Interview Laura Forsyth I’M PREPARING TO RUN THE LONDON MARATHON! ‘I’m busy training for my biggest fitness challenge, running over 26 miles in April for Leicester Hospitals Charity. That’s why I’m determined to lose weight, especially now the festivities are out of the way. At the start I weighed 12st 8lb, and I’d love to get to 11 stone – or lower!’

IN THE PAST I’VE STRUGGLED WITH MY WEIGHT ‘Being on the road always meant it was hard for me to eat as well as I’d like. I want an excuse to shop for smaller clothes, so I’m going to the gym a minimum of three times a week. I’m starting the New Year feeling healthy, unlike previous years after all those Christmas dinners!’

CELBRITY SLIM IS THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR ME ‘I find the meal replacements work well with my body, and I also don’t feel as hungry as I have done on other plans. The brand fits perfectly around my busy schedule, too. The shakes, soups and porridges are easy to prepare, while the bars are so tasty I feel like I’m cheating! I also get to enjoy a healthy and filling dinner from a recipe off the website.’

THIS YEAR I’M STICKING WITH MY RESOLUTIONS ‘As well as committing to improving my health and training for the London marathon, my other New Year’s resolution is to try to drink more water. I can safely say that I am absolutely terrible at it! I even have to set alarms throughout the day on my phone to remind me, as drinking water is just not something I naturally think about.’

I’ve always had a bit of a sweet tooth and chocolate is my one big love

CHOCOLATE IS ONE OF MY BIGGEST DOWNFALLS ‘I’ve always had a bit of a sweet tooth, and chocolate is my one big love. I can’t recommend the Celebrity Slim bars enough for satisfying those cravings. They honestly taste like a Double Decker to me, so I’m totally winning when I have one!’ EXERCISE IS AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR DIET FOR LOSING WEIGHT ‘I enjoy swimming and love football. I also have two fabulous trainers helping me prepare for the marathon. Dan Morris and Debbie Jardine, if you’re reading this then you’re great at pushing me to go that bit further!’

A life-changing way to lose weight

A weight loss journey can be inspired by many different reasons. Whether it’s getting in shape after pregnancy, health reasons or simply to fit into your favourite pair of jeans again, we all have our motives.

Joati lost 7st 4lbs in 35 weeks. Find out how...

For Joati, her lifelong dream of being able to look and feel good in clothes was her motivation. After struggling with her size for years, she shed an impressive 7st 4lbs in 35 weeks. Now super-trim Joati can fit into a size eight dress size and feels the most confident she has ever been in her life.

WHAT IS HER SECRET TO TRIMMING DOWN? Joati overcame her unhealthy lifestyle through Alevere Therapy, a simple, lifechanging approach to longterm sustainable weight loss. The therapy combines ultrasound, a non-surgical skin tightening and body shaping treatment with a nutritional programme. All of these activities are carried out under close supervision by a team of medical doctors. The experienced medical team has been carefully trained in Alevere Therapy so that you can lose weight fast and safe. The Nutrition Plan contains a variety of vegetables and fruits, many of which can be eaten in unlimited quantities. The plan is simple, and you will be able to quickly and easily prepare many delicious dishes. Even better – there’s no need to give up your favourite treats either, with chocolate bars and desserts featuring on the menu. The range and variety of food is extensive, so you never get bored or hungry and they taste delicious.

Super slimmer Joati’s tipped the scales at 16st 8lbs at the start of her journey. However, she now weighs 9st 4lbs after following the programme for 35 weeks.

She said: “Completing Alevere has made my lifelong dream of being slim become a living reality. From day one I found sticking to the program really easy and effortless. Words can’t describe or do justice to just how you feel - complete happiness. To be able to fit into size 8/10 clothes and walk into any shop and buy any outfit is something I have never been able to do so currently I am having so much fun shopping, trying out new styles and creating new looks.”

Completing Alevere has made my lifelong dream of being slim become a living reality

Alevere’s programme is great for busy people as many recipes can be prepared in advance making it easy for you to integrate into your routine. These foods are supplemented with a regular intake of natural, purified proteins and amino acids to ensure that your

daily protein intake remains optimal throughout your weight loss journey. Joati added: “You literally wake up every morning and feel amazing. I have created the life I love. Truly, the best decision I ever made. If I can do it, anyone can do it. So start your journey today and make your dreams come true. I promise you; you won’t look back.” So, with a new wardrobe and a newfound confidence she never thought she’d ever have, it seems that Alevere has proved to be a life changer for Joati.

