Jenny Powell, 56, reveals secret health battle as she shows off amazing figure in white swimsuit for yoga routine
JENNY Powell has posted a defiant message after revealing secret health issues – vowing ‘bring it on’.
The 56-year-old star shared a video of herself performing yoga in her garden this weekend, showing off her flexibility and strength in a white swimsuit.
As she performs a series of yoga stances, she wrote on the video: “I’m 56 and as a woman from an ethnic background, I’ve had many battles to fight but I’ve never shied away from challenges set before me.
“There will be more to come and I say BRING IT ON.
The video is set to an audio clip of So What singer Pink during an interview with 60 minutes, where she says: “A woman has to slow down, become smaller, take up less space, calm down… No, absolutely not.
“Why? Who says? Why can’t we ride until the wheels fall off?”
But the caption proved to be the most telling, with Jenny worrying fans by admitting she was dealing with a private health battle.
“Bring it on,” she wrote. “Things aren’t always quite how they seem, remember that
“I’ll be honest, with a few health issues that need dealing with in the next few months, the classic ‘it’s crap getting old ‘ had popped into my mind a few times but not for long !
“Looking forward to prioritising my health and healing first and foremost and smashing it for the rest of this year .. Hope you are too”
Fans quickly flocked to the comments to wish Jenny well.
“Yup. Ride until the wheels fail off. And when they do..: f**k it! We lived!” wrote one, adding: “Sending positivity for the challenges you face keeping those wheels on the road x”
“Love the inner strength, honesty and commitment you’re sharing,” noted a second.
“Here’s to working it thro’ and a swift recovery,” wrote a third, while a fourth added. “Wishing you always a positive mindset and good health ”
She has also previously opened up about the secrets to her age-defying figure, ditching fad diets to instead focus on cleaning eating, exercise and well-being.
The radio presenter, who lives in Cheshire, shared her love of her hour-long early morning yoga sessions, describing them as something she “can’t live out.”
