London: Charlotte Church has revealed the secret behind her new smokin’ hot body.
Charlotte, who’s married to Welsh rugby star Gavin Henson, had ballooned to a size 16 after giving birth to Ruby, two, and Dexter, 14 months.
The 24-year-old singer turned to professional sportsman Gavin, 28, to help her fight the flab, reports The Mirror.
And she denied claims she resorted to a gastric band, saying: "It``s very simple, my weight loss. I just eat better and eat less food than I used to.
"So that means less stodge, less junk food like burgers and chips and smaller portions, with meals consisting of things like lean meat and salad.
"I certainly haven``t embarked on some great exercise regime to get slim. Exercise is alien to me and I don``t like doing it.
"Gavin took me out on a couple of training runs but it was way too much for me. I told him I``d have a heart attack if I carried on so I stopped. I should have realised that it would be a mistake.
"Gavin is a trained sportsman and his regime is punishing, way too much for me, what with all the sprints and supershort rests in between.
"They may be great for a rugby player but they left me feeling absolutely knackered. I only took part in them because I knew I``d have to lose weight after my babies were born.
"I did eat vast amounts when I was expecting Ruby and Dexter and inevitably piled on the pounds."
But, she adds: "Gavin has never put pressure on me to lose weight - he``s always been happy, whatever shape I``ve been.
"And I have to say that I``ve always felt comfortable in my skin and never felt pressure to lose weight just to alter my appearance.
"But I do now have the perfect incentive to lose weight and get more in trim - and that``s my kids. I want to be around for them for as long as I possibly can be. Being fit and healthy will help me do that. Gavin, Ruby and Dexter are my life and the work is a sideline.
"That doesn``t mean to say I don``t take it seriously - I do. But at the heart of my life are my family. I hate to be apart from them.
"I breastfed both of my children and I``m looking forward to being around when Ruby goes to school. I want to be that mum on the school run - for both her and Dexter. I want to be a hands-on parent."
