Russian television presenter Ksenia Borodina has revealed she broke down in tears over her figure after seeing her weight reach 53 kilograms.
The 43-year-old celebrity addressed her body shape during a question and answer session on Instagram stories, where a subscriber asked whether she follows a diet and how she keeps in shape. The platform is operated by Meta, which has been designated an extremist organisation and banned in Russia.
Borodina said she does not observe strict eating restrictions and does not use weight-loss injections, but admitted that she suffers greatly over her current appearance. She explained that she does not sit on diets or inject anything, yet still feels deep distress when assessing her figure.
The television star linked her physical changes to recent shifts in her personal routine, pointing out that she stopped smoking more than a year ago. She noted that weighing between 52 and 53 kilograms feels like too much for her, despite maintaining regular physical activity.
Diet concerns and fitness routine
Borodina emphasised that she possesses athletic legs and has almost no cellulite, but remains unhappy with the overall condition of her physique. She lamented that while she is not fat, she is not lean either, insisting that she does not consume large quantities of food.
The frustration peaked earlier in the day when the presenter broke down crying over her body shape. Borodina shared that she had wept over the situation that very day, adding that she continues to take part in sports actively in an effort to maintain her fitness.
The disclosure is not the first time the influencer has confronted public scrutiny regarding body size. In September, Borodina publicly advised a social media user who had criticised her appearance to shed a ton herself.
Television career and public profile
Borodina rose to nationwide prominence in Russia as the long-running host of the popular reality television show Dom-2, which premiered in 2004. Over nearly two decades at the helm of the programme, she became one of the most familiar personalities in Russian entertainment broadcasting.
Beyond reality television, Borodina expanded her career by fronting lifestyle programmes such as Reboot, while simultaneously building a large social media following. Her online presence regularly centres on fashion, beauty standards, and wellness, making her personal updates a frequent topic of debate among followers.
The presenter continues to balance her fitness efforts with her post-smoking lifestyle, keeping her audience informed as she works to regain confidence in her personal appearance.