Charlie King The personal trainer on staying in shape – and how he handles the GC

More from Charlie at celebrity secrets.com

Interview Claire Muffett-Reece

Charlie, you’re in great shape! Have you always been body confident? ‘Not at all. The truth is body confidence is just a by-product of general confidence. For me being fit, healthy and strong helps in all areas of my life. I look at things that I feel need improving or will help my life – and work on that.’

How else do you stay fit? ‘I love running. Music is a huge thing in my life and nothing beats whacking some music on, getting a good jog pace going and getting some fresh air. Hiking is also something I want to do more of. I’ve hiked in northern Spain and Wales and really enjoyed it – and the legs loved it, too.’

What do you do to keep fit? ‘I exercise most days for up to an hour. After I had shoulder surgery I had to lay off the weights for six months. That meant doing more body weight circuits and exercises to keep my heart rate up, burning calories while keeping my waistline in check.’

Do you watch what you eat? ‘I keep my calories quite low. I eat plenty of veg, avoid lots of meat and swerve saturated fat wherever possible. I’m a sucker for pizza or chunky chips with lots of ketchup at the weekends, though. I also love sugar! In my fridge you’ll find Greek yoghurt, berries, veggies, eggs – and chocolatecovered marshmallows! You’ve got to have some treats!’

You trained Gemma Collins on her TV show. Why do you get on so well? ‘I know how to handle her. We have a genuine friendship and are always honest with each other. I keep her in check, too! She’s also a big help with my fitness business, as she has a great third eye.’

I exercise most days for up to an hour

What do you think about Gemma and Arg as a couple? ‘I’m a great believer in love, and if people are meant to be together they’ll end up with each other. Only time will tell.’

Did being on TV again make you miss your time on TOWIE? ‘My life has gone in a totally different direction. Reality TV is a great opportunity but it’s not long-term in my opinion.’ For more info on Charlie’s fitness business head to charliekingfitness.com

Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Also, you should not exceed the recommended daily supplement dose of iron without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. Active Iron is clinically proven to have stronger absorption and is specially formulated to prevent constipation. *Wang et al, Acta Haematologica 2017; 138: 223-232. Iron, folic acid and vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. Vitamins C & D contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin D5 contributes to normal mental performance.

Back to your best!

Active Iron & B Complex Plus for Women - making iron better

The New Year is an exciting time, offering the promise of a fresh start and new beginnings. With this comes the opportunity to recommit to your health and well-being. But you know what they say about these resolutions; easy to make and even easier to break. Whether you feel inspired or slightly overwhelmed Active Iron for Women has your back. Stay on track by adding iron to your diet as this can give your health a huge boost, helping you feel more energised, therefore making those promises easier to keep. Pairing a supplement like Active Iron for Women with a varied diet and healthy lifestyle can help boost your energy levels and support you achieving your goals whatever they may be. New Active Iron and B Complex Plus for Women contains Active Iron’s ground-breaking protein formula and a new specially formulated Active B Complex with a targeted delivery system. Iron plays an important role in normal energy metabolism, oxygen transport, cognitive function, immune function

and formation of red blood cells. However, iron is especially important to women, as on average we lose around 220 to 250 milligrams of iron per pint of blood during each menstrual cycle (the total loss of blood can be up to half a pint). As such, it is particularly important for woman of childbearing age to meet their daily iron intake. However, this may be difficult to

achieve through diet alone. Formulated by scientists Active Iron and B Complex Plus for Women contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12; these all contribute to the normal energy-yielding metabolism in the body. It also contains Vitamins C and D which help maintain normal immune function. Active B Complex+ for Women includes selenium, biotin and zinc. Biotin and Zinc support healthy skin whilst selenium and zinc support healthy hair and nails.

