Claire Richards from Steps packed on the pounds since leaving the bad and was FAT yes FAT.

In her fitness DVD, entitled 5 Step Fat Attack, Claire shows off a combination of aerobics and toning exercises to help drop the pounds.

As you would expect, Claire shows off her moves to a soundtrack of Steps’ greatest hits.

Among the songs Claire works out to include Tragedy, After The Love Has Gone, Deeper Shade Of Blue and 5,6,7,8.

She explained: ‘After leaving Steps, the regular dance routines and constantly being on the go came to an end and I started to gain weight.
‘I tried all sorts of methods to shape up including fad diets and failed gym memberships.That’s why I got together with my trainer Chris and created the 5 Step Fat Attack.

‘I’m fit and in shape and I want to share how I stepped my way back to fitness.
‘We’ve put together a great workout which enables you to lose weight and have fun.
‘Last year I looked in the mirror and at 15 stones I didn’t recognise myself, it was a far cry from my days in Steps when I was a size 10.
