Katherine Lynch has revealed she’s lost more weight while taking part on Dancing with the Stars than on Celebrity Operation Transformation.
The comedian took part in the weight loss show last year and shed an impressive 13.5 pounds over the course of four weeks, but now Katherine’s discovered that dancing is a more effective technique for her own weight loss.
Although the Leitrim native started DWTS a dancing novice, she’s now enjoying learning a range of different dances and moving her whole body, which she admits, was alien to her.
“I came to the competition with absolutely no experience whatsoever and this Latin step language is a different world to me.” she told RTÉ.
“It’s great! I think I lived from my neck upwards for most of my life and now I’m using my whole body.
“I’m going to continue learning to dance after this show because it’s so good for the spirit… and for exercise! I’ve lost more weight on this than I did on Celebrity Operation Transformation.”
Katherine also revealed that she’s thoroughly enjoying getting to know the other contestants on DWTS.
“We’re having a great time. Everyone’s bonding… it’s all fun.” she said. “We share the same dance studios, but we’re all in different rooms. You don’t see what the other people are doing but we all chat to each other. Everyone’s allocated a different dance per week so we wouldn’t be in direct competition.”
Watch Katherine showcase her dancing skills on DWTS this Sunday at 6:30PM on RTÉ One.
