KIMBERLEY Walsh has stunned fans with her incredible physique in recent weeks - while she takes to the stage for Big: The Musical in the West End.
And many dieters, desperate to follow in her footsteps, have been left asking exactly how the former Girls Aloud singer, 38, has managed to trim down.

In particular, Kimberley revealed she lost three stone after giving birth to her youngest son Cole Scott in 2017.
Since then she has successfully kept the weight off and has showcased her svelte figure through a string of snaps on social media.
Kimberley, who is now a healthy size ten, says: "For me, its not about being thin I like having shape and definition."
Here, we take you through how Kimberley lost her baby weight...and now continues to stay in shape.
Kimberley has credited zero gravity pilates for helping her to lose weight and transform her figure.
She told The Sun: "Ive been doing zero gravity pilates which is a tame version, its hard strength wise, for me thats really good, to feel strong, Ive never been great at cardio."

Zero gravity pilates is a low-impact exercise that concentrates on strengthening the body, with an emphasis on core strength.
Kimberley admits that she keeps the weight off by regulating her portion sizes - however, she never deprives herself of her favourite treats.
She said: "Ive never been one to get away with strict diets Im more about portion control, I wont deny myself anything, Im not very good at it.
"If I restrict myself I actually put on more weight."
Kimberley says she lost more than a stone through sessions with her personal trainer Peter Maciver, aka PMac.
She says she was "coerced" into hiring him by Rochelle and Marvin Humes at Rochelles 30th birthday party in March.
Speaking about her training sessions, she said: "Its good, because it pushes you. I usually see him once a week just to keep me motivated."
Kimberley is currently starring in a nine-week run of Big: The Musical in the West End alongside former boy bander and fellow Strictly star Jay McGuiness.
She says dancing has helped her stay fit and that eight shows a week requires stamina.

She added: "Jay and I are doing a little bit of dancing in rehearsals, so that is helping. Ive got back to where I was before."
Kimberley credited SlimFast shakes with helping her get in shape after having a baby - having signed up as the face of the brand.
"The shakes are great when Im working out because theyre high in protein," she said.
"I always thought Id struggle with a diet plan that only has sweet food. SlimFast snacks suit me because there are savoury options. My favourite is the Spicy Thai Noodles, at only 70 cals."
One of Kimberley's life mantras has always been about focusing on happiness first and looks second.
She has celebrated her body on social media, especially after becoming a mum to two boys.
Earlier this year Kimberley posted two pap pictures side by side on Instagram, one taken on the last Girls Aloudtour when she was at her thinnest, and another in a bikini, four months after first baby Bobby, now five, was born.
She wrote candidly about putting things in perspective in the second shot, she had just created a human and hoped that other mums would find comfort in seeing the reality of her post-pregnancy body.
Ill take one for the team, she wrote.
