longer off, but it was already being planned out,” she said. She continued: “I was filming six different locations over seven weeks and I walked off my baby weight. “You’re working hard on

those shoots, on your feet for 10 hours a day and covering miles. I think on one day we did about 25,000 steps.” But when she isn’t hiking long distances, Julia revealed the school run has

helped her keep active and she uses a tracker to ensure she hits 10,000 steps a day. She confessed: “The other night it was about 11pm and I’d done 9,800 steps, so I ran up and down the

stairs to get something, just so I’d hear the ‘ding’ to tell me I’d done my 10,000!” The television presenter - who also has a five-year-old son with partner Gerard Cunningham - admitted

her favourite chocolate biscuit. _READ JULIA BRADBURY'S FULL INTERVIEW IN THE LATEST ISSUE OF FIT & WELL MAGAZINE._