Iron is essential to life for both men and women

The high-strength formula and targeted delivery system supports the synchronised release of minerals and vitamins B, C, D, E and K. It’s suitable

for women who are pregnant or are trying to conceive, contains 400 ug folic acid and does not contain Vitamin A. Active Iron & B Complex Plus for Women is suitable for vegetarians and is free from artificial preservatives, yeast, gluten and sugar - to help put you on the right path for the New Year and beyond. WHY CHOOSE ACTIVE IRON? Active Iron is clinically proven to absorb twice as much* iron than other tablets. Its nonconstipating formula also ensures reduced gut irritation from iron. Active Iron’s formula means that you can take an iron supplement daily to support your energy needs with less risk of gut irritation. FIND OUT MORE...

Specially formulated for women and men; Active Iron and B Complex Plus for Women, and Active Iron and B Complex Plus for Men are half price at Holland and Barrett until 21 January, 2020. T&C’s apply, visit activeiron.com for more details. celebritysecrets.com

The model-turned-entrepreneur on staying fit with her family Interview Laura Forsyth

KEEPING IN SHAPE’S HARD ‘I eat a vegetarian diet and try to snack on healthy foods. I also go to bootcamp whenever I can, but I prioritise my family over an exercise class. I’m comfortable in my body and yes, it’s important to stay fit for health reasons, but I’m content enough to enjoy my life.’ THE TRAINING FOR DANCING ON ICE IS IMMENSE ‘I’m actually pretty fit right now as our schedule for the show is pretty intense. The hours are long, but it’s also so much fun – and my trainer is amazing. It’s important to prepare properly, as I’m learning a new sport which requires great skill and talent. I can’t wait to show everyone how I’m getting along!’

WE LIKE TO KEEP FIT AND ACTIVE AS A FAMILY ‘My two sons are involved in so many activities. They love football, tennis, martial arts and horse riding, and they also take piano lessons. It’s important they try lots of things, so that when they get to a certain age they can pick what their passion is. As a family we also love long walks and getting fresh air – even a trip to the local park is a fun way to stay active.’ KNOW WHAT YOU’RE EATING ‘As a busy mum I like to know exactly what’s going into my family’s food, so preparing meals and having a routine is important to me.

Joanna Chimonides The Love Island star on staying in shape – on both the inside and out Interview Lauren Naylor LIFE’S BUSIER THAN EVER ‘I haven’t stopped since leaving Love Island last summer. Working with so many brands has been a dream of mine for so long – and now I get to do it as my job! I recently worked with Doll Beauty and can’t recommend their Gimme Sun Bronzer enough – it’s incredible. I also love their false lashes – as soon as you put them on you feel amazing!’

ALWAYS LOVE WHAT YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR ‘While exercise is a must for a healthy body and mind, you need to remember to love the body you’ve been blessed with. We all have doubts and “off days” about our appearance, but you need to appreciate all that you have, as self-love increases your confidence and self-esteem.’ FOR ME NATURAL BEAUTY IS DEFINITELY BEST ‘I admit I’ve been tempted to dabble with aesthetics in the past, considering lip filler because my top lip isn’t the same size as my bottom. However, I’ve always been in favour of natural beauty, instead using make-up to achieve the “aesthetics” look. One thing I love about makeup is that it can never get old. There are always new colour lipsticks out and new products, so you can never get bored.’

You need to remember to love the body you’ve been blessed with

EXERCISE ISN’T JUST ABOUT HITTING THE GYM ‘Because work’s so busy I struggle to find time to go to the gym as much as I’d like. Instead I make sure I take my dogs on daily walks and do a few sit-ups now and then to keep my stomach nice and toned. I also try to take the stairs whenever I can, as opposed to using a lift or the escalator. It’s amazing how many extra steps you get in just by doing that!’

MAKE-UP CAN LIFT YOUR MOOD ‘When I was studying for my degree I wore make-up to go to the library, as it lifted my mood and set me up for the day. Girls these days wear make-up younger than I did, but I think this is all down to celebs and make-up artists posting techniques and advice on social media.’ I LOVE TO MEDITATE TO SWITCH OFF ‘Meditation music always works to distract me from over-thinking and relaxes me so much. A bath and massage are also key when it comes to my self-care. I work hard and like to reward myself, so those are definitely my go-to rituals.’ Joanna is an ambassador for dollbeauty.com

The perfect product for tired muscles

The start of the New Year is always a good time to think about making positive lifestyle changes, including those that can help better manage your joint

and muscle pain. One of these adaptions could be applying Pernaton, a natural product available in two forms – Gel or Gel Forte – to your daily routine.

