Gaby Roslin discusses ditching alcohol and embarking on a health overhaul as she poses for stunning new Prima shoot: ‘I’m lucky I didn’t have a problem’
Gaby Roslin candidly discussed her health overhaul, including ditching booze, in a new interview on Wednesday.
The TV presenter, 59, looked incredible as she posed in a colourful ensemble on the front cover of Prima Magazine.
Gaby spoke openly about wishing she had given up alcohol sooner, as well as gushing over husband David Osman.
She told the publication: ‘I wish I’d given up booze earlier and I wish I’d known how much better I’d feel for it. I gave up five years ago because of my walking – if I had a hangover, then I didn’t walk.
‘I’m lucky I didn’t have a problem and I didn’t drink very much. But the wonderful joy of not drinking is being about to leave a party. I can just say, “Okay, I’m going now, bye.” I don’t miss it.’

Gaby is married to publisher David and they share daughter Amelie, and she shares daughter Libbi-Jack with ex-husband Colin Peel.
Gushing over her marriage, Gaby said: ‘My husband, David, and I just fit together. He’s my second husband and we’ve been together for 18 years now.
‘We still really appreciate what we have. The things that makes it work is that we’re not in competition with each other: we’re very, very different. ‘

The couple tied the knot in 2013 after announcing their engagement in 2012 as Gaby appeared on Loose Women.
Gaby, who turns 60 next year, went on to discuss managing midlife. She said: ‘There’s a lot of ageism out there. It’s no secret in my industry, but it’s everywhere. You can’t do this or that if you’re a certain age.
‘No! I’m lucky that I’ve carried on working, but I have friends who have experienced it. I know an actor who, at 55, was going for the part of someone older than her and was told that she was too old. They cast a 40-year-old. That’s so wrong.’
Gaby is a presenter and broadcaster who first hit our screens in 1992 on Channel 4 series The Big Breakfast.
The Big Breakfast originally ran from 1992 to 2002, with Gaby presenting the show alongside Chris Evans from the show’s inception until 1996.
In 1993, the programme was the highest rated breakfast show in the UK, with around two million viewers tuning in per episode.
Gaby remained on the show until 1996 when Zoe Ball took her place, other famous names to present the programme include Kelly Brook and Denise Van Outen.
She told the publication: ‘I wish I’d given up booze earlier and I wish I’d known how much better I’d feel for it. I gave up five years ago because of my walking – if I had a hangover, then I didn’t walk.’
Gushing over her marriage, Gaby said: ‘My husband, David, and I just fit together. He’s my second husband and we’ve been together for 18 years now.’
Speaking with The Mail On Sunday last year about the programme, Gaby said: ‘Chris and I hit it off from the moment we first worked together.
‘He was incredible to work with – he’s thinking all the time. We never had a script, we just bounced off each other, making stuff up as we went along.’
As a girl, Gaby used to sit alongside the screen during broadcasts of Blue Peter, taking on the role of an imagined fourth presenter, getting her father -former BBC newsreader Clive Roslin- to pretend to film her.
Reflecting on finally getting to live her childhood dream she added: ‘I can still remember that moment when I heard in my earpiece “Ten seconds to live” the first time. It was everything I hoped it would be. I’ve loved every moment since.’
