Sky News host Peta Credlin shows off her incredible gym transformation as she poses in skintight activewear
The Sky News host shared a selfie to Instagram recently that showed her progress in the gym.
The fit 55-year-old posed in skintight activewear including a navy blue tank top and black leggings.
She flexed her ample arm muscles as she snapped a mirror selfie to flaunt her slender, muscular physique, and explained she was working hard before heading off on holiday to Italy.
'Progress update before I go and ruin all the hard work with a daily holiday gelato,' she wrote in her caption.
Peta explained that she has been working out at the Enterprise Fitness gym in Melbourne.
The comments section was inundated with support, with TV host Rebecca Maddern writing, 'I wouldn't mess with you.'
Peta replied: 'Trying to avoid the dreaded "tuck shop" arms of menopause.'
One fan chimed in: 'Well done. Healthy body healthy mind. A force to be reckoned with.'
'I didn't think anyone was allowed guns that big,' joked another while someone else said, 'Great effort. Hope the training is going to help kick Albo around.'
Earlier this year, Peta dressed down a male colleague live on air, accusing him of insulting the intelligence of women.
Credlin grew increasingly exasperated with the network's political editor Andrew Clennell, after he said former Opposition Leader Peter Dutton had to bring in some 'women-friendly policies' in order to pave his way to The Lodge.
'What's a 'women's friendly policy' mate?' a visibly unimpressed Credlin said. 'Do you think we don't care about the economy? We don't care about defence?'
Clennell replied: 'I'm not a woman. But I'm saying if (Dutton) went for that constituency, if he did a couple of things in that area, and I remember Gladys Berejiklian did that sort of thing.'
That comment only made Credlin more incensed.
'You insult our intelligence to think we don't care about these things,' she said.
'Well of course they do, but people vote with the hip pocket - there is a sense amongst women,' Clennell continued before a finger-pointing Credlin interrupted that women 'do not vote with our vaginas'.
'Well, you're the one who's asking me about a gender difference, Peta, I mean, you raised it,' Clennell retorted.
'Well... I'm asking you about what can you read in it, and you're saying that he's got to have women's policies to win women,' Peta responded. 'I find that offensive.'
Credlin was the former chief of staff to Tony Abbott when he was prime minister and minister for women.

Biggest Loser's Bob Harper says Jillian Michaels didn't reach out after heart attack
The Biggest Loser staple Bob Harper has revealed that former co-star Jillian Michaels never reached out after he suffered a massive, near-fatal heart attack. The pair worked together for years on the mega-hit weight-loss reality series after joining its debut 2004 season as part of the original trainers lineup. Harper, 59, remained with the show for its entire 17-season run, taking over as host in 2015, while Michaels, 51, appeared intermittently across 12 seasons. In 2017, a year after the show ended, Harper, then 51, had a 'widowmaker' heart attack that left him clinically dead on the floor of his gym for nine minutes, he told The Guardian in a new interview. Miraculously, a doctor, who was present, performed CPR on him, and he was rushed to the hospital. Reflecting on the serious health scare caused by an undiagnosed genetic issue, Harper admitted it 'f***ed me up.' He recalled struggling mentally during his recovery after realizing he had gone from being a physically fit man in his fifties to 'a person that couldn't walk around a city block.' Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels (pictured in 2013) worked together for 12 seasons of 'The Biggest Loser' (Getty) He remembered many people from The Biggest Loser got in touch after hearing about the medical event — but not Michaels. While he acknowledged that they 'weren't besties,' Harper noted: 'But we were partners on a television show for a very long time.' He said that her silence 'spoke volumes to me,' adding, 'I would not expect Jillian Michaels to do anything other than what she wants to do.' The Independent has contacted Michaels's representative for comment. The Biggest Loser , which aired on NBC from 2004 to 2017 before returning for a 2020 reboot on USA Network, followed obese people as they attempted to lose weight as quickly as possible using only diet and exercise, with the help of celebrity trainers. The person who lost the most weight was awarded a $250,000 cash prize. Bob Harper suffered a near-fatal heart attack in 2017 (Getty Images) A new Netflix documentary, Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser , featuring interviews with past contestants, trainers, and producers, is set to debut Friday, August 15. The three-part feature will lift the curtain on behind-the-scenes moments and how the show came about. 'I had first heard about the making of The Biggest Loser , a show that you only have diet and exercise to work with, and I thought, 'Oh, well, that's interesting,'' Harper recalled in the documentary. Despite the trainer's association with the show and weight loss, he had 'never worked with obese people.' 'I worked with very fit people who were trying to be a size zero or have a six-pack,' he said. 'It was a huge wake-up call for me.' Harper became well-known for aggressively yelling at contestants as they worked out. 'When it comes to The Biggest Loser , always remember we were trying to make an entertaining show that was on prime time network television,' Harper said. 'What's more important for weight loss? We all know it's diet. But that becomes boring television.'

