The secret behind Jonathan Ross’ family’s weight loss as they show off their slimmed-down figures

by

Jane Goldman, wife of Jonathan Ross, recently impressed onlookers with her noticeable weight loss at a red carpet event.

The 55-year-old screenwriter looked fantastic at a premiere, wearing a brown, bohemian-style dress and a leopard-print shawl with her husband.

I’ve noticed a wonderful trend with the Ross family lately – Jane isn’t alone in looking and feeling her best! Several family members have really embraced healthier lifestyles and are showing off fantastic results. It’s inspiring to see!

Jonathan, age 65, has openly shared his experiences with losing weight, and says a new diet is responsible for his improved appearance.

The couple’s youngest daughter, 28-year-old Honey Kinney, is a strong voice for body positivity. She’s openly talked about how damaging and unhealthy diet culture used to be for her.

Now Daily Mail reveals what the trio have said about their weight loss journeys.  

Jonathan Ross

Jonathan has openly discussed his weight loss journey, and he’s had success losing weight by trying different diets.

Recently, he and his wife, Jane, have adopted a vegan and alcohol-free lifestyle, hoping to live more sustainably. He says he’s already enjoyed plenty of good food and is happy with that.

He shared that he lost 14 pounds in four weeks by following a diet consisting only of liquids.

Jonathan recently shared that he’s been eating only liquids as part of a plan to lose weight.

These days, I just prefer to have a chocolate milkshake – it’s simpler. I’m getting older, and I’ve enjoyed plenty of good meals over the years.

Once I stopped drinking alcohol, I understood I’d been drinking too much for a long time. I’m also happy to give up steak – it wouldn’t bother me at all. We’re making an effort to live more sustainably.

However, he was careful to say he doesn’t necessarily promote veganism, and confessed he sometimes gets cravings for non-vegan foods.

He admitted he occasionally eats eggs by mistake, but it doesn’t affect his lifestyle. He clarified that he’s not someone who actively promotes or embodies a vegan diet.

He’s tried both Atkins and Keto diets before, and he once lost almost two stone following the Keto plan.

In 2015, while appearing on Alan Carr’s Chatty Man, he shared that his wife had wanted to start a diet that was sustainable and still allowed her to enjoy eating.

Jonathan shared that he turned to Reddit for advice on losing weight, and many people recommended a diet called Keto.

This diet is similar to Atkins, but relies more on scientific principles. It focuses heavily on protein – things like meat, fish, eggs, and cheese – and includes a significant amount of cauliflower.

It takes a lot of effort to prepare the food, so I enjoy watching them work diligently in the kitchen and savoring everything they create.

He mentioned I could go to Nando’s, but I wasn’t allowed any chips. Jonathan also said that even though he’s been eating a lot, he’s lost about a stone and a half in weight.

Jane Goldman 

Jane, 55, looked noticeably thinner this week when she posed for a photo with Jonathan and their youngest daughter. Their daughter, Honey, shared the picture on Instagram.

I absolutely loved the recent photo of the family! They looked so happy enjoying Tanghulu at a Japanese market. Jane looked amazing, too – she has such a great figure and kept her outfit simple and chic with a beige top and belted pants. It was just a really sweet and genuine moment they shared.

The 55-year-old writer and producer has tried many diets over the years, and often convinced her partner, Jonathon, to diet with her.

Fifteen years ago, screenwriter Jane – known for co-writing hits like Stardust, Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, and Kingsman: The Secret Service – reportedly lost about three stone following a version of the Atkins diet.

She prioritizes health but also emphasizes that she and her husband enjoy eating and reject the pressure to conform to unrealistic beauty standards.

In a 2008 interview, she admitted that both she and her partner had gained significant weight at times due to their love of food.

‘We are pretty relaxed about it and feel strongly about the negative pressure to be thin.’ 

She previously shared with The Guardian in 2018 that her appearance and style were inspired by comics and science fiction, especially after the interviewer pointed out her striking red hair and curvy build reminded them of a classic superhero.

Jane explained that she’s always been a fan of science fiction, fantasy, manga, and comics, and those interests heavily shape her sense of style – a style that’s quite different from most people’s.

She explained she wasn’t trying to be different or make a statement, but simply avoiding being measured against what society expects.

She explained it meant someone was choosing to disconnect and asking not to be evaluated by typical societal expectations. They recognize they don’t fit in and are intentionally living life by their own rules.

Jonathan has often said that he’s been in love with his wife, who he’s been married to for nearly forty years, since the very beginning.

He once said that Jane was his perfect match, no matter what. They’d known each other since childhood, and his feelings for her had only gotten stronger with time. He insisted he’d always loved only her, and always would.

Honey Kinny

Honey Ross, the youngest of the Ross siblings, has gained a large online following by sharing confident photos of herself, especially considering her past struggles with weight.

Having dealt with hurtful online harassment and years of insecurity about her body, she’s now learned to love and accept her figure.

Now 28, she advocates for body positivity and frequently posts glamorous and occasionally suggestive photos of herself on social media.

She often hears from women who say her body positivity work has helped them feel comfortable enough to wear a bikini for the first time, or simply feel good in their own skin.

She explains, ‘Being fat isn’t an emotion.’ She doesn’t feel fat simply because she has fat; it’s just part of who she is, and she’s happy with her body.

Look, I believe strongly in helping others, and if offering a nude photo is what it takes to make a difference, I’m willing to do it. It wasn’t an easy conversation with my parents at first, but they eventually came around and are now incredibly supportive, even proud of my willingness to help in any way I can.

