CAZ: DIET CHANCES ARE SLIM

‘I’ve only lost one pound!’

CAROLINE Quentin is “stunned” she has not lost more weight since joining Strictly.

Contestants often shed the pounds super-quickly because training sessions are so tough.

But the actress, 60, said: “I have been on this show for five weeks and I’ve only lost a pound and a half. I’m actually stunned.

“I really am quite surprised because I’m moving about from dawn until dusk, so doing Strictly hasn’t really changed me physically that much.

“I’m a bit stronger, but all the rumours of me losing four stone are absolutely untrue.”

Rival Ranvir Singh, 43, has already dropped two dress sizes while on the show.

Keeping her curves means Caroline, who is partnered by pro dancer Johannes Radebe, has to be careful to avoid wardrobe malfunctions.

The star is terrified her big boobs will pop out during one of her routines. She said: “It’s always slightly unnerving with the size of my chest what is going to happen, but so far, so good.

“Everything is under lock and key.

“It’s all safely gaffered in – I really love my costumes.”

Caroline is a favourite with millions of fans after her roles in TV classics Men Behaving

Badly and Jonathan Creek. But she is hoping her stint on Strictly will help her carve out a new career.

She said: “It’s very exciting to be 60 and still thinking that you haven’t covered everything you want to.

“I’m up for anything. I am hoping Strictly will open doors for me in a different area of life.”
