Sinitta faced health issues after her weight loss
Speaking to Closer Magazine back in 2025, Sinitta revealed a “family disaster” led to her losing lots of weight, right before lockdown. However, she didn’t go into what the family disaster was.
She explained: “Before lockdown, my weight plummeted. It was after a family disaster. It was extreme. I looked skeletal and people kept asking if I was OK.”
As a result, Sinitta had “a load of fillers” to try to change the way she looked. But when she ultimately put the weight back on things took a turn.
Sinitta commented: “When I gained weight again in lockdown, I looked like a had swallowed a balloon. It was so distorted. I had to have six months of treatment to dissolve the fillers. It was really bad.”
Sinitta’s fitness routine
However, now, Sinitta tries her hardest to maintain a strict fitness regime, wanting to make sure she continues to “feel incredible”.
Along with taking probiotic supplements and drinking herbal tea, Sinitta also takes Vitamin D, and injects a NAD supplement into her thigh every other day. This is supposed to help with metabolism and slows down the ageing process.
She explained: “The needles are tiny. It does sting a bit. But it’s a micro dose. By the time I hit my workout class at 6.30am, I am hydrated and energised.”
Her fitness routine is definitely something that will help her in the South African jungle, as she will face some intense trials.
The stakes are higher than ever this series, as the public don’t get a say in the show until the live final. So, any strong points are a bonus!
