A SLIMMING World manager from West Devon says meeting singer and TV presenter Peter Andre was the perfect way to get set for a super-slimming start to 2015.

Margaret Roberts, who manages Slimming World groups in Tavistock and Okehampton, was thrilled to get a chance to cuddle up to Peter when he co-hosted the Slimming World Awards with the organisation's chair and founder Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE.

Margaret said meeting the Mysterious Girl singer was a wonderful way to round off what's been a great 12 months for Slimming World, as well as the perfect way to kick start another successful year.

She said: 'I'm so proud of all of our members in West Devon. They've lost fantastic amounts of weight throughout 2014, with many of them reaching their target weights and improving their health substantially.

'It's so rewarding to see people achieve things that they didn't think possible before losing weight, whether that's wearing smaller-sized clothes, taking up new hobbies, reducing medication or being able to do more with their family and friends.

'Meeting Peter was a real treat as he was such a nice guy and a great way to celebrate all of that. I can't wait to help those members hold on to all of the fabulous changes they've made and support even more people to become happier and healthier in 2015.'

Two-time celebrity dad-of-the-year Peter, who famously featured on the ITV show I'm a Celebrity in 2004 and now presents Peter Andre's 60 Minute Makeover, said he was delighted to meet Margaret at the event, at Birmingham's International Convention Centre.
