In a video, Davina McCall wore a weighted vest she said she wears around the house. “You’ll be able to do housework in it,” she said. “You’re gonna feel it!”
Known for her impressive physique, the Masked Singer presenter lost weight in 2018, going from a size 12 to a size 10. At the time, she said: “I’m around 9st 10lbs and I’m in size 10 clothes, which is a size smaller than I was in last year, so it’s great. I’m really, really happy. I don’t want to lose any more weight now, though. This is exactly where I want to be.”
Although Davina attributes her weight loss to a healthy mix of eating well and exercising, her exercise range does include a weighted vest, which you can get for £22 at Argos and £24.95 on eBay. According to a Swedish study, participants who wore a weighted vest for eight hours a day for three weeks all lost weight.

Dr. Bradley Elliott, a senior lecturer in physiology at the University of Westminster, told the Daily Mail: “One of the great things about walking with a weighted vest or bag is that you’re working lots of muscles. So all the muscles in your legs, back, chest, shoulders, abdominals – it’s a multi-muscle effort. You’re using a bit of everything, all the time.
“We know that aerobic style exercise like walking is good for you. We also know that strength training is good for you. I like the combination of both of them together. So it’s not just strength training and it’s not just walking, it’s a bit of both, which I think is brilliant.”
