Do four sets.

21 of 24Those Daisy Dukes won't wear themselves so to get pin-perfect like Jess, you need to work the lower body at least twice a week. Target the backs of legs with hamstring curls, then hit the front of thighs with lunges—both walking and skater. For the latter, cross the right leg behind the left as you lower into a half squat. Step out with the right foot to do the other side. Do four sets of 20.

The mum-of-four was brought up by four sets of foster parents amid a complicated upbringing.
In 2012, she revealed details to The Guardian, explaining, "My mum had an affair and got pregnant with me. After coming to see me when I was six weeks old, my birth father went back home to his wife and kids.
"When I was born, Mum was seeing another guy, who I used to call Dad. His dad was my "grandad".
"Then my mum left him for his dad. So the man I called Dad became my brother and the man I called Grandad, who was 30 years older than my mum, became my dad. They got married – the most stable period of my childhood.
"Then my mum left him for a woman."

Kerry later hired a private investigator to track down her biological father and was handed a photo of him, but decided not to meet him.
She revealed, "I didn't want to knock on his door and say to his wife: 'Hey, your husband had an affair. And guess what? His daughter's Kerry Katona.'
"That's a kick in the teeth innit? But he died a few weeks after I got that photo, and now he's gone I regret not meeting him.
"Especially when I found I had half-brothers and sisters and his widow said, 'If you'd knocked on our door 10 years ago, we'd have welcomed you with open arms.' That's a void that will never be filled."
