Ricki Lake, 55, claims her doctor was 'pushing' Ozempic on her to lose weight as she reveals 'it p***ed her off' and spurred her on to shed 35 POUNDS in seven months


The former talk show host has made a complete 'lifestyle change' alongside her husband, Ross Burningham, and has used the keto diet and Pilates, and says she is in the 'best shape' of her life now.

The TV star, 55, claimed that her doctor told her she wouldn't be 'successful' at losing weight without the controversial drug, which left her feeling 'p***ed off' and even more determined to shed the pounds with her husband, Ross Burningham. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Good Morning America, Ricki explained: 'The doctor was pushing it, we both were overweight and he was saying you aren't going to be successful without it, is what he said to me. The Hairspray star also wrote a series of motivational hashtags to her caption: '#nofilter #nomakeup #hardwork #this is 55 #grateful #strong #happy #healthy #proud.'
