1. She Does Exercises Correctly

Bridge shared some of her diet and exercise secrets with Cosmopolitan. She says that she worked with a trainer to not only help her get in shape, but to also help her learn how to do things correctly. "When I first started working out with my new trainer, he was like ‘show me how you do a squat’, so I did, and he said ‘yeah, that’s not gonna do anything’. I think it’s important to learn how to do things properly. I’ve been doing squats and all sorts with a trainer before, and I’ve never realised that I’ve been doing them wrong. I could’ve done 100 squats the wrong way and been like ‘yeah, it aches a bit’. Where as I can do five with this trainer and be in agony. I would say to learn how to do the moves properly, it makes a big difference."

2. She Eats Healthy

Bridge makes sure to eat healthy, and shared some of her favorite meals with Cosmopolitan. "I’m quite a boring eater. I go through phases. I’ve got an obsession with granola and yoghurt with raspberries and blueberries so I’ll have that in the morning with a cup of tea. For lunch, I’ll have salad with tuna, and then for dinner I’ll have brown rice and quinoa and some sort of fish or meat, and some kale. I’m obsessed with kale."

3. She Weight Trains

One thing Bridge does to stay in shape is weight train. “Up until the new year, I was doing pilates and boxing throughout the week, whereas now I’ve started weight training,” she told Cosmopolitan. “A lot of people I knew did it and I’ve heard a lot about it burning fat and being good for toning, so I’ve started doing that with a new trainer. I really like it. My bum and my legs just weren’t changing before I started weight training, but now I have noticed a difference [from squatting with free weights] quite quickly."

4. She Indulges Once In A While

While Bridge eats healthy, she also doesn’t like to restrict herself too much. "I try to stick to having a ‘cheat day’,” she told Cosmopolitan. I believe in them. I don’t think you should restrict yourself completely. It’s hard at social stuff, but that’s where you have to be flexible. Don’t set yourself a specific cheat day if your plans for the week don’t fit in with it. If you know you’re going out for dinner one night, that can be your cheat evening, and then try and be good the rest of the week."

5. She Loves Hot Yoga

Bridge revealed to Women’s Health that she and her husband like to do hot yoga together. "I mean it's hard work - and so sweaty it’s unreal - but it's also calm. I couldn't just sit there and meditate all morning - that's not really my thing. It's not good for me to give my brain too much space to think."

After Love Island, Higgins had a lot of opportunities. However, she tells The Independent that she learned that she had to take a break. “It was Michael Barrymore who gave me the advice. I was training for Dancing On Ice and he is a really, really lovely man. He knew by me that I was going through a bit of a time of it. I remember him saying to me, ‘You need to take a break because if these brands and everyone really do want you then they will wait for you.’ So I took his advice and it’s the best thing I ever did. And I would give the same advice to all the new Love Islanders.”

2. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Higgins tells The Independent that she has become a lot more comfortable with herself. “I am finally content. I am finally back to myself. Actually Mammy said it to me. It was about a year after Love Island, and I remember we had a FaceTime call, which we do every single day, and she started crying. And I said, ‘What’s happening? What’s wrong?’ And she said, ‘This is the first time I’ve seen you back to yourself.’”

5. She’s Honest

Higgins wants to be an inspiration for young girls. She tells the DailyMail that she doesn’t want to hide parts of herself and be authentic. “I put on Instagram a picture of my grey hairs and honestly the amount of messages I got from younger girls, girls in their early 20s saying ‘oh my God, thank you so much for this, I've never shown anyone my grey hair, I keep it a secret but now I feel like I'm going to embrace it and not be afraid.’”

1. She Got Support

In an episode of her podcast, Bedford opened up about what it was like coming home after Love Island and having her grandmother die. She says that she struggled with the emotions, and turned to fellow contestant, Ellie Brown, for support. “Coming off, there was the added pressures of Love Island, then the pressure of everything at home, so I went into a really dark place. Like, December, January, I was really sad. Nobody knew this, this weren’t in the press, this has never even been spoken about. My family knew, my friends knew, and that was it. So, coming off the show, at first I did regret it. I was like, ‘What have I done?’ Another thing was, if I hadn’t gone on the show I would have gotten to say goodbye. So many things were going through my head, I was like, ‘What have I done? I’ve ruined my own life. I weren’t there to say goodbye to my grandma’. It was a really difficult thing to deal with, but then come February, I met Ellie and Ellie was like, ‘I went through the same thing a few years ago’ and you start realising it’s normal.

2. She’s Grateful

In her podcast, Bedford revealed that she has new-found gratitude for her time on Love Island. "I wouldn't even go to the shop. Not saying I'm this massive famous person, but I was struggling. But I've gone on to have literally the best year of my life. We've had an absolute ball. Now I can really look back on the show and say 'thank you for doing that' and I don't regret it. It was the best thing that could have ever happened to me and my family."

Regardless of your health and fitness goals, strapping on a pair of skis or a snowboard is sure to fulfill some of them. Due to the versatility of skiing and snowboarding, it can encompass the benefits of a cardio workout, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, and strength training session, all in one fun activity.”

“Leg day… 80kg.. this is the girl who couldn’t do a push-up a month ago,” she wrote once on an Instagram post. “There are many reasons for keeping the legs strong including reducing fall risk, improving metabolism, and getting out of a chair with more ease. Additionally, according to a British study done on twins, published in 2015, there is also a link between brain health and leg strength,” says the Mayo Clinic.

“Honesty. I love it when my friends can tell me, ‘Leigh-Anne, you're being a little bit of a diva, just slow your row.’ I love that. A friend that is there for me, I feel like that's so important. I'm very lucky to have the same group of friends that I had in school, and I'm still super close with them. I feel like I wouldn't be able to navigate the world without them. They're everything. Also my sisters in Little Mix, they're not even friends, they are sisters. They are my family.”

Pinnock shared some photos of her babies, too. “[Motherhood] has been the most incredible journey I've ever been on. I am just so in awe of them. And I feel like the luckiest person every day to wake up and see their smile and... I'm going to get emotional...” she told Glamour UK, welling up.

Francesca loves to strike a pose. "Recently I've been doing yoga which I never liked in the past,” she told Heatworld. “I've always done quite high-intensity things such as running, HIT training or boxing, but since lockdown and with me being home a lot, I've been doing yoga before bed and it just makes me sleep a lot easier. A lot of the time, when I lie in bed, I can just be thinking of loads of things I need to do tomorrow and doing yoga before bed really helps.”

In an Instagram post revealing she had lost almost 30 pounds, Francesca admitted that she had to look inside to change her outsides, which was spawned by online abuse: ‘It was mad. But I’m back with a bang. I had to look inside,” she said in an Instagram Story. “My personality was getting commented on and abused but there’s only so much a girl can take. Like even me doing my accents that was wrong…”

In the same video, dubbed “This glow is coming from the inside,” Francesca addressed claims that she was editing her photos. “I’ve had a couple of people messaging me about my weight and saying I edit it my photo. I’m like – hun – I’ve actually lost nearly 2st…So I am gonna look a bit different. I’d love to know how you’re supposed to edit it your face or your body or any of those things in a video,” she pointed out. “I feel like enlightened – which is the worst possible news I can use right now – I’m strong in myself and I have that strength in my body that I used to have like over two years ago. I just had lost love for training, I’d lost love myself”’

5. She Trains 3 to 4 Times a Week

“I love training. It’s my hobby,” she told New UK, revealing that she hits the gym three to four times a week. “I mostly do boxing and weights, and I love to run. It’s amazing to put your earphones in and go for nice, long runs, especially in the forest.
