Ferne McCann is brightening up social media. The Towie and I'm A Celebrity star flaunts her famously fit figure in a patterned swimsuit via her latest Instagram images, reminding her followers to stay true to themselves. “Never dull your shine,” she captioned the post. “My whole life I’ve had ‘she’s too much’ or ‘she’s too loud’ or ‘she’s mad’…no no they are just trying to dim your light! Be yourself always.” How does the reality star keep herself so fit? Read on to see 8 ways Ferne McCann stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Starts the Day with ACV

Ferne starts the day off with a healthy shot. "I wake up and have a shot of symprove mixed with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar followed by my Herbalife thermo tea and morning breakfast,” she told Express UK.

2. She Fuels Up with Protein Post Workout

Ferne emphasizes the importance of refueling your body after exercise with a major dose of protein. "I drop Sunday to nursery and exercise then have a protein shake within half an hour of exercising," she told Express about her after sweat session ritual.

3. She Snacks

Ferne is all about regular snacks. "I have a mid morning snack - this could be anything from a boiled egg, handful of nuts or a banana - then I will have a healthy lunch, such as a salad, wholemeal wrap or a soup,” she told Express. "I have a mid-afternoon protein snack then I will cook dinner which could be anything. I am a proper foodie and love experimenting in the kitchen."

4. She Hydrates

Ferne also understands the importance of hydration, especially when she is very active. "Everyday I try to drink 2.5 litres of water and I aim to do 10,000 steps which I track via my Fitbit,” she told Express.

5. Fitness Is Her Priority

"I make exercise and keeping fit a priority. If I didn’t I wouldn’t do it,” Ferne admitted to Express. "Having something that is flexible around being a parent and work is key, which is why my online fitness and wellbeing platform Embodyment fits perfectly into my busy life. It slots in around your kids as you can do it anywhere, anytime."

6. She Mixes Up Her Wokrouts

Ferne maintains variety with exercise, which prevents her from getting bored. "For me, to keep engaged I have to mix things up, from yoga, going for a walk, a HITT workout or dance workout. Variety is key," she told Express.

7. She Has Cheat Meals and Days

Since Ferne eats healthy most of the time, she explained to the Belfast Telegraph that she allows herself cheat meals. “For me, it’s all about making healthy choices, not starving yourself or denying yourself every day. I try to make healthy choices but it’s not like I cut out carbs or alcohol or Chinese takeaways completely because they are things that I absolutely love. You have to treat yourself or else I think you’d be miserable,” she said. “As long as you’re exercising and making good choices for the majority of the time then why not give yourself some cake if you want it?”

8. She Takes the Weekend Off

Ferne is much more relaxed during the weekends. However, she still makes sure to stay active. “Of course I have Netflix days, but my weekends are very active with walking, playing with Sunday and other tasks. On weekends I read, enjoy myself and don’t go to the gym. I have my daughter to look after so there's no way I can exercise. I think if you stick to your rest days then you won’t fall off the wagon in the week. I do the same with alcohol - I don’t drink unless I’ve got an event in the week, then have a wine at the weekend,” she told Women’s Health.

McCann makes sure to stay motivated when it comes to working out. She shared this photo from the gym on Instagram, and encouraged people to work out in the caption. “I know that there's always that temptation to stay in bed on a weekend, but we can do this,” she writes. “I'm going to set my alarm so I can do a Sunday morning workout - who's with me? If you're working out with me tag me in your Instagram stories & I'll re-post them, we are all in this together.”

2. She Runs

Last May, McCann took part in a road race. She shared these photos from the day on Instagram, and opened up about her experience in the caption. “Ok guys, today was pretty epic,” McCann writes. “Sport is something I’ve always loved growing up. I’ve grown up with the athletics on our TV because of my Mamma. So to meet some sporting legends today was pretty special. But running….running is not my sport. However the @great_run team wanted me and my family to get involved with the Great Manchester Run. And ok, we didn’t do the half marathon but I challenged myself to the 10k. And smashed it in 60 minutes.”

3. She Still Indulges

While McCann doesn’t completely cut food out, she does limit some things, or eats healthier options of others. “The way I do it, it doesn’t really feel like a diet,” she says to the Belfast Telegraph. “I rarely eat bread, although I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have some with my dinner sometimes. I never eat cow’s or goat’s milk, only almond milk, and I don’t have too much sugar in my diet either.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

McCann talked about her exercise to Express. She says that working out is a priority for her. “I make exercise and keeping fit a priority,” she says. “If I didn’t I wouldn’t do it.” She says that she does a variety of things to stay in shape. “For me, to keep engaged I have to mix things up, from yoga, going for a walk, a HITT workout or dance workout. Variety is key.”

Rainford opened up about her career to Wonderland Magazine. She says that the pandemic made her want to go after new opportunities, like auditioning for Nova Jones. “I think with everything that happened, it made me realise that if I enjoy something I should just go ahead and do it,” she says. “I love music and I love making music and being an artist, but acting and drama have also been something that I really enjoyed, so when the opportunity came up to do some self tape auditions and auditions over Zoom, I jumped at the opportunity.”

Rainford opened up about how her mindset has changed in her Wonderland Magazine interview. She says that she is taking things slow when it comes to her career, and is letting things happen on their own pace. “I think the biggest thing I’ve learnt is that everyone’s journey is different. Whether you’re just starting now, or been in it for a while, you shouldn’t rush things.”

3. She Focuses On Herself

Rainford isn’t comparing herself to others and is focusing on herself. “You should really work on yourself and your craft,” she tells Wonderland Magazine. “Just enjoy every moment because it’s so much fun when you get to do something you love. So just take it all in.”

