And now she has urged her legions of followers on social media to alert people to the scam, having been contacted by friends who were almost taken in by it.

Over the last few years the successful County Durham entrepreneur and former Strictly contestant, has documented her running progress and shared tips for quick and easy healthy meals and snacks.

Ms Davies has expressed her anger at the fact that her weight loss, rather than being attributed to her hard work, is being linked to a slimming pill called Nixol.
