The 59-year-old TV presenter said: “The Queen doesn’t go to the gym and she doesn’t run and she’s 93 and she’s all right.

“Apparently she only has a forkful, she only has a tiny bit, that’s what I’ve heard. She’ll sit down and just have one little bit of mousse and bit of lettuce leaf.”

“My great-grandfather once stood in front of Harrods, and he was a wealthy man, very Northern, and  he went, ‘I could afford to buy ­everything in that window, but I’m not going to’ – and I operate on that principle as well.

“I’ve got a 12-year-old Range Rover and I live in a two-bedroom cottage.

“Earlier this year, Jeremy admitted he had lost weight thanks to cycling – but picked up a number of injuries because of his bike.

He said: “I went on a gap year to Indochina. They just have a better diet out there.
