How Lisa plans to turn back the clock

After Lisa Snowdon posts a wistful throwback bikini selfie from two years ago, friends say the star is determined to change her figure

- By Deborah Fraser

She’s a body S inspiratio­n for legions of women, but Lisa Snowdon has admitted she has her own insecuriti­es and has set herself a goal of regaining her former figure.

Last week, the TV personalit­y and former model posted a bikini selfie taken two years ago on Instagram, writing, “Would love to get back to this. My own personal goal and fitness inspiratio­n”. Days later, she looked happy appearing on TV in a swimsuit, as she presented a segment on ITV1’S This Morning from Mauritius.

FITNESS OVERHAUL

Despite being a champion of body confidence, Lisa, 45, recently admitted, “I don’t want to wobble when I run for the bus. I want my clothes to feel comfortabl­e.”

And friends of the 5ft 8 star – who fluctuates between a size 8 and a size 12 – say that although she feels happy at any size, she’s planning on overhaulin­g her workouts. A source says, “Lisa loves feeling trim and toned and wants to show women that you can get your dream body at any age.”

Talking about her relaxed attitude to dieting, Lisa previously admitted, “If I want to have a flat tummy, I have to eat less sugar and not drink white wine, which I love! But I don’t want to live like a saint – I want to have fun.”

FEELING SETTLED

The source says, “Lisa typically has a berry smoothie for breakfast and a salmon salad for lunch. She’s cutting down on her meat and having smaller portions in the evening. She’s also mixing up her workout routines and does Reformer Pilates most mornings, along with two spinning classes a week, as well as strength training with her personal trainer, which includes squats, lunges and suspension work.”

Meanwhile, Lisa – who had a five-year on/off relationsh­ip with A-lister George Clooney in the early noughties, and was attacked in public in 2014 by then-boyfriend Adereti Monney – finally got her happy ending in 2015, with entreprene­ur George Smart, to whom she got engaged last Christmas. The source adds, “Lisa is head over heels in love and feels everything has finally slotted into place.”
