Strictly Come Dancing contestants have been put on an energy-boosting diet after losing a total of five stone during their time on the show.
Producers are worried about the celebrities taking part in the contest, who have complained that they feel exhausted in rehearsals.
"The weight has been rolling off them," a source told The People. "Routines like the Quick-step and Jive burn up to 600 calories an hour."
Chef James Martin has dropped from 15st to 13.5st, Darren Gough has lost 11lbs, Bill Turnbull 9lbs and Dennis Taylor 6lbs. Fiona Phillips, who was eliminated last night, Will Thorp, Zoe Ball and Patsy Palmer have lost 4lbs and Colin Jackson has dropped 2lbs.
"I've felt absolutely shattered," Will explained. "I knew I'd lost weight when my trousers didn't fit any more."
