THE secret behind Holly Willoughby's incredible weight loss has finally been revealed.
Over the past few weeks, the mum-of-three has become a talking point among This Morning fans, who've been desperate to know how Holly achieved her new svelte figure.
Now, The Sun Online can now reveal how size 12 Holly embarked on Pilates which has assisted her toned physique.

Exercises used by Lynne include assisted curl ups with the help of a pillow and large towel, a movement which focuses on alignment, lengthening the spine and connecting the deep abdominal muscles.
Fitness author Lynne revealed she also encouraged her celebrity clients to complete arm raise movements holding a towel high in the air, as well as a "rec check" to make sure she was pulling her core muscles in tightly.
Holly has always refused to comment on her healthy eating or fitness secrets for fear of sparking 'eating disorders' amongst her fans.
Last year she explained: “I don’t want to encourage eating disorders. I try not to focus too much on my appearance.

And busy mum Holly isn't Lynne's only fan.
Popstar Paloma Faith has also Tweeted her appreciation for the post pregnancy classes after giving birth in December and wrote: "Thank you so much to @bodycontrol for helping me knit those abs back together!xxx"
