Pippa's Amazing Body... At 62!

The gorgeous TV star has never been so fit after dropping 5kg with a strict diet and exercise regimen to get in shape for her role in the theatre production of Harry Potter And The Cursed Child.

Debra, 62, famous for playing Pippa Ross on Home And Away and starring in Please Like Me and Neighbours, says while she was always healthy, she’s back to “the body she should be in”.

“All of our bodies are in there,” she laughs, as she prepares to do our swimwear shoot. “When I was a teenager I had a great body, but then I went to drama school and put on lots of weight – and since then I’ve been losing weight, then putting on weight, then losing weight… that whole cycle, which I’m sure everyone identifies with.

“But now it’s not a struggle to stay where I am. My body has come back after all these years and it’s come back to where it’s supposed to be!

I feel really good and really strong.” She pauses, then adds, “Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of loose bits! I had my second child in my 40s so your body protests a bit about that and leaves a bit of a loose tummy behind, but that’s also a mark of achievement, really.”
