Hi Samira. Do you feel body confident?

Yeah. It could be better for the summer, but I’m getting there.

What do you do for exercise?

I try to do three classes a week at BXR in London.

There’s a class called Versa Climber, where you get on this mad machine and they shout “Push” at you. It’s amazing.

I also have a personal trainer who I see as much as I can.

What’s your favourite part of your body?

My legs, because they’re quite muscly. And my least favourite is my stomach area – it’s really hard to tone!

Are you a healthy eater?

Yes. I like junk food, but I’m healthy overall. I’m quite a picky person. I have a lot of fish and meat.

What’s your favourite takeaway?

Chinese – I love duck pancakes.

Have you ever been tempted to go vegan or vegetarian?

I was going to go veggie for a week to see how it goes. I want to try for health and environmen­tal reasons.

Does being in the public eye make you feel pressure to look good?

Probably, but

I’m the kind of person who doesn’t really care about what

I look like.

I’ll get on the tube looking like rubbish. Coming out of the villa there was a lot of pressure, but we’re all human.

What’s your top tip for being healthy?

Try walking instead of taking an Uber. It’s extra calories burnt.
