She has recently shed two stone, so it comes as no surprise that Sharon Osborne may be in need of a new, smaller wardrobe.

Wearing a pink blazer with a pair of wide-legged black trousers, the reality TV star was seen making her way into posh department store Barneys New York on Wednesday

The mother-of-three revealed to Us Weekly magazine that she has been following the Atkins diet and lost 28lbs in the last three months.

Sharon said that as she approached her 60th birthday she wanted to look her best, so when the Atkins Diet company asked her to be the new celebrity ambassador for the brand.

She said: 'In three months, I've lost 28 pounds on the Atkins diet. I want to lose another seven and I'll do that over time.'

'I've struggled with my weight for my entire life. I've been fat and I've been thin,' said the mother-of-three.

'I got the lap-band and lost a ton of weight, but it made me so sick,' she explained of her 1999 lap-band surgery. 'That's why I had to remove it. But when I removed it, I gained about 45 pounds.'

Sharon overhauled her general health following her double mastectomy ordeal by embarking on a new weight-loss program.

The TV star, who previously battled colon cancer, underwent the preventive surgery earlier this year over fears she could develop breast cancer.

She subsequently had reconstructive surgery and then decided to lose weight so she could be healthy and look as good as possible as she hit her 60s.

The Atkins diet, whose fans include Hollywood A-listers Jennifer Aniston and Renee Zellweger, restricts followers a low carbohydrate/high protein diet.

And according to Sharon, her family is supporting her through her latest weight-loss battle with son Jack and husband Ozzy are also fighting the flab on the Atkins diet.

She said: 'They love it because it is so convenient. It’s so yummy.'

Sharon looks lovely in that pink jacket. Not all redheads look good in pink but that colour really suits her. If I had lost two stone and, more importantly, had Sharon's bank balance, I'd also be hitting the shops. She's been through a lot lately with her surgery and the health issues of her family, so let her enjoy a bit of retail therapy.
