Patsy Kensit has admitted that she is hoping to lose some weight, during her time on Strictly Come Dancing.

The Holby City actress will find out this week who her professional partner on the show will be and in an interview with Radio One admitted that she is hoping they can help her improve her fitness level and lose six pounds or so.

She said:

“I run everyday. I’m really into my fitness. The fitness part of Strictly Come Dancing really appeals to me.

“I need to lose about six pounds. So if I can lose some weight out of this and improve my posture – because I have a hump and round shoulders – I’ll be happy.”

The recently separated star added that she won’t be following in the footsteps of Ali Bastian, who fell for her partner Brian Forutna last year.

“I don’t want a boyfriend. Another husband is exactly what I don’t need,” she claimed. It’s not going to happen. I’m sticking to single. 100 per cent.”
