I lost 3st with my ‘belly blitz' DVD but I'll NEVER take Ozempic – the side effects are horrific, says Charlotte Crosby
CHARLOTTE Crosby says she'd never take Ozempic because of all the horror side effects her friends have had. She famously lost over three stone with her 'belly blitz' DVD, but now, as Charlotte reveals she's finally happy with her body and would never jump on the fat jab bandwagon.

'I know people on it - the whole world's basically on it - and they all feel tired and lethargic. 'It's scary, because you don't know what the long term effects are going to be. I think there will be a lot of people who are going to suffer. Advertisement Read more on Geordie Shore "I'm not a scientist and I'm not a doctor, but what's it going to do to peoples' bodies? 'I'm not willing to take that risk. Each to their own. But I'm worried about what's going to happen in the long term with these jabs, so that's why you won't ever see me on them.' I'm not against surgery at all, if you want to change something about yourself, go for it. But please, don't go to Turkey to do it Charlotte Crosby 35 Charlotte, who has two daughters, Alba, three and six month old Pixi, instead advocates for a regular exercise regime to stay slim. Though she admits she hasn't done much of that since Pixi was born in January. Advertisement Most read in Celebrity 'By using the fat jabs, you're not getting anything like what you would get from exercise,' she explains. 'I lost weight naturally many, many years ago. I've been there. And I'm a big promoter of exercise. Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson gives birth to her third child and tells fans she feels 'so blessed' "I love doing exercise. I personally haven't got back into it yet, because with two children, it's very hard, but I am all for the natural endorphins it releases. "When I'm exercising, I am the best version of myself, so that's how I choose to get my kicks.' Advertisement Despite not attempting much exercise of late, Charlotte insists she's happier than ever in her own skin after a lifetime of battling her weight, which has seen her dress size fluctuate between a 16 and an 8 over the years. Since giving birth for the second time she now feels 'really happy with my body again' and although she doesn't give away what size she is now, she confirms 'I'm not a size zero, I'm a normal girl.' 'I actually love my body more than ever after pregnancy, because my hips have widened and I like that look,' she says. 'I've got more of an hourglass figure purely because of my hips. I love it.'

The issue prompted the government to warn Brits that the standard of medical care in the country can vary, and they confirmed that ' When asked if she'd ever consider going Advertisement 'I would never, ever go to Turkey for any form of surgery,' she says, defiantly. 'I'm not against surgery at all, if you want to change something about yourself, go for it. But please, don't go to Turkey to do it. "I can understand why people want to jump ship because it is so expensive in England but don't opt for a cheaper price, not when it comes to your body. "Pay more. Get the better service. Do your research and stay in England. It'll cost more but you'll be happier with the results.' Advertisement When it comes to setting an example for her daughters, who she shares with fiance Jake Ankers, Charlotte's not necessarily concerned about them being influenced into getting surgery. 'I'm not worried Alba is going to see someone getting a boob job, and think, I want a boob job when she's ten,' she says, but she is concerned about the amount of screentime they have. It's why she's championing the kids Summer Reading Challenge, an incentive to get more children reading books over the summer holidays. 'Reading with Alba is so magical,' Charlotte, who has just written her first fiction novel, gushes. Advertisement 'I want her exposed to as many books as possible. There's too much emphasis on screen these days. "You know one teacher told me how some children when they start school get given a book and they immediately try to swipe the cover. "They don't even know how to turn pages, all they know is how to use an ipad. It's really quite scary.'
