Alexandra Burke has revealed that Myleene Klass inspired her to start working out and get in shape.
The singer unveiled her new image in a photoshoot for Look magazine since she has embarked on a new fitness regime.
She told the magazine that she started working out in January after seeing photos of Klass on holidays.
She explained: "I saw pictures of Myleene Klass in Barbados over Christmas and I was like: 'Oh my God! How is she looking that good?' So I started doing loads of classes at the gym."
Burke added: "I was a size 10, but now I’m an 8-10 and my arms, legs and bum have lifted. I genuinely feel great now."
The Bad Boys singer also discussed her long distance relationship with Marcus Anthony, saying that it is "very hard".
She said: "We’re still dating exclusively, but long-distance love is very hard. He’s in America and I haven’t seen him for a couple of months because we’re both so busy.
"It’s not easy at all, but the more you dwell on it the more it gets to you. Skype is brilliant, though."
