Hannah Waterman, Jessie Wallace and the rest of you we have had our fill of celebrity fitness DVDs

As sure as there are turkey leftovers and adverts for holidays post-December 25, the celebrities are on the bandwagon hawking us their fitness DVDs.
The saviour of the washed up z-lister they pounce just as we are feeling iverstuffed with mince pies and a bit rubbish about ourselves. Yes you look up from your turkey butty to se some ex-soapstar revealing how she went from the size of a small country to a swizzle stick "with this easy workout".

The ads are on constant repeat on the TV, usually accompanied by a rainforest worth of magazines interviews and endless TV appearances.
Without fail the once chubby star has become whippet thin and you can do the same. Women everywhere rush out and line the stars pockets.
Then the backlash begins. The paps start follwing newly skinny star everywhere desperate to catch them with a burger. And more often than not the pounds creep back on.
Well we have had it. If we want to shape up we will do it the sensible way ...EAT LESS MOVE MORE.
And I don't need some ex- soapstar to show me how to do that...
