Holly explained that whilst on some weeks she lost weight, during others “I didn’t lose at all”, and that “for 4 weeks I stayed the same but I kept going”.

The star explained how she hadn’t been on a special diet, and hadn’t stepped in the gym “more than a handful of times”.

She’d simply stuck to a calorie deficit and “movement that I enjoy and could do daily without giving up”.

Holly wanted to make it clear she doesn’t believe being slimmer and leaner “doesn’t mean I am at my peak health and fitness”.

“I was WAY stronger 18lb (8kg) heavier and I would say I preferred the way I felt in the gym at that time,” she said.

“Thinness/health/fitness they aren’t mutually exclusive.

“There is absolutely no reason for me to be this weight all year round and I’m glad I’ve stopped fighting for that.”
