Former Strictly Come Dancing star Gemma Atkinson opened up about her weight in a candid new interview
August 13, 2020 - 07:01 BST Jenni McKnight Celebrities who have taken part in Strictly Come Dancing would likely agree that one of the major benefits of the show is getting fit.
The actress is famed for her strong physique and gruelling daily workouts, but she revealed that she managed to put on"six or seven pounds" by the time she was eliminated after letting her"diet slip massively". "I always say that openly because the training is hard, it’s intense, but because I train differently anyway, my body kind of went backwards a bit and the main reason was because I let my diet slip massively on Strictly."We trained above the Cadbury’s shop, so I had a Toblerone nearly every day, fast food, anything that was just quick and easy really…I think I put on about six or seven pounds by the end of it.
She added:"Growing and birthing a baby is the biggest workout you will ever do in your life. From the minute you find out you’re pregnant, I believe it’s a workout because you’re constantly trying to monitor what you eat and what you do, especially for the first three months I was a nervous wreck."However, when her one-year-old daughter Mia arrived last summer, Gemma felt no pressure to get back into the gym immediately.
