.
“But there has never been any question that they take precedence over everything in my life, and they always have.”
