Speaking to New Idea exclusively, House Rules’ Sean and Ella reveal they lost a whole lot of weight while taking part in the home renovations show.
‘We were doing a lot of physical work with the demo and a lot of lifting, but it’s different from what we’re used to,’ said Ella.
While they dropped some weight on the show, the cute couple wasn’t quite as perfect as they seem.
‘Obviously healthy eating goes out of the window with the late nights and eating a lot of junk food,’ Ella admits.
‘We’re pretty good at our diet most of the time, so we really tried to eat healthy when we could – but that just wasn’t always possible!’
When most reality-show contestants finish filming, late-night takeaway dinners and no time for exercise means they’ve packed on a few pounds.
But for engaged Tassie couple Sean and Ella, House Rules turned out to be an accidental boot camp! ‘We both actually lost a bit of weight,’ a surprised Ella says.
‘I think it was mostly the stress and running furniture from the shipping container to the house.’
