The 55-year-old actress made a splash eight years ago when she lost 40 pounds on the Jenny Craig program, flaunting her svelte figure in a bikini in an ad campaign for the weight-loss system. Subsequently she came under fire for gaining some of the weight back, but she's no longer obsessing over the scale.

On the show, 10 children compete for the $25,000 grand prize, and Bertinelli is not only there to judge. She also takes it upon herself to soothe tears.
