The 72-year-old star has managed to stay in incredible shape during a career spanning six decades, and she has now opened up about her secrets to staying fit and healthy.

Speaking to 'Extra', shared: "[I plank] for two or three minutes every day ... Not just that, but it's a really good thing to do. [And] it's kinda embarrassing but I love Zumba. I know people make fun of it, it's kinda nerdy, but I love it."

The 'Believe' hitmaker is set to be recognised at the Kennedy Centre Honours ceremony - a distinction given to artists who have made extraordinary contributions to culture.

But Cher has admitted there is some pressure involved in meeting expectations after such an illustrious career.

She explained: "I am getting the awards because of who I am and now I have to live up to who I am ... It's like winning an Academy Award.

"It's like people saying, 'Yeah, you did something.' I was praying to get it when Obama was president; I wanted it so bad, but I missed out ... I feel really honoured to receive it and I feel really happy [Donald Trump] won't be there."

Meanwhile, Cher recently revealed she is currently single and "on the lookout" for love, even if her fame and the era of social media makes a romance difficult to navigate.

When asked if she has a partner, she said: "Not ... not this week. I'm still on the lookout.

"The problem I have with all the boyfriends lately is that I don't want to go any place with them because you can't keep a relationship going in this kind of goldfish bowl, where everything you do and every picture you have taken will be on Instagram.

"There's no way to keep something special."
