Claire Richards eating disorder. 'Those photos were mortifying': Former Steps star Claire Richards shows off the results of losing five stone... again. One year ago, Claire Richards posed in a purple bikini at size 18 and declared that she would lose all the weight she had regained following the birth of her daughter Daisy three months before - but she would do it safely and in her own time.Now, the former Steps singer has proudly unveiled the results of her hard work over the past 12 months in a new photoshoot.
Claire, 33, has seen her weight go up and down over the years - ballooning from ten stone, to 15, and back to ten again.
In this week's Closer magazine, Claire shows off her weight loss in a blue swimsuit and nude heels.

'I feel like a yummy mummy! I can’t wait to buy a new wardrobe and slip into a few sexy little party dresses,' she tells the magazine.

During last year's shoot, she insisted that she would take her time losing the baby weight.

Claire had previously worked it off after the birth of her son Charlie, three, by releasing a workout DVD.

After she regained those pounds all over again, the mother-of -two said pictures of her at her heaviest spurred her to get back on the wagon.

'Those photos were mortifying,' Claire says of pictures of her tucking into a pastry last year. 'My stomach looked enormous!

'It was a wake-up call. I’d been trying to eat well, and had lost around a stone, but I was still eating rubbish.

'It’s exhausting looking after two young children and I’d often reach for the biscuit tin, just for an energy boost.'

But she managed to kick her bad habits with 'sheer bloody-mindedness and lots of hard work,' she says. 'It’s been a tough slog, but I’m delighted with my sexy curves.'
