Valerie Burns, 56, is a fitness instructor from Winchmore Hill, Buckinghamshire. She is married to husband Stuart with four sons aged 30, 27, 26 and 23. She is a size eight. Valerie says:

"I’ll happily wear bikinis on the beach and buy figure-hugging dresses.My shape hasn’t changed since I was in my 20s. I’m a size eight to ten and while I’ve always been active, exercise has been the key to maintaining my body through the decades. I’m committed to a healthy lifestyle, but I still have some cellulite — that’s life."
