Davina McCall turns 54 today and says she's fitter now than she has ever been.
After developing a passion for fitness and exercise, the TV presenter is more body confident than she was in her twenties, when she first shot to fame presenting dating show Streetmate on Channel 4.
While Davina is not shy about flaunting the fruits of her labour - including that incredible six pack - on Instagram, it hasn't always been this way.
At a routine health check, the host was stunned to discover she had very high cholesterol levels and was at risk of heart disease.
While she'd always been slim, Davina said she was unaware of the damage her lifestyle choices were having on her body internally and after making some changes to her diet has never looked back.
Speaking to the Independent this year, Davina, who is now a fully fledged fitness fanatic, said on of the first switches she made after her wake-up call was going from full-fat milk to semi-skimmed, "which was a big sacrifice for me," she explained.
One great sacrifice Davina says she still 'continues to grieve for', is cheese.
"My half-sister and I lived together for a long time and I remember our favourite dinner would be a ‘picky plate’ of assorted meats, cheeses, French bread and tons of butter.
“Now I very rarely eat cheese, other than a sprinkling of parmesan on my pasta or at Christmas time – I definitely see it more as a treat now."
The mum-of-three is now a fully fledged fitness fanatic and has carved out a lucrative side career sharing tips with her legions of fans.
To stay in shape, Davina says she makes the time to exercise for 30 minutes a day, five times a week.
"Essentially, I look at my body like an engine and it constantly needs fine-tuning to be working at top capacity," she explained.
While she has launched an empire on the back of her own success, Davina has also told fans she believes that her enviable age-defying figure is also down to genetics.
"We all have different body types," she said in an interview with Hello magazine.
"My stomach hardly ever gets fat, but my bum and thighs turn to jelly if I don't work out for like, three days.
"Even after I had a baby, quite quickly I lost my tummy. But when I was pregnant, my redeeming feature disappeared overnight and I was left with an enormous bum and thighs," she explained.
Davina, who has carved out a successful fitness career and sold thousands of work-out videos, continued: "My daughter is what you would call an apple, so she never puts on weight on her legs. But, she is always showing me her tummy and saying, 'Oh god, I look like I'm pregnant!'."
The mother-of-three started the “strong not skinny” movement following criticism that she was projecting the wrong body image by appearing too this in past pictures.
She has also insisted that she doesn’t follow a strict food plan and does binge eat occasionally.
"I'm not restrictive in terms of diet,” she said. “I'm just sensible for the few days following a day where I have been pigging out.
"Stress eating is huge - I did a lot during lockdown…”
But the former Big Brother host advised that it’s important to not be too hard on ourselves when we go off track.
“We give ourselves such a hard time, our internal voice is so aggressive and we need to start being kinder to ourselves," she added.
In a video posted to her YouTube channel earlier this year, the Masked Singer judge showed fans what she eats in a day.
The star opened up her fridge and cupboards and admitted to feeling “immense pressure” at the reveal, explaining: “I do feel I have to be completely honest, so if I eat a sticky toffee pudding then I need to show you [that] because that is what I eat and I think it's important that you know that.
“I eat loads of different stuff. The majority of the time I try to eat wholegrain foods but, you know, we have white bagels...and packet noodles.”
Davina will be the first to admit she hasn't always taken the best care of her body.
In the past she has spoken openly about her battle with addiction, including a dependency on heroin when she was in her 20s.
"After I overcame my addiction issues in my early-20s and quit smoking at 25, I naturally became much more health-conscious – but of course in hindsight, you always think you could have done more to live a healthier life.," she told the Independent.
Asked for the advice she'd give to her younger self now, Davina said: "Do what you’re doing, just bear in mind that you will pay a price for the decisions and lifestyle choices you make now in the long run."
