From surgery to acupuncture and IVF, the former GMTV presenter enthuses about her new role as a parent and her battle to regain her figure

Blinking back tears, Clare Nasir took in every last detail of the tiny newborn cradled in her arms.

It was November 2009 and this moment had often seemed an agonising impossibility.

The former GMTV weather girl had been told by doctors she was possibly infertile – she and her husband, BBC6 DJ Chris Hawkins, had already failed to conceive with invitro fertilisation (IVF).

But today Clare, 41 – who was photographed last year in an unflattering green bikini while exercising to lose her baby-weight, and a few months later released a fitness DVD that became a best-seller – enthuses about her new role as a parent to 21-month-old Sienna.
