RADIO One DJ Vernon Kay helped Slimming World consultants celebrate 40 years of the business.

The Bolton-born personality, who also presents All Star Family Fortunes on TV, was on hand at the diet club’s glitzy event to mark the achievements of the most successful slimmers.

Among those in attendance were Tiffany Walker, who runs groups at Oxlease Day Centre, Hatfield, and Salvation Army Hall, WGC, and Kim Osborn, who runs the Panshanger Church Hall classes.

Tiffany said: “Meeting Vernon was a wonderful way to end what’s been a fabulous ruby anniversary year.

“At our Slimming World groups we’ve had a great time celebrating throughout 2009 and we’re going to keep that buzz and excitement going right through 2010 so we can help even more people to lose weight and improve their health.

“This January we’re sure there are thousands of people out there making new year’s resolutions and pledging to lose weight.

“At our groups you’ll find a room full of friendly and like-minded people ready to welcome you warmly and support you all the way to a new, slimmer you.”
