Eat, drink and be merry may well be the motto of the festive season, but once it’s over, you realise that scoffing an entire box of chocolates in an afternoon was not such a good idea. And when you finally wake up after days of merriment, you feel bloated and hung-over and can no longer locate your waist. This can only mean one thing: it’s time for the annual slim-down.

But don’t fret because help is at hand in the shape of celebrity stars like Davina, Denise and Deanne. Not just happy with providing on-screen entertainment, some of our best-loved celebs have got into the figure-fixing act and are helping shape up Britain from the comfort of our very own living rooms. 

From salsa with the Strictly Come Dancing girls to pumping up the volume with Clubland hits, there are literally aisles of workout plans to chose from. So beat the post-Christmas blues and shift a few pounds with help from these exercise gurus. This week we bring you our pick of the bulge-beating celebs.