Gluck's famous opera with acrobats? It's surprisingly bloodless
A female aerial artist wearing a striking red dress tumbles down from the ceiling on a rope, symbolising the descent of the ill-fated Eurydice into the underworld. This is how Yaron Lifschitz's modern staging of Gluck's popular 1762 opera Orpheus and Eurydice begins. The show's concept, combining opera with circus, is an intriguing one, but this production from Opera Queensland – with acrobats from the Brisbane-based Circa company – feels misconceived and oddly clinical. The subterranean afterlife into which Eurydice has fallen – having been killed by a snakebite – is visualised by Lifschitz (who also designs) as a place of almost antiseptic, white minimalism. When we meet her bereft lover Orpheus – who follows her into the underworld in an attempt to persuade Hades, king of the dead, to restore his beloved to life – he is seemingly in an asylum, resting on a white table-cum-bed. It looks like something Jasper Conran might have designed for a rehab centre for Hollywood A-listers. As the fine British countertenor Iestyn Davies (playing Orpheus in a white shirt and black business suit) begins to sing of his anguish, his words appear and evaporate in smoke on the wall behind him. It isn't long before Eurydice (sung beautifully by Australian/British soprano Samantha Clarke) is appearing inside a small greenhouse (which, one assumes, is supposed to be a symbol of confinement). As the opera unfolds, Gluck's splendid late-Baroque score and Ranieri de' Calzabigi's libretto are accompanied by a small army of gymnastic artists from Brisbane company Circa. When the chorus of Scottish Opera arrive they are clad in black boiler suits. The difficulty with all of this – from the circus performance to the modish graphics and consciously fashionable design – is that it fails to make the necessary emotional connection either with Gluck's opera or the ancient myth upon which it is based. The greenhouse, in particular, reminds one of the period in the 1990s and early-2000s when every other trendy live art show – usually by students or graduates of Dartington College of Arts – seemed to feature a small glasshouse. The great frustration of the production, which premiered in Brisbane in 2019, is that the tremendous capacities of the performers – from the lead singers, the chorus and the excellent Scottish Chamber Orchestra (under the baton of Laurence Cummings) to the circus artists – are never in doubt. However, as Circa's performers slide on silks in mid-air or turn themselves into a human staircase for Orpheus to climb, the music seems almost to be at the service of the circus work, much as Ravel's Bolero served the British ice skaters Torvill and Dean in the 1980s. When, at the end, Davies's Orpheus writes the words 'The triumph of love' in blood on the wall, it seems like a moment of self-parody, so anodyne and bloodless is Lifschitz's production. Truth to tell, the piece was cheered to the rafters by sections of the audience. Had we been in Vienna in 1913 (the year of Schoenberg's famous 'scandal concert'), I suspect booing might have ensued from those who were unimpressed. Alas, Edinburgh International Festival audiences are not given to such expressions of discontent. Until Aug 16;

Can't get away this summer? Mafia: The Old Country brings the Sicilian countryside to you, with a side of Michael Corleone-style action
Mafia: The Old Country (PlayStation, Xbox, PC, £44.99) Verdict: The Midfather Rating: Remember that bit in The Godfather where Al Pacino runs off to Sicily? It's all hilltop villages, sunbaked vineyards and casual murder. Now imagine That Bit in The Godfather: The Game. Because that is what the latest entry in the Mafia series delivers. After games set in a knockoff version of New York, a knockoff version of Chicago and a knockoff version of New Orleans, it too has returned to the homeland. But these organised criminals don't do copyright violations, so you're not actually playing as The Godfather's Michael Corleone. Instead, you're Enzo, a down-on-his-luck, early-20th-century kid working in a dangerous sulphur mine in the shadow of, yes, a knockoff version of volcanic Mount Etna. Pretty soon, though, he leaves that life behind and falls in with the nicer of the area's two local crime families. From then on, it's rising up the ranks, falling in love with the don's daughter, getting betrayed, the usual. As an evocation of time and place, few games rival Mafia: The Old Country. Its world is so achingly beautiful that you'll want to just wander around, marvelling at the skyscapes and marketplaces. The problem is that you can't. Where previous Mafia games had relatively open worlds, this one — at least in its main story mode — just wants to keep you on the critical path. It's one stealth section or knife fight or shootout after another. And that central gameplay is just... fine, really. Good enough that you'll breeze through The Old Country's cliché-ridden story in about a dozen hours. But not so good that you'll ever return for more. Consider it an offer you can refuse.
