What a transformation! Jennifer Ellison stunned as she arrived for a club opening in Liverpool last night looking virtually unrecognisable after shedding an incredible five stone from when she was at her heaviest


It can be difficult for celebrities to compete with each other when it comes to the flurry of fitness DVD releases over Christmas.

But Jennifer Ellison last night gave herself a head start as she arrived for the opening of a new nightclub in Liverpool looking incredible in a figure-hugging white Hervé Léger bandage dress.

The 28-year-old actress was virtually unrecognisable compared to photographs of her at her heaviest, and looked understandably thrilled with her sleek new look.


Jennifer teamed her dress with a pair of studded nude peep-toe heels as she and husband Robbie attended the launch of new nightspot PlayGround in the city centre.

The 5ft 7 star, who gave birth to son Bobby in February 2010, previously admitted ballooning from a size 8 to 18 during her pregnancy and said she struggled to lose the weight afterwards.

She lost some weight last year after enrolling at boot camp in preparation for her nude scenes in the touring production of Calendar Girls.

Reflecting on her weight gain, she said: 'I got huge. I looked like a hippo.

'I had absolutely no idea how I had ballooned during my pregnancy. All I thought about was eating plenty of food to keep my baby healthy.

'I was pregnant at the same time as Coleen Rooney and Denise Van Outen. Denise seemed to snap straight back into her normal clothes and I remember looking at Coleen and thinking I was always much tinier than her and now she was smaller than me.'

Earlier this month, Jennifer proudly uploaded a sneak peek of what fans can expect from her forthcoming fitness DVD, which goes on sale on Boxing Day.

Her new slim frame came after she lost five stone and dropped five dress sizes through over-hauling her diet and fitness regime.

As she filmed an advert for her Fat Blaster Workout, Jennifer displayed just how much weight she has lost as she uploaded a photo on her Twitter page.

Alongside the caption: 'Shooting my fitness DVD commercial! Here's a sneaky pic!', the mother-of-one looked super svelte and toned in a sports bra and hotpants.

The latest image showed the Hell's Kitchen winner look even slimmer than her official DVD cover shoot, which she posted online just two weeks ago.

When she uploaded it last month, she revealed she had lost another stone - taking her to a total weightloss of five stone since giving birth to son Bobby in February 2010.

She enthused: 'Hey guys!! I've lost another stone! Here's a totally untouched pic from my new fitness DVD available to pre-order now.'

The new DVD, which is co-presented by celebrity personal trainer Elia Siaperas, sees Ellison go through a five step workout, including Fat Blaster, Tone Blaster, Box Blaster, Power Blaster and Belly Blaster.
