Mike Bushell: Strictly 2019 star undergoes facelift after incredible weight loss


Mike Bushell, 54, made it to the eighth week of Strictly Come Dancing with professional partner Katya Jones this year. During his time on the show, the BBC Breakfast sport reporter’s weight loss was clear to see.

After being voted out of the competition, Mike revealed he had lost more than a stone-and-a-half since strutting his stuff in the competition.

The BBC favourite said shedding the pounds resulted in him wanting to tidy up any “flabby lose skin”.

And the star did just that as he recently underwent a non-surgical lower facelift called Strawberry lift.

“I think it’s just with Strictly and losing weight I wanted to tidy any flabby lose skin,” he told MailOnline. “And I was intrigued by this natural process.”

Strawberry lift says it was designed to “combat cheek definition, lift and tighten the neck and facial jowls”.

“I was intrigued to use the Strawberry Lift and not undergo invasive surgery on my chin line,” Mike said.

“And I wanted to look after my appearance as I approached 54.”

During Strictly’s results show in October, Mike told host Claudia Winkleman about how the rigorous training was impacting his figure.

He spilled: “The hours we’ve put in I have lost about a stone!

“People say I am taller because of my posture and my daughters think Katya has banished the dad dancer from the training room!”

Appearing on It Takes Two after their elimination, Mike was shown a before and after picture by host Rylan Clark-Neal.

With two pictures side-by-side, Mike said: “I have had the most amazing nine or 10 weeks since we started training. I have lost a stone and half.

“I’m a guy in his 50s, I’m mentally sharper, I feel able to deal with pressured situations – thanks to the dance-offs! It has changed me completely and honestly I’m not going to stop dancing.”

Mike will be back on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend as he reunites with Katya in a group dance for the final.

The pair have been in rehearsals this week, with Mike even spending his birthday with the whole gang.

Katya uploaded a picture of the two of them together, where Mike showed off the results of his non-surgical facelift, where she gushed over her celebrity partner.
