Faye Tozer claims Strictly Come Dancing left her “emaciated”

She claims she got too thin while on the TV show

| Updated:

Singer Faye Tozer claims she lost a huge amount of weight while competing on Strictly Come Dancing, saying training for the show show left her “emaciated”.

Speaking to Mirror Online, the Steps star said she put on a “few pounds” after the show finished and she now feels like she’s in the best shape of her life.

However, it seems she feels she was too thin just after the TV series ended.

When ask if she was embracing her new dancer’s body, she replied: “Honestly, I need to book a holiday now, so I can take pictures in a bikini while I still look like this.”

But she also went on to say that it took her a few weeks after the show ended to get back to a figure she was happy with – and suggested she felt underweight.

“Although before Christmas I was a bit emaciated,” she said. “I was just over 9 stone, which isn’t a healthy weight for me.”

She claimed that the weight loss left her looking haggard, but that after putting on a few pounds she was looking and feeling a lot better.

Faye also claimed she was enjoying having something else to be known for.
