Celebrity personal trainer Mark Anthony shapes up stars of the 80’s in the forthcoming series ‘Pop Goes the Band’ (Living, 10pm, starting 23rd February). Mark is available for interviews.

This entertaining new reality series brings viewers a blast from the past by revisiting bands that have made pop history, and propels these idols of yesterday into a bright new future. Some of the biggest and best-loved groups of the last three decades including The Original Bucks Fizz, Dollar, 911, Shakatak, Visage and Cleopatra feature in the show. Having garnered collective record sales of over 30 million between them, they’ve all reached the peak of pop superstardom before facing the inevitable descent from those giddy heights.

Mark Anthony has slimmed down and toned up each band member using his very own 6 Week Body Plan. Mark has helped to sculpt stars such as Jordan and Billie Piper into perfection and has now worked his magic on the 80s stars, transforming Mike Nolan (Bucks Fizz) from an overweight 53 year old to a 2 stone lighter, fit looking super-stud. Cheryl Baker slimmed down by a stone and now looks ten years younger. Other successes were Shelley Preston who lost 1 ½ stone using Mark’s amazing plan and now looks like a FHM superbabe. Shakatak lost 6 stone between them.

Editors Note: Mark Anthony is a Master Trainer and has reshaped a host of celebrity (and non-celebrity) bodies and is the author of the ‘Once a Week Workout’ and presenter of the Once a Week DVD for Men and Women (Warner Home Video). See: www.markanthonyspersonalfitness.com
