Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe shows off her incredible physique in skintight activewear as she hits the gym after revealing her diet and exercise secrets

Jennifer Metcalfe showed off her incredible physique in a figure-hugging workout set as she hit the gym on Tuesday.

The Hollyoaks star, 42, looked stunning in a cropped black jumper and a pair of brown high waisted leggings.

She completed the look with black trainers as she wore her brunette locks up in a chic messy bun. 

Jennifer also attended The Therapy House Clinic in Lytham as she wrapped up in a brown oversized fur coat.

It comes as the soap star revealed exactly how she maintains her sensational figure.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, she revealed that she loves food with high fat content, claiming that it’s ‘really good for you’ as you get older. 

Jennifer explained: ‘I try to eat high-fat. So if I get a steak, it’ll be ribeye steak. I love the fatty bit.

‘Thighs and wings of chicken, high-fat as you get older, are really good for you.

‘My cholesterol is quite high and there are arguments that it is bad for you, but I quite like it… the fattier the better, it is all natural, I’d rather that than a fillet with loads of peppercorn.’

And when it comes to food cravings, she does not limit herself.

She said: ‘For me, if I have a craving for something… say something spicy, I need to have it, nothing else will do.

‘You’re not tricking me with spicy nuts. I’d rather have two spoonfuls instead of a tray of it. That has always been my thing.’

As for exercise, Jennifer revealed she does weight training and wants to pick yoga back up.

She said: ‘I need to get back into my yoga. I used to do it when I lived in Liverpool about five years ago. 

‘I used to go one or two nights a week, and it is something I have recently said I want to get back into.

‘I do a bit of weight training and you get twinges, but yoga keeps it all… and the mind empty as well! I wouldn’t mind trying that.

‘I did a degree in fitness immediately after my A-Levels, so I am very aware of what works for me and what I need to do.

‘I do workouts at home, that is time for me when nobody is interrupting.

‘I have my Earpods in. People have gym buddies, I am like, “sounds great, but I don’t want to talk to anyone,” my head is enough.

‘I put music on in my ears and smash an hour out. I feel like that is therapy after I have finished it. It’s amazing for your head.’
