Jennifer Metcalfe claims she eats what she wants.

The 'Hollyoaks' actress - who plays sexy Mercedes McQueen in the Chester-based soap - insists she maintains her slender figure by lots of exercise rather than worrying about her diet.

She said: "I don't worry about what I eat but I do one weights programme a week and two cardio sessions. I try and make it as interesting as possible so that it's not a chore. I see a personal trainer once a week and he basically kills me for an hour and makes me do squats and lunges."

Jennifer's co-star Zoe Lister also agrees with her and makes sure she balances out what she eats with regular exercise.

She said: "It's all about balance - if I want pizza, I'll have it but then I'll have salad the next day! I exercise three times a week, but I can't bear traipsing around the gym so I usually do classes like spinning - and it must be good for me, as it almost makes me cry it's so hard! I do yoga classes too and am learning to skydive."
