White Dee from Benefits Street is to release a fitness DVD after losing three stone in two months.
It seems to be a right of passage for any self respecting reality star these days. Big Brother’s Josie Gibson and Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby have done it, and now the star of Channel 4′s Benefits Street (real name Deirdre Kelly) is cashing in on the trend too.
At least no one can suggest she doesn’t make her own money now. Her manager Barry Tomes predicted she would earn £500,000 in 2015. And last year, White Dee reportedly earned £100,000 for her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.
Her agent, Barry told the Daily Mail: “Dee lost three stone in two months. She has been in the gym regularly since she left Celebrity Big Brother. She is recording and releasing the fitness DVD with Foxy from Free Radio. I think he is part excited and part nervous.
“He has been training in the gym with her recently because he wants to get fit for his wedding. He has lost two stone in two months. So we are writing up a full programme for the workout, so everything from a warm-up to a cool down as you would do at the gym.”
John, who’s a DJ at Birmingham’s Free Radio, will star with Dee in the workout video that is set to be released later this year.
Barry hopes she will crack America and that her weight loss will help her in her quest as they are so “image-conscious in the States.”
On 22 March, it will be a year since White Dee collected benefits.
