Kara Tointon Says She Can Eat Whatever She Likes!

Kara Tointon has said that constantly dancing means she's able to "like an elephant".

The ex-Eastenders star, who was crowned Strictly Come Dancing champion back in December 2010, said that she doesn't want to stop dancing because her metabolism is great now:

"I'll be devastated if I stop dancing, because it’s a great way to stay in shape and I can eat anything I want."

Apparently Kara is even eating more then her boyfriend Artem Chigvinstev is eating, at least according to her sister, Inbetweeners actress Hannah. Kara said:

"Hannah noticed I’ve been eating more and said: 'You know you don’t have to eat everything Artem eats?’ I heard that a whole night of intense dancing can burn 10,000 calories, so I’ve been eating like an elephant."

Kara Tointon Still Happy With Artem!

Still in love <3

It seems like this relationship may be on the right path!

Strictly Come Dancing winner Kara Tointon has revealed that she knew that boyfriend Artem Chigvintsev was special from the moment they met (awwwh).

The former EastEnders actress won the dancing show in 2010 and soon after announced that she and Artem (her dancing partner) were officially a couple! Now she tells Hello magazine that she knew he was right for her straight away:

"I knew pretty quick that I'd met someone special.We were getting to know each other and I thought, 'God, I really like him'.

Kara also said that her family love her new boyfriend, and they all spent alot of time together over Christmas:

"It has been my dream to meet someone that my family would love as much as I did."

Maybe the secret to a good relationship is becoming dance partners? Black Swan co-stars Natalie Portman and Benjiman Millipied recently admitted they "fell in love dancing" and now they're engaged!
