Charlotte Church's healthy weight loss... but

Remember Charlotte Church? She made a splash stateside as a young girl singing with an angelic voice. She did classical, later on she did a little pop music, too. Big star in the UK. And now she's really only 24 ... she has two kids ... and a hunky boyfriend, too. Well, getting on with her life, she's got a new TV gig, and in order to look good for the camera, she lost a lot of the baby weight and now looks like this:




And apparently she lost the weight with not much exercise, just portion control, and oh yeah, one more thing -- cigarettes.

She smokes. Don't know how that does for the voice, but cigarettes are a decent appetite suppressant, as every ex-smoker who has gained 20 pounds when they tried to quit can tell you.

There's more about that in this article:

Hello boyos!
Smokin’ hot and 3st lighter, Charlotte Church on her diet secrets (chips allowed) and those cheating rumours...

And here's what it says about the smokes:

Her body may never have looked more toned and trim, but as the aforementioned fags and fizzy drinks prove, an entirely virtuous lifestyle isn't standard for Charlotte just yet. She gave up smoking during both pregnancies, but now she's back on the ciggies, much to Gavin's dismay. "It was when I started going out," she grimaces. "I'm definitely going to give up again."

Gavin is Gavin Henson, the rugby-playing father of her two kids. Rugby players are doing OK with the babes, I think (thinking Danny Cipriani with Kelly Brook here).

So anyway, yes, she's not heavy and she looks pretty amazing compared to the cherubic (you know what that means) young lady with the superb voice. But if cigarettes helped her lose it -- it wasn't exactly the healthiest way to lose the weight.

Now, on a slightly better note, Gavin appears to like his girl, whatever shape she's in, as these mildly hot, somewhat romantic shots show; I like the untying sequence.
