Corrie star Kate Ford has revealed that she used magnets to help her slim down and tone up after her pregnancy.

In an interview with the News of the World, Kate explained that after giving birth to her son Otis in 2008, she struggled to lose the baby weight and tried various methods of weight loss.

She explained, “I put on four stone while pregnant with Otis.

“After the birth, I used Magnaslim, a magnet worn on my wrist’s acupuncture point.

“That stopped me anxiety eating, curbed cravings and helped me drop two stone in a few months.”

Guess she just had to avoid standing near her fridge door…
