After dropping two dress sizes during training for reality show Strictly Come Dancing, Kate Garraway's return to the GMTV sofa appears to have coincided with a growth in the blonde presenter's girth.

Kate was seen leaving work recently looking somewhat rounder than she has for some time.

Her participation in Strictly Come Dancing involved hours of energetic dance training, which is in stark contrast to her day job which is far less athletic.

And as a result of the daily dance workouts she dropped from a size 12 to a trim size 8-10.

However, following her exit from the show last year fitness is again low on the agenda.

Kate said at the time: "I'm now an 8-10 rather than a 12. My muscles are unbelievably toned and taut. I don't think my bottom has ever been so trim.

"Maybe that come from six weeks of being told to dance like a hooker!"

She also admitted that she had low fitness levels before training started, to add to the lack of dance experience, which suggests she no lover of a daily gym workouts.

But with a full seven-hour day at work, starting at 2.30am when she leaves home to present from the GMTV sofa, and 18-month-old daughter Darcey, maybe a two-hour workout is not high on her list of priorities.

During the show Kate admitted her newfound body confidence had encouraged her to flaunt her new figure for husband Derek.

She even planned to seduce him by wearing nothing more than a fur coat.

She said: "I saw a film once. This woman went to meet her lover in a delicatessen at midnight wearing just a fur coat – nothing underneath," she confided.

"I thought it was unbelievably sexy. I'd love to do something like that."

No wonder young women are obsessed with their weight in this country with media reports like this. A size 12 is not plump, it's healthy.

- Sarah, London

What on earth are they talking about? She looks gorgeous and healthy. She was extremely unwell after the birth of her daughter with thyroid problems which made her lose a lot of weight but now she looks really lovely, healthy, gorgeous, etc. If that is "plump" then I'd happily be so.

- Louise, Essex

She looks great. She has not piled on anything.

- Debbie, London, England
