As a triathlete who excels at swimming, cycling and running, Louise Minchin is one of the fittest women on TV, so it comes as a surprise that the 54-year-old once gave up on sport.

In an interview with Good Housekeeping, Louise revealed: "To my shame now, I had given up competitive swimming aged 15 when I looked in the mirror and decided I didn't like the way my muscly back and shoulders had changed my appearance."
