Jennifer Ellison drops 5st and looks fab!

 

Wowzers! Check out the wonderful Jennifer Ellison! After going up FIVE dress sizes during her pregnancy with her son, Bobby, the actress has dropped a massive five stone.

Since calling herself a 'hippo mama' the actress has taken on a strict diet and exercise regime, regaining her pre-baby size eight figure. Obviously proud of what she has achieved, the mum tweeted a picture of herself in exercise gear as she filmed an advert for her fitness DVD.

Jen looked even smaller that the picture she uploaded last month. At the time she enthused: 'Hey guys!! I've lost another stone! Here's a totally untouched pic from my new fitness DVD available to pre-order now.'

The former Brookside actress ballooned to a size 18 during her pregnancy and admitted that she found it very difficult to lose the weight after.

She recalls: 'I got huge. I looked like a hippo.

'I had absolutely no idea how I had ballooned during my pregnancy. All I thought about was eating plenty of food to keep my baby healthy.

'I was pregnant at the same time as Coleen Rooney and Denise Van Outen. Denise seemed to snap straight back into her normal clothes and I remember looking at Coleen and thinking I was always much tinier than her and now she was smaller than me.'