Prior to appearing on Strictly, Rainford talked about her approach to the show in an interview with BBC One. She says that she didn’t want to put too much pressure on herself to be perfect and just enjoy herself on the show. “I can be a perfectionist. So trying not to stress too much about one specific thing, and worry about the overall product. I've heard from others that simplicity is key.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

Rainford loves to spend time by the water. She and her Strictly co-star, Fleur East, decided to take a beach vacation together to Barbados. Rainford shared this photo on Instagram of the two of them by the water. She captioned it, “From the ballroom to the beach.” MedIndia reports that going to the beach can have a positive impact on your mindset and wellbeing. “Listening to the waves crash against the shore calms brain activity, and the color blue offers a sense of relaxation, serenity, and peace, thereby releasing hormones such as dopamine and serotonin to reduce your stress levels. So, make sure to wash away your stress levels at the seaside.”

1. She Drinks Coffee

“While past studies hinted that coffee might have a dark side, newer research suggests that it may actually have health benefits. Why the reversal? It's hard to look at just one aspect of diet and connect it to a health condition because so many other factors that could play a role. For example, early research on coffee didn't always take into account that heavy coffee drinkers also tended to use tobacco and be sedentary,” says the Mayo Clinic. “When newer studies adjusted for such factors, they found a possible association between coffee and decreased mortality. Coffee may offer some protection against:

  • Parkinson's disease
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Liver disease, including liver cancer
  • Heart attack and stroke”

2. She Tries Not to Lose Too Much Weight, After an Obsession With Exercise

“When you have good people around you, mammy as well, she noticed, she said ‘you’ve got too thin' or whatever and I was like ‘yeah, yeah, yeah I know, I’m trying to sort it out,’” she told the MailOnline. She added: “I’m not working out as much as I was, I ended up losing too much weight.” And: “I’m not doing it as much, once, twice a week max, and to be honest I’m just really good with my diet at the moment. It’s all about balance.” And: “I eased off the exercise and upped my calories and stuff. It’s good to have people around you that are not afraid to say these things to you. It’s so important. I’m feeling so much better.”

3. She is Not Afraid of a Few Grey Hairs

“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,'” she told MailOnline. “My hair went grey when I was 18. I'm so used to it now, 18 feels like a long time ago. I don't know why it happened, maybe I'm old on the inside! I just said to mammy "why has this happened? Why do I get the bad genes?" She said to me ‘well it's not from me because I didn't have grey hair at 18!’”

4. She Learned How to Take a Break

After a particularly stressful shoot, “It was Michael Barrymore who gave me the advice” to just chill out and not be go, go, go. “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….I didn’t take all the jobs and I didn’t just think of all the cash,” she told the Independent.

5. She Once Showed Off Her “Food Baby”

After a Christmas meal, Higgins showed a bulging tummy and asked fans if she had a “baby” or “food baby.” For her followers, it was an important admission: that eating is OK. Said some followers: “Thank you so much for showing us this” and “keeping it real for us all.” And: “This made me feel a bit better.

Frazer opened up about life after her divorce in an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle. She says that she is now living life on her own terms. “Now I’m on OnlyFans, I’m single, I’m on the cover of Maxim - it’s the complete opposite. I think it’s the path that I was meant to be on and I’m where I’m meant to be. Every day I wake up and I'm just so happy with my life.”

2. She’s Taking Care Of Her Mental Health

Creed III Sydney PremiereMark Metcalfe/Getty Images

Frazer tells Yahoo Lifestyle that she has started taking care of her mental health. “I still feel like there's a little bit of fine-tuning to do with my mental health, but it's the best it's been since I want to say even before MAFS started filming,” she remarks. “I'm just excited to wake up every day, which I haven’t felt for two years. Obviously the filming process was hard and then what we went through during filming was awful. And then Jackson and I, it was the wrong relationship. So being in a relationship that's not working as well as all this other stuff just really took a toll. So I think getting out of all of it, I made a very conscious choice a few months ago to just stop talking about all the drama and all the bad stuff... Unless I’m asked a direct question, I just don’t interact with it or take the bait or anything like that, and it's just serving me really well.”

3. She Got Surgery

Frazer notably lost a lot of weight in recent years. She revealed on Instagram that she decided to get weight-loss surgery as a way to do so. “Surgery [is] the last thing anybody ever wants to do. It is the last resort. It’s not fun not being able to eat like everybody else, it’s not fun to not be able to drink like everybody else.”

4. She Defends Herself

Frazer has had to defend herself due to being seen as a reality TV villain. She recently clapped back when a photo of her was taken without her consent. “I was spotted applying for a casual job at a makeup store. Absolutely disgusting because a photo was taken of me in my job interview that I did not know was being taken. It’s a huge disgusting invasion of privacy.”

5. She Swims

Frazer spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do to stay in shape is going swimming. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself by the water. Frazer posted this set of photos of herself in Bali. In the first photo, she is seen taking a dip in a pool. She captioned the post, “Bali. And I might like the color green.” Frazer also shared this pool photo, captioning it, “More relaxing times.”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match.

From her plant-based diet to her dedication to animal welfare, Romani’s habits reflect a balanced approach to wellness that keeps her looking and feeling her best.

She Swims

As you can see from her Instagram post, Romani likes to go to the beach. Naturally, she likes to swim to keep herself in shape. Romani shared this video on Instagram of herself taking a dip in a pool. She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 154-pound person who swims slow freestyle laps for 30 minutes burns 255 calories.

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
