Natalie Cassidy's weight gain fears

Natalie Cassidy has spoken out about fears of gaining weight once she leaves Strictly Come Dancing.

Natalie, who is only a couple of rounds away from making it to the semi-finals, fears that the pounds will creep back on once she gives up her hectic rehearsal schedule.

She said in a Radio 1 interview: “I'm really worried that when I finish I'm going to get really fat again."

Nat also spoke in detail about her rehearsal schedule, which she practices with dance partner Vincent Simone.

"I'm dancing for six hours every day. I'm going to have to start going to the gym again (when it's over) but I can't bare it. I don't believe that normal people love going to the gym," she added.

Natalie famously slimmed down to a size 8 when she released a fitness DVD, but the weight crept back on again and she started Strictly at a size 16. 

However, since being on the show, Nat’s shed a stone, though she insists that she didn’t take part with the intention of losing weight.

Keep it up, Nat – you look great!
