Jennifer Ellison has revealed that training for Dancing On Ice has helped her get back to her pre-baby weight.

The former Brookside star has battled with her figure in recent years but after being pictured in magazines last year, frolicking at the beach and looking larger than ever before, the actress was inspired to lose five stone through diet and exercise.

She is continuing to tone up and slim down and told The Sun that because of her tough rehearsals with professional partner Daniel Whiston, she now has the firmest bum of her life.

She explained:

“My bum’s got really firm. Honestly, your bum and your legs get solid. I could crack nuts.”

Dancing On Ice starts this Sunday and with six stars being badly injured during training, we can’t wait to see how many of them actually make the show! Check out the full lineup here and loads of gossip, news and spoilers here.
