Strictly Come Dancing: Shirley Ballas, age 58, weight loss trick involves doing one thing

Shirley Ballas has a fabulous figure, which she recently showed off on the Strictly Come Dancing 2019 red carpet.

The former-dancer wore a purple and white dress, which nipped in at her tiny waist.

It showed off her toned shoulders, as the presenter wore her hair in a sleek dark brown bob.

Many will be envious of Shirley’s figure, especially given that she is close to 60.

How does the judge stay slim?

Shirley Ballas’s weight loss trick is that she weighs herself everyday in her older age. 

She got into the habit after fearing she had put on weight, and being encourage by friends to weigh herself.

She told ITV’s Loose Women: “For 50 years of my life I never weighed myself at all, I would go by how my clothes fit, but I was back in England to take care of my mother while she was getting better.

“The pounds crept on and I got a little bit nervous about it.”

Shirley spoke about how important it was to her to stay slim and be “telly ready”.

She said: “(Telly ready) is to be the best you feel when you walk out on camera so you feel good in the clothes you’ve got on.

“It’s not about what somebody else thinks about you, it’s about what I feel like in my own clothes in my own skin.”

Shirley is not the only celebrity in her 50s who has wowed with her incredible figure.

Carol Vorderman’s bum has won awards, scooping the Rear of the Year accolade twice. 

She shared her workout routine that helps her cultivate figure.

Another impressive celebrity diet success story is Catherine Tyldesley’s weight loss.

The star, who will take part in Strictly Come Dancing 2019, lost five stone in the past. 

As Catherine prepares for the intense training schedule of Strictly Come Dancing, she admitted her weight stopped her from dancing before.

Speaking to The Sun, she said: “I’ve always wanted to learn to dance. It was something that I shied away from when I was younger.

“I was terrified of it. I was much bigger, so I didn’t have the confidence.”
