The TV producer revealed to Us Weekly that she makes sure to save her Weight Watchers splurge points for boozy treats.

'Tequila shots or a glass of wine. [My best friend] gayle [King] is losing weight faster than I am because she doesn't drink any alcohol' she said of the This Morning anchor.

'But I will not give up my wine!' the OWN network founder declared.

The Weight Watchers spokeswoman also described her favourite bread which she has shipped over from South Africa.

'There is a seeded bread, I bring home 10, 20 loaves. I am so bad with this bread. I've literally been in hotels and brought my own: "Please can you toast this? I have my own bread." And they're like "You have you're own bread?" And I'll pull it out!'  

Oprah also revealed that she is excited about her fitness which she knows is going to keep on improving thanks to regular workouts.

'Yesterday, I was in the gym working on my triceps, and I was thinking, just as I did the 50-pound pulldown, I am going to be in better shape by the end of the year than I’ve ever been in my life. I really just smiled at the notion: Wow, what a thing.'

The Selma star also talked to Us Weekly about her new role as Mavis in family drama Greenleaf. 

Creator Craig Wright had originally written the role of Mae for her, the steely wife of a powerful bishop, but when she read the script she instantly knew it was the wrong fit.

'The instant I read it I said "No, the person who should play this is Lynn Whitfield," She then asked Wright for another role, 'I can be a sister or something.' So Oprah took on the role as Mae's straight-shooting estranged sibling while Whitfield took on the role of Mae. Greenleaf premieres on OWN June 21.
