Stephanie Davis may have just been dumped on Twitter, but the Hollyoaks actress is feeling great.

And that’s partly down to the fact that she reckons she’s in the best shape of her life.

The 22-year-old went down from 9st to 8st by overhauling her diet and adopting a strict new exercise regime.

Stephanie said: "I used to look like a chubby little polar bear - now I'm the sexiest I have ever been.

"I was determined to get in the best shape of my life for Celebrity Big Brother and went on a complete detox. You are on camera 24/7which is pretty intimidating for any woman.

"I wanted my body to be super-ripped and I am thrilled with the way I look. I cannot wait to jump into the CBB hot tub."

Stephanie, who played Sinead O'Connor in Hollyoaks for six years, would have chocolate buttons and a can of Red Bull at breakfast for a sugar rush and then binge on fast food (McChicken sandwiches from McDonald's) for the rest of the day.

But, when Stephanie left Hollyoaks in the summer, she completely rebuilt her life.

She also has three new tattoos: a giant flower pattern beneath her boobs, three roses on her thighs and 20/10/15 on her wrist (the date of her beloved grandfather Albert Mulvaney's death).

Speaking just before she went into the CBB house, Stephanie said: "I have completely turned my life around. I feel like I have taken my body, turned it inside out, cleaned it up, removed all the fat and then put it all back together as a whole new me."

Stephanie is now working out six days a week - and the McChicken sandwiches have been swapped for grilled chicken (no skin) with quinoa salad.

A key part of her new weight loss regime has been Forza Supplements' Shake It Slim - a meal replacement drink developed for Boots containing 22 vitamins and minerals.

Stephanie said: "I am eating a lot more healthily. I am amazed I didn't put on more weight before because I was living off rubbish. I hated myself living like that.

"I think the adrenalin rush of starring in a soap and being on my feet all day on set kept my weight lower than it should have been.

"I knew I had to change radically and I have done that.

"I have a completely new lifestyle and finally have the time to go to the gym regularly and really enjoy it."

She continued: “Forza's Shake It Slim has really helped to accelerate my weight loss. It gives you all the nutrients you need but at only 204 calories a serving, and it leaves you feeling full. Two or three times a week I would skip lunch and have a Shake It Slim instead. I felt the difference immediately.

"When you are a short as me (5ft 2in) losing the weight can be really tricky and it shows up on your body as soon as you put it on.

"When I put on weight it always went on my face and the top of my thighs and hips. I had a rolling belly of stubborn fat around my midriff which could look really unsightly. Weight gain showed really clearly on my face so I would have unattractive chipmunk cheeks when I put on a few pounds.

"All that is gone now and my face is really lean and I have a pretty well-honed six pack.

"Shake It Slim really helped me to achieve optimum results in record time - and I needed to do that ahead of Celebrity Big Brother."

The weight loss has impacted on Stephanie's bust and she has gone down from a 32D to a 32C.

However this doesn’t seem to bother Steph too much!

Stephanie smiled: "I've gone from having two melons to having two oranges.”

Forza Supplements is Britain's leading diet firm and its new Shake It Slim product has been developed following 18 months of research.
