Alesha Dixon has unveiled the secret to maintaining those long, toned legs – regular treadmill sessions.

The pop star, who won the 2007 series of Strictly Come Dancing and now acts as a judge on the show, told the Daily Record that home fitness equipment plays a big role in her workout regimen and keeps her in tip-top shape.

She also revealed another, slightly more unusual exercise habit – she listens to her own album when on the treadmill.

"It sounds terrible but when I go on the treadmill I listen to my album. I say to myself 'You can't get off till you've done the whole thing'. I think about the stamina and endurance I'll need when I'm on stage," the 31-year-old star said.

Meanwhile, ahead of filming the new reality show Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi, former Miss World Priyanka Chopra has been told to improve her nutrition and begin a home fitness schedule so she is in the best possible shape.