FOR JOINT MASSAGE Pernaton Gel (blue label) is made from green lipped mussel extract. It has been formulated to aid connective tissue and joint care. This can also benefit sportsmen and women before and after exercise, with a fresh and pleasant aroma. Applying the non-greasy gel direct to the problem area, it’s quickly absorbed creating an instant cooling effect. It’s the perfect product to apply to achy muscles. FOR MUSCLE MASSAGE Pernaton Gel Forte (red label) has been designed to help alleviate muscle aches and pains. The product contains the added ingredients of Cayenne Pepper extract and valuable, physiologically active essentials oils. The gel creates a lasting and pleasantly warm feeling which stimulates muscles and increases

circulation in the skin. Ideal for sportspeople or people whose joints are already badly worn due to excessive stress. This would be a perfect product to apply to sore and achy muscles.

What should you do if you’re struggling with mental health? ‘Don’t push it to the back of your mind – instead try and face it head on. Surround yourself with people that make you feel safe and comfortable, too. It’s also important to have a hobby. Whether it’s running, dance class or spin, make sure you look after your body as well as your mind.’ What needs to be done for those in the public eye who suffer with mental health? ‘It’s a tough subject as even though it’s spoken about more, I still feel a lot of people won’t be too open about it.

There’s a lot of opinionated people online that make you question everything. Things you’d never think about, they give you a complex about. I mostly ignore it but sometimes it can be difficult if you’re having a bad day.

Many Love Island stars find it hard to adjust to fame. How do you stay balanced? ‘I’ve got the same group of friends from before I went on the show, so that side of my life is exactly the same. I was a bit mixed up when I first came out of the Love Island villa. I was doing social media posts for brands that I really didn’t value or actually believe in, because I thought that’s just what I was meant to do. Over time it was killing my soul – and that’s when I decided to take control and instead chose to continue with my fitness path. I am so glad I did. I am now lucky to enjoy my work in everything I do, because it’s my passion and I love it.’

Wake up feeling fresh and energetic

We make New Year’s resolutions because we want to be the best versions of ourselves. There is something limitless about the possibility of a new year and a fresh start. One of the best (and perhaps most underrated ways) to improve our health, productivity,

and athletic performance starts with a good night’s sleep. When we sleep, our hormones reset, our brain reinforces important neurological activity, and our immune systems are strengthened.

Did you know that the UK is the most under slept of any nation? More than 40% of adults get seven hours of sleep or less per night. Consistently getting less than seven hours of sleep crushes our immune systems and can generate a hormone that makes us feel more hungry – detrimental to anyone resolving to lose weight this year.

b. sleepy, is a multi-vitamin CBD tincture that is formulated with 1000 mg of full spectrum hemp oil, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins C and D, all combined to improve the quality of a night’s sleep.

Did you know that the UK is the most under slept of any nation?

Balance the body and calm the mind

Cannabis tea won’t get you ‘stoned’ – but can promote health and wellbeing

Body and Mind Botanicals was born out of the desire to produce high-quality cannabis products and introduce people to the benefits of CBD, which may include relief from pain and inflammation, as well as stress, anxiety and low mood. Unlike THC, the psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant, CBD won’t get you ‘high’ or ‘stoned’. Instead, their cannabis tea has been shown to help people relax and sleep better, making it the ideal drink to have before bed. The company pride themselves on being involved in every stage of production, from seed selection to delivering organic cannabis products to their customers. Body and Mind Botanicals cannabis tea and oil is a full-spectrum cannabis product, contains below the level of THC allowed in the UK and most of Europe (0.2%) and is certified organic and vegan.

that moment he would give it a go. He claims he instantly felt the benefits, but the biggest thing for him is that people around him said they noticed a great improvement in his general mood. Without even realising he suffered with low mood, anxiety and stress, this led onto a time of reflection which was really tough.

