My Body Used To Be Like Jello Now It's More Like J-Lo!

GORGEOUS ROXANNE PALLETT HAS always had a great body. But since appearing in the stage musical The Wedding Singer, she says she’s toned up beyond her wildest dreams and she’s never been in such great shape. ‘I have real definition in my stomach and my bum is up where it’s supposed to be,’ she proudly tells Soaplife. ‘I don’t have a jelly belly any more. I put on my underwear and I feel like Jennifer Lopez – and that’s after just two months of doing this show. It’s what doing eight full-on, two-hour performances in five days does for you. It’s like a footballer playing eight top-flight matches a week. I’m a machine! But it’s not just the way I look, it’s the way I feel. I went for a massage the other week and I was told my body felt like an earthquake! I used to be a real couch potato, but I’ve never felt so energised and alive. I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying myself.’ We’re sure you can, ‘Foxy’ Roxy…

Blimey, roxanne, you sound the most upbeat we’ve ever heard you!

This is the most proud I’ve ever felt of a project. I’m totally in love with my job! I love, love, love it and even my very laid-back, non-showbiz mum is impressed! She was in tears when she came to see it. I get to sing, dance and act – often all at the same time.

Who are you playing in the show?
