Big Brother star Lateysha Grace is doing a workout DVD for Christmas – and needs to lose TWO stone in two months
BIG Brother star Lateysha Grace has landed a workout DVD deal which will be out in time for the new year – but she needs to lose two stone in two months.
The Welsh beauty is in a race to lose the weight before filming the final part of the DVD just before Christmas and insiders say it’s a challenge because time is so tight.
One insider said: “Lateysha has got this workout DVD deal where she will slim down and show off this amazing body transformation, but it’s really hard work.
“She wants to lose two stone in time for the big reveal – and she’ll need to film in two months if she wants to cash in on the New Year, post-Christmas market.
“She wants it to come out for Christmas, really, so there’s quite a lot of pressure - especially as these DVDs are all about a dramatic weight loss picture on the cover.
“She’s trying to do it all healthily, but it’s a bit of a race. Time is tight.”
Lateysha, who appeared on last year’s Big Brother and shot to fame in MTV’s The Valleys, has recently landed her own reality show.
The show, on MTV, will follow her life as she moves to London as the single mum to one year old Wynter.
“MTV knew they wanted to get her back on telly and had two options: whether to give her a show on her own or bring back The Valleys,” a source said.
“But eventually they decided she was always the star of the show and they wanted to try out a new format with her as the focus.”
The reality babe has always been into fitness – in 2013, she headed to a bootcamp where she lost 7lbs in a week – dropping to 10st 7lb – and 12 inches of body fat.
She originally went because she was getting “disgusting” comments on Twitter after putting on weight while filming The Valleys.
"It is impossible to keep your weight under control on The Valleys. We are drinking all the time and living off takeaways,” she said.
“My weight fluctuates massively - on a bad week, I can put on 5lbs so I have to be very careful.”
Last year, Lateysha endured total humiliation when she split her dress – exposing her bum – on live TV while trying to twerk on Big Brother’s Bit On The Side following her eviction from the Big Brother house.
Friends told The Sun Online that she’d gained 21lbs in the house, and that’s why her dress was so tight.
Shortly afterward, she hired a personal trainer and signed up for TLC’s Celebrity Fat Fighters at the start of his year.
She’s also posted about doing HIIT fitness guide Body Boss Method. But, our insider says, none of them have worked out.
The Valleys star has also spent £4,000 on cosmetic surgery, including three bum lifts.
She said at the time: “I love my new bum but I know that I want more.
“I’ve got plans to get it done again in a couple of months. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
“I’m constantly looking at myself in the mirror and thinking ‘oh, I want this bigger’ or ‘I want my waist smaller’ – I don’t think I’ll ever be happy with my body.
“Next I’m going to have my boobs re-done, I want a nose job, my face re-shaped and my second big toe done because my second one is longer than the rest of my toes but apparently that’s the most painful thing you can get done.”