Honey has openly shared her love for her body and her size 18 figure. She uses platforms like Instagram, even posting revealing photos, to increase the visibility of plus-size bodies online. She believes that simply living and enjoying life as a plus-size woman is a form of activism.

I wish I hadn’t spent so much time disliking my own body. I fell for the idea that I needed to change it to be happy, believing that losing weight would solve all my problems and make me fit in. It was a false promise.

She’s talked openly about the roots of her body image struggles, explaining that she always knew she wouldn’t fit the mold of the very thin, glamorous celebrities – what she calls ‘pixie women’ – she saw on her father’s television show growing up.

At age seven, she received a diagnosis of severe dyslexia and was transferred to a different school to help improve her reading and writing skills.

To cheer herself up during her sad train ride across London, Honey stopped at Starbucks for a cheese and Marmite panini.

You know, as a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen this happen to so many people – especially when starting something new! I definitely experienced a change in how others saw me about three months after starting at a new school. It’s like people finally started to get a read on who I was, and it was a noticeable shift.

When I was seven, people often said I was tall enough to be a model, but they stopped saying that as I got older.

I began to notice changes in my body – clothes feeling tighter, and a softness around my stomach that I didn’t see on store displays. Even as a kid, I realized this developing body wasn’t the kind society admired.

My parents, like many people, grew up in a culture obsessed with dieting, which led to them developing negative feelings about their bodies.

When her parents noticed their cheerful, outgoing daughter becoming withdrawn and unhappy as she dealt with the changes in her body, they tried to help in the only way they knew how: by encouraging her to diet and exercise.

Honey, who was nine years old, was offered bracelet charms as a reward for being active. Her parents tried to stop her from eating paninis, but forbidding certain foods actually made her want them even more.

By age twelve, Honey had grown to a size 14, which is larger than average for her age. Her parents thought she might benefit from joining Weight Watchers, and her mother, Jane, even volunteered to join with her for support.

She remembers one night when they ordered pizza to watch Doctor Who. She sadly ate her two slices while her older, skinnier siblings helped themselves to as much as they wanted.

It breaks my heart to see my mum urging me to eat more, telling me the slices are small, even though I’m already full.

By age fourteen, she felt deeply unhappy with her body and requested a personal trainer as a birthday gift. She met with the trainer four times a week and meticulously tracked everything she ate in a detailed food diary.

When she turned seventeen, she started a ketogenic diet with Jonathan and Jane, which involves eating very few carbs to help lose weight.

She describes having a turning point when she started seeing pictures online of ‘beautiful, confident, and stylish women who were also plus-size.’

Instead of trying to change how she looked, she chose to shift her perspective and challenge society’s views of her and others like her.

Honey revealed in 2020 that her parents put her on very unhealthy diets when she was growing up, which contributed to her struggles with body image as a teenager.

Appearing on Loose Women, she explained that her parents had attempted to help with her struggles by suggesting she lose weight. She then advised parents to avoid shaming their children.

She described her difficulty with body image, explaining that she felt powerless over how she looked from a young age.

For a long time, I struggled with really knowing who I was and finding a space to be myself. Then I discovered Instagram, and it felt like a breakthrough. It wasn’t just about sharing photos; it was a way to explore my own identity and finally show the world the real me. It truly helped me understand myself better, and that’s something I recommend to everyone – find your outlet to express who you are!

She went on to explain that her parents, like many others, grew up in the same culture. They witnessed her, as a teenager, express strong dislike for her own body.

Oh my gosh, they actually tried to help me with my weight, which is just… infuriating! They kept throwing diets at me, like that’s going to fix anything. Honestly, diets are the worst – they never work, and they’re totally damaging, you know? It’s like they don’t even get it!

If you want your children to develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies, my best advice is to avoid shaming them at all costs.

However, Jonathan and Jane responded to suggestions that they had tried to manage Honey’s eating habits in an interview with the Times last year.

Jonathan explained they had followed the example set by Honey, and when their daughter wanted to end the diet, they were supportive of her choice.

Our daughter, Honey, had a tough time in school, and we later discovered she had severe dyslexia. She also began to struggle with body image at a young age, which was clearly making her unhappy.

I’m so glad my friend decided to focus on her health! She mentioned wanting to get in shape and try a diet, and Jane and I were happy to support her. But honestly, the most important thing for us was that she felt good, so as soon as she said she wanted to stop dieting, we were totally on board and cheered her on. It was all about what she wanted, and we respected that completely.

Some news reports suggested we started the diet, but we actually followed Honey’s lead. We loved her very much and simply wanted to see her happy.

Honey recently addressed what she said about her parents and her struggles with self-confidence as a teenager. She clarified her earlier statements, specifically praising her father for being supportive and helping her feel comfortable with her body.

She acknowledged that parenting is challenging, even though she doesn’t have children herself. She shared that her parents were always there for her, especially when she struggled with body image. Her father was also incredibly supportive of her beliefs and activism, even happily joining her campaigns when she became a feminist as a teenager.

After everything our family has faced, you might wonder why I share photos of myself on Instagram – especially pictures of me in a bikini at a size 18. Simply put, at 27, I genuinely feel good about my body.

I definitely still have tough days, but my dad taught me not to dwell on negativity. He helped me realize those things aren’t important. He’s been the perfect father – a truly kind and wonderful man.
