"I love Coco Pops for dinner'

This summer stunning Danielle Bux will marry her fiancé Gary Lineker. But she’s got no plans to slim down for her wedding dress.

Model Danielle, 29, who will tie the knot in Italy, swears that she doesn’t believe in dieting.

And the 5ft 6 mum says the secret to her size 8 figure is eating what she wants during the day but then steering clear of carbohydrates in the evening.

She says: “I don’t ever diet, I’m very happy with my figure and love food. I always have a big breakfast and pasta for lunch, and I love chocolate and cupcakes.

“But I don’t eat carbs in the evening – although sometimes I’ll just have a bowl of Coco Pops for dinner.

“I’m not into working out, but I walk my dog twice a day and running around after my daughter Ella, who’s six, is the best exercise you can get!”

Danielle, has been dating football legend Gary, 48, for 18 months. The pair got engaged in September, and are planning a low-key wedding this summer.

Danielle, who’s currently a contestant on Hell’s Kitchen, as well as being the face and body of La Senza lingerie,
and fronting a campaign for AskJeeves.com, says that while she doesn’t worry about ageing, Gary can be quite vain.

She laughs: “I’m not scared of getting old, it’s a good excuse for a party! But although Gary’s a real man’s man, he does sometimes use my face creams!”

Gary already has four sons – George, 17, Harry, 15, Toby, 13 and Angus, 11 – from his first marriage to ex-wife Michelle, and Danielle has Ella from a relationship with footballer Adam Willis.

The former airhostess says she’d love to have children with Gary.

“I definitely want more children, and I know Gary will be a great dad as he’s already a fantastic father to his four boys,” she says.

“He’s also amazing with Ella. Just seeing the way he is with her is more important to me than any romantic gesture would ever be.”
