A SLIMMING World manager got some TLC from JLC when she cuddled up to comedian Justin Lee Collins at an awards ceremony.

Fiona Jones, who runs weight loss groups in Durham, got a hug from the TV funnyman at Slimming World’s annual awards night, held in Birmingham.

She said it was the perfect ending to an amazing year.

Mr Collins said: "I know only too well that slimming isn’t easy. Having a great support network around you makes all the difference.

"Having met Fiona I think people in Durham are incredibly lucky to have so many great Slimming World groups on their doorstep."