CBD allowed him to release his anxiety and let the person he really was shine through

Body and Mind Botanicals comes from a very personal place. The company’s journey started three years ago when Michael Fitzgerald, the co-founder was researching therapy for Multiple Sclerosis. This is something that a very close family member suffered with. After reading early studies relating to MS and CBD it then led him onto doing more research and he found how CBD could help with sleep. This was something that was a real interest to him, as from the age of 14 he had rarely slept for more than four hours a night. He decided from

Once he discovered these amazing changes to himself, he became very frustrated with the lack of product quality, consistency and misinformation he would find when trying to purchase the oils. So after a solid 12 months of research his business partner Martin Kaprockyj joined him. A further six months along they had put in place farms and distribution. Then Body and Mind Botanicals was born. They are the only company in Europe that harvests their unique strain of plant and process it in

the way that they do, which gives their tea its distinctive fresh flavour. As well as having a beautiful taste, in every cup you will find 25-40mg of CBD depending how long the tea is brewed for. The great thing about drinking the tea is that after only five minutes many customers say they start the feel the benefits.

Your dream wedding

Where would you like your dream wedding? On a beach? In a castle? On a clifftop? In a woodland glade? By the riverside? With a humanist wedding from Humanist CeremoniesTM you can have your wedding ceremony wherever you choose.

In England and Wales, humanist weddings are not yet legally recognised, which means they are not bound by the need for a licensed venue. You can celebrate a humanist wedding wherever you like.

Celebrants often have their own ideas and the team will be happy to work with you to put together a ceremony that is tailor-made to suit you.

STATELY HOME, BARN, CASTLE, OR HOTEL Whilst many private castles, hotels, stately homes and barns are licensed for weddings, your dream venue might not be, but with a humanist wedding, you don’t have to worry. You can have your fairytale wedding wherever you choose.

If you’re thinking of a non-religious wedding, a humanist ceremony could be perfect for you

Here are a few ideas to inspire you to have your wedding, your way. A WOODLAND WEDDING There’s something enchanting about a wedding in a secret little woodland glade, and with all that

With a humanist wedding, we could make your dream come true. A RIVERSIDE WEDDING A pretty riverside can be the perfect setting for a ceremony. BEACH WEDDING You don’t need to hop on a plane to enjoy a beach wedding. With a ceremony from a Humanist Ceremonies celebrant, you can have your wedding on your favourite UK beach.

I make sure I always leave my phone in the locker and head off for a full body massage. It helps me to relax, which is so good for both body and mind. I enjoy it so much I regularly fall asleep on the massage table!’

Trolls made me Google nose jobs

STRESS MAKES ME SPOTTY ‘I suffered from stress acne when I was 21 and paid to see a dermatologist for help. I now look after my complexion with good-quality products. I also watch what I eat – my skin and body isn’t as forgiving as it used to be! I follow the Keto diet which is low on carbs. However, I can’t resist Gu Zillionaire Cheesecake and Cakeaway Dipped Chocolate Strawberries!’

TROLLS WON’T BREAK ME ‘I recently realised how much trolling affected my confidence. Not long after I left the villa I ended up Googling nose jobs and hair transplants, because people were saying I had a huge forehead

and a big nose. Rosie at celebrity The comments secrets.com had a serious impact on the way I saw myself. I had never had an issue with my looks before Love Island – and that’s the power these trolls have.’ IT’S TIME TO UP THE LOVE ISLAND AFTERCARE ‘With Love Island you get thrown into a world where everyone thinks they know you. I’m a strong woman, but I’m not ashamed to admit I struggled with anxiety, avoiding social situations because I worried what might happen. There shouldn’t be the assumption we know what we’re doing – because we don’t.’ Follow Rosie on

I’M NOT A ‘NATURAL’ BEAUTY ‘I wasn’t blessed with thick hair, plus I haven’t looked after it as much as I should! Because of this I wear Beauty Works Invisi-Tape extensions. I’ve also experimented with aesthetics for the past five years. I originally wanted bigger lips, then as I’ve gotten older I’ve had other treatments, because I’m not ready to grow old gracefully!’

The Girls Aloud star on why you should only ever dress for yourself Interview Laura Forsyth

What’s your favourite feature about yourself – and how do you showcase it through your style? ‘I have a fairly small waist, so I always try to draw focus to this with high-waisted trousers and skirts or waisted dresses. What is important to me is that I only dress for myself and no one else. I also choose clothes based on how it makes me feel. Style is very much dependent on your mood and as such it’s a very personal thing.’ Tell me about your collaboration with Regatta… ‘I’ve been working with them on my own collection of coats and it’s been such a fun and exciting process.

