“It’s quite funny because he’s been doing his own make-up and dressing himself instead of having a stylist, so he’s not even looking his best.”

At 49, Dee is 18 years younger than Hilary. A personal trainer, she claims to have trained many celebrities over the years.

In the early 2000s she even helped design the workouts featured in many celebrity workout DVDs.

These included the likes of Natalie Cassidy, Letitia Dean and Charlie Brooks.

Speaking on Wednesday’s GMB, he said:” It’s important to be able to switch off, to distract yourself – exercise is really important because that helps you to get to sleep and sleep well.

“Napping during the day is a no no. If you nap during the day it will definitely impinge on your quality of sleep in the night.

“If you feel a bit sleepy in the afternoon, usually after lunch, keep yourself busy – maybe do your exercise then.”
