So queen of the abs Davina McCall has another fitness DVD out. Yep, aside from the Million Pound Drop and those irritating Garnier Nutrisse adverts, she’s a bit of fitness legend. Since 2005 she’s been donning the Lycra and helping us porkies shed the unwanted pounds.

Unlike other celebs who are filmed squatting and sweating, Davina has always been trim and hasn’t undergone a miraculous transformation from sausage roll muncher to bikini-bod. Yet there’s nothing too sexy and off-putting about Davina. For me she lost any sex appeal she might have had when she shouted her way through series upon series of Big Brother. As I’m suffering from a lack of confidence about my body (get your violins out), this makes me feel better about watching Miss Size 8 pull off move after move I can barely manage.

7MinuteFit features ten (surprisingly enough) 7-minute workouts from Davina and personal trainer Ed Lumsden - and ladies, this is where the Sexy comes in.

I must admit I was a little dubious about the effectiveness of 7-minute workouts. I can’t pretend to be an expert in the dark art of exercise, but even I know that you need to put a bit of effort in. It takes me longer than 7 minutes to perfect a Rustlers burger so how does one lose the love handles in that time?!… Yet oh my days, your feel every single millisecond of Davina and Ed’s workouts. Simply put, they hurt. Luckily the complicated stuff has been done for you. Ed has popped together an easy-to-follow format that means each 7 minutes you need only perfect 3 exercises. You don’t need any fancy additional equipment (just a couple of baked bean cans as weights), and you won’t need a living room the size of the Blackpool Tower Ballroom to crack on either - just sweep aside the Lego and you’re good to go! In terms of how effective it is - I’m yet to manage a whole 7 minutes still fancying Ed. I’m still his when I slip into my sports bra and leggings, and still his when I whack on the DVD… but as soon as he opens his mouth and the punishment begins, I see those muscles in a whole new light. He’s a taskmaster.

I’ve definitely become more toned but the weight loss has been minimal. Unfortunately, after 3 sessions with Davina I had to take an unexpected break from #OpBabyWeight due to a “health issue” (not related to her of course). But when I get the all clear and stop wallowing, I’ll be watching Davina and Ed a little more regularly. That’s when I can wrestle a little television time away from Master of the Remote (Dexter) who reliably informs me that he only likes leotards on the Zingzillas… #MummyProblems