They have such an amazing design team and they really listened to my input. I feel like I’ve succeeded in designing functional coats for every single occasion – that also make you look and feel fabulous!’

Do you have any fashion faux pas from your Girls Aloud days you’d rather forget about? ‘We certainly had some strong looks in the early days when we were just starting out! I personally wouldn’t revisit the clothes we wore in our 2003 track, No Good Advice, but you have to remember that was 17 years ago! The look was definitely reminiscent of that moment in time, plus it’s good to experiment and be brave sometimes!’

Style is a very personal thing

What are your favourite looks for the winter months? ‘It’s definitely a roll neck jumper with an oversized blazer and jeans, or a mini skirt to dress it up a little more. Having said that this look might not necessarily work for everyone. The most important piece of fashion advice I’ve ever been given is to always dress for your shape, and never just follow the trends.’

The Hairy Bikers Si King and Dave Myers on why nothing beats a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea Interview Amie Thomas

What’s your favourite country to visit for its food? S ‘It’s difficult to say. Southern India perhaps stands out for me, as it’s such an amazing part of the world. It was all vegetarian too, which was interesting.’ D ‘For me it’s got to be Thailand. We cooked a school dinner there, and where we have salt and pepper, they have chillies, lime and spices. It’s a great place to explore.’

Ever had a cooking disaster? S ‘We were on a boat making crab soufflés, but cooking in the middle of the Irish sea – while on a charcoal oven – meant they ended up looking more like crab poo!’ D ‘I remember working on a recipe for duck dumplings, where we wanted them to take on an orange flavour. Something weird happened between the orange juice and the dumplings, and they were so hard we ended up playing ping pong with them! That recipe didn’t make it in the book!’

Who’d be your dream dinner party line-up? D ‘Alice Cooper – and the Pope!’ S ‘Che Guevara, Greta Thunberg and Gandhi.’ D ‘I’d also want Laurel and Hardy, Keith Moon from The Who, and Keith Floyd.’ S ‘Most of them are dead like, but never mind.’ The Hairy Bikers’ One Pot Wonders by Si King and Dave Myers is available now at amazon.co.uk

Are you starting the New Year with good intentions and ambitious resolutions? The classics revolving around exercise, hitting the gym, and leading a healthier lifestyle? Dry January is one of these many pledges, counting almost 4 million sign ups last year.

DISCLAIMER: Supplements to be consumed as part of a healthy and balanced diet. This information is not intended as medical advice or to replace a one-on-one relationship with a qualified healthcare professional.

The real question however is how to achieve your goals throughout the year – being at your best during the day, leading a smashing social life and getting a good night’s sleep too. It is an almost impossible juggling act, and situations arise where there is a clear clash – a big birthday going late into the night followed by an early morning start getting the kids out of the door. Even a civilised glass among friends on a Wednesday can impact performance in the office on Thursday. And the outlook is far gloomier too - one of the largest global studies undertaken to date concluded there is actually no safe level for alcohol consumption (Global Burden of Diseases Study, 2016) - turning the tables on long championed ‘health giving’ benefits of drinking. Whilst there is no way to make drinking alcohol healthy, besides not drinking at all, there are steps that can be taken toward making it less

unhealthy. If you do choose to drink, then a reduction in consumption combined with an appropriate diet is certainly one approach.

Survivor is designed to reduce alcohol’s negative impact on your health

Survivor is a revolutionary dietary supplement designed to reduce alcohol’s negative impact on health and productivity. Developed by a team of medical and food science professionals, Survivor contains a targeted blend of herbal extracts with 16 minerals, vitamins, amino acids and electrolytes. While dehydration, fatigue and blood sugar imbalances contribute to misery the day after drinking, the main criminal is ‘acetaldehyde’ - a chemical produced by your body as it breaks down the alcohol in your system. And acetaldehyde

is nasty stuff, it’s 40 times more toxic than alcohol with crimes including headaches, facial flushing, nausea, vomiting, increased heart rate and elevated blood pressure, as well as being associated with much of the long-term damage associated with alcohol consumption. The quicker you remove acetaldehyde from your body, the less chance it has to cause you harm. Survivor works by accelerating the breakdown of acetaldehyde, by replenishing nutrients depleted through alcohol consumption and improving your quality of sleep. Manufactured in the UK, Survivor is food safe, quality tested by two European laboratories,

allergen and preservative-free, as well as being suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Survivor comes in a handy, easy to use capsule format and is designed to be taken at the same time as consuming alcohol. Using Survivor is simple - whilst drinking, take two tablets for every four drinks and two tablets before bed.

