Opera singer Katherine Jenkins, who’s a finalist on Dancing with the Stars, has revealed that she’s desperate to gain weight having lost her “curves”.
Katherine’s weight loss began when she split from former fiancé Gethin Jones six months ago, and her training for DWTS has caused her further weight loss.
And in today’s Sun, Katherine has become one of those annoyingly slim and beautiful women who reckon they just can’t put weight on, no matter what they eat…
As opposed to women like me, who put on weight by merely gazing at a doughnut.
Katherine told the paper, “I really want to put some weight on. I lost a lot just before the show that I didn’t really want to lose in the first place.

Popstar to Operastar victor Joe McElderry has lost his voice after celebrating his win with a party and a karaoke session.
20 year old Joe – and his fellow finalist Cheryl Baker – had been on a booze ban in the lead up to the show’s final, so Joe made the most of the end of that embargo.
The Sun states, “But after clinching the title on Sunday he spent the night belting out karaoke hits with judge Katherine Jenkins and steps singer Claire Richards, who reached the semi-finals.”
Joe said, “We ended up singing lots of Steps songs.
“I didn’t get home until 5am, and had to be on ITV’s Daybreak at six.
“It’s not like me, I’d never normally stay out that late but it was the last time we would see each other properly and we were all celebrating the end of the show.
“We’ve grown very close.” Read more & comment »
