LIGHT ON HIS FEET

Strictly Come Dancing’s Rev Richard Coles has shed a stone in weight — all because of his gruelling training schedule

STRICTLY’S Rev Richard Coles has lost a stone in just one month due to his tough training schedule.

The vicar, 55, has been whipped into shape by 28-year-old pro dancer Dianne Buswell, who has also urged him to ditch his diet of cake and pork pies for healthy snacks.

A studio source said: “Richard has lost inches off his waist and the costume department have had to take in several of his outfits. He’s delighted.”

Ex-Communards musician Richard — dancing the Paso Doble tomorrow night — admitted before the series: “I want to lose two-and-a-half stone and not go to A&E. That’s my main ambition.”
