Singer Claire Richards of Steps fame has lost a massive 32 kg and is releasing a keep fit DVD in celebration.
The singer piled on the pounds when the pop group split and she stopped dancing. The birth o
f her son Charlie in May 2007 added to her weight woes and she wound up weighing 95 kg, reports contactmusic.com.
She said: "After leaving Steps, the regular dance routines and constantly being on the go came to an end and I started to gain weight."
After seeing pictures of herself in newspapers earlier this year, Claire, 31, decided to tackle the problem and embarked on a keep-fit routine.
With the help of a personal trainer, she has now lost 32 kg and is releasing a DVD called "5 Step Fat Attack", which features aerobic routines set to Steps tracks, including Tragedy, 5, 6, 7, 8 and Deeper Shade Of Blue.
Claire now says she is feeling "fit and in shape" and wants to share how she managed it.
The singer is also working on a new solo album and married her second husband, the father of her son, Reece Hill last month.
