TV star Stacey Dooley wanted to be a bronzed, busty blonde – rather than a “pale, flat-chested ginger” when she was younger.
The 33-year-old, who won Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 with Kevin Clifton – her now partner – said, however, she had now ‘learnt to love’ her red hair.
Speaking last week, when asked if she always loved her red hair, she said: “When you’re younger, you want to look identical to your pals.
“I was so pale too, with red hair and a flat chest, and I used to think, ‘I want blonde hair, tanned skin and big boobs!’
“But you can’t help but stand out when you have red hair and I’ve learnt to love it.”
Asked about her training regime on Strictly, she said she trained 14 hours-a-day and had ‘muscles everywhere’ – but that she had let it slip recently, and how had a ‘lockdown gut’.
She told Notebook magazine: “I was training 14 hours a day. I was so fit. I had muscles everywhere. When I got in the bath I was like ‘I’m like a sculpture!’
“That has all gone now. I’ve got a lockdown gut. Everybody else has run 10k every morning, I’ve not even done 1k.
“I deserve this gut because all I’ve done is walk to the fridge and order takeaway food.”
Speaking in July, Stacey admitted wolfing down 2,000 sticks of Peperami after bosses at the snack firm sent her a huge load after she tweeted a photo of her with the meat treat.
She said: “I sent a tweet about a certain sausage snack in a green wrapper – I’m mad on them, eating them all the time.
“I tweeted a picture (of a Peperami) and they sent me 2,000 of them.”
Asked if she ate them all, she joked: “Yeh, in a couple of days!”