Mollie King The Saturdays star on realising what’s really important in life Interview Lauren Naylor

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF ‘I’ve teamed up with the facial cleansing brand Foreo to help better manage our experiences with social media. Their #boostyourglow campaign shows we’re shockingly critical of what we read – and what we

post – and it’s high time we all championed each other. A lot of content has been filtered and you must remember that! I love a good filter just like the next person, but if I ever use one I’ll keep it as natural as possible.’ DON’T LET SOCIAL MEDIA GET THE BETTER OF YOU ‘In Foreo’s survey a third of women revealed social media had an impact on their confidence. What you need to realise is that people mainly post about their good days, rather than their bad. Try to make a New Year goal to cut down the amount of time you spend on Instagram. I find myself scrolling on my phone for far too long, so that’s another of my goals I’d like to achieve.’

CONFIDENCE IS EVERYTHING ‘If you’re ever having a self-love crisis think how everyone’s unique. When I was young I wanted to be curvier, but as I’ve aged I’ve embraced my shape. We all get hung up over our body, but it’s important to be proud of whatever your shape and size.’ LOOK TO POSITIVE INFLUENCES ‘My mum massively helped with my confidence over the years. I also turn to my Radio 1 co-host, Matt Edmondson, and I get advice from Ruth Langsford, too. Ever since I went on Strictly she’s been nothing but kind. She’s a truly wonderful woman.

NEW YEAR GOALS ARE A GOOD THING TO SET ‘While I wouldn’t place a huge emphasis on a New Year’s resolution, I instead set myself goals for the year to keep me motivated. In the past I’ve created a vision board, putting up pictures of what I’d like to achieve. Before bed, I also write down everything I’m grateful for in a “gratitude list” – so my goal this year is to keep up with that.’

Interview Lauren Naylor

ALWAYS REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE ‘I felt so much working mum guilt when my eldest, Teddy, was born, but he’s now a happy and balanced little man. Since having our second son, Ace, in May I’m focusing on everything I’m trying to achieve with my family for the future. You’re entitled to have a career and be a mum! When it comes to work there’s no time for guilt – just happiness and enjoying the life you have.’

You’re entitled to have a career and be a mum!

LET’S HELP WORKING MOTHERS MORE ‘So much more can be done to support working mothers and ensure companies retain the best talent. I have bright and career-focused female friends that have had children and been forced to consider roles they are overqualified for, simply because of fixed working hours they need flexibility on. It’s a shame, as both company and the individual lose out.’ celebritysecrets.com

DON’T LET OPPORTUNITIES PASS YOU BY ‘You should never allow waiting to become a habit, so take risks and try to live your dreams now! Both my husband and I are of this mindset. We are driven by creating a good life for ourselves and our boys, so we work together to do what’s needed to give us the best chance of that.’

DOWN-TIME IS IMPORTANT, TOO ‘We might be careerfocussed but we know when to switch off. I watch football with the boys; I’m a Chelsea fan, but they support Arsenal! Evenings out with the girls are great, too. Laughing all night with your best friends is vital to your health and well-being.’ I’M EXCITED ABOUT MY LATEST LAUNCH ‘Our new Duals sweet range has been made with dual flavour combinations. Each has one flavour on the outer shell and another in the fruit pectin centre. They are vegan, gluten-free, packed with real fruit juice and are absolutely delicious. I am extremely proud of them!’ Order from a huge range of sweets online by visiting Sarah’s company sweetsinthecity.co.uk

GET AHEAD IN YOUR CAREER BY BELIEVING IN YOURSELF ‘As a busy working mum it’s a juggling act to get everything done, but it’s important to be your number one fan! Any mums looking to set up a business to run from home should do it, in my opinion. If you’ve know it can work then go for it! Life is short and you don’t want to live with regrets.’
