Speaking to HELLO!, Davina shared what she would eat on a typical day, adding that she is not "restrictive" when she comes to her diet.

Davina told Get The Gloss that she starts the day with a cup of tea with collagen.

She said: "I have the powdered bovine collagen – you can get marine collagen too by Ancient and Brave."

Davina told HELLO! how she follows this: "I would probably have granola and milk for breakfast. But sometimes, if I'm naughty, I'll do a crumpet."

"I try not to eat until after I am finished [with my workout] so sometimes I might not eat breakfast til ten. I will either have one and a half Warburton’s crumpets (two is too many) with butter."

For her 'big' meal of the day, Davina said: "I try to have my main meal at lunch. So usually something like pasta, or a courgetti, or eggs with something."

Davina added: "If I'm making a tomato sauce, I put a teaspoon in there."

Otherwise, she opts for fish, with vegetables and some carbs as a "good, well-rounded meal".

Speaking on Reddit , Kylie admitted: "My guilty confession is that there isn't [a routine]! In my mind, there is absolutely one. I think I stay in shape with an active lifestyle.

"My fitness is really sporadic. I have to thank my mum for good genes as I am tiny, just like her."

She said: "I went to Chiva Som to do some meditation and that changed my life completely.

"I practice Yoga Nidra which is a guided meditation. It makes me feel so much better.

"Yoga has never worked for me, I’ve never been able to do the downward dog. I like light weights and running. And what I put in my body I find very important.

"I don’t diet, I just eat clean, fresh and healthy not processed foods. It’s important to take the time for yourself, look in the mirror and love yourself. Be the best you can be for the age that you are at."
