Fiona Bruce left doctor ‘horrified’ with health confession | Celebrity News | Showbiz and TV

Long-time Antiques Roadshow presenter Fiona Bruce has revealed that her doctor was shocked when she admitted to not doing any exercise after the birth of her son, Sam, who is now 23.

In a candid interview with Woman & Home, the 58-year-old TV star explained how her doctor reacted during a routine check-up.

“I never did any exercise until I went to the doctor before or right after having Sam,” shared Bruce. When asked about his activity level, Bruce responded, “None.”

The doctor, surprised by the answer, asked: “Literally none?” Bruce recalled the moment, saying, “I said ‘no’ and I was mortified because she was so shocked.”

Bruce has since started exercising and now considers it an essential part of his routine. “For me, exercise doesn’t mean living longer, but it gives me energy, and I don’t know what I would be like without it,” she explained.

Bruce also highlighted the mental health benefits of staying active, especially when dealing with the pressures of work. “If I’m feeling stressed at work or stressed about having too much work, I think it’s really helpful,” she said.

In a separate interview with The Telegraph in 2015, Bruce spoke about the challenges she faced balancing her demanding career with motherhood.

She revealed that Antiques Roadshow was the first job she took after the birth of her children, Sam and Mia Rose, which required her to be away from them for long periods of time.

“Antiques Roadshow was the first job I’ve done since my children were born that took me away from them consistently over a period of time. This was a big adjustment for all of us,” she said.

Bruce recently came under fire after the BBC was forced to edit last night’s Question Time.

The star made a blunder on the Labor manifesto, incorrectly claiming the election document did not include the phrase “workers” when referring to national insurance during the live version of the programme.

The later version of the program on BBC One was edited to remove Ms Bruce’s error.

“We are happy to clarify that it is and have therefore removed this from the BBC1 edition of the programme.”
