               “I’m really natural and pure when
               it comes to my diet. I always think
               it’s about balance and eating
               healthily, and making sure I’m
               getting protein, carbs, fibre and
               drinking plenty of water. I love
               chocolate, but I don’t have it all the
               time.Idon’tridmyselfofit,either,
