Melanie Sykes has been through a tough time recently and it has all revolved around her new toy boy.

However, if the constant barrage of abuse and snide remarks weren't enough, the star has also been punishing herself with a vigorous workout regime.

The 41-year-old has been hitting the weights, perhaps in an attempt to maintain her toned physique and keep up with her younger man.

She works out! Melanie Sykes showed how she keeps in shape by tweeting her workout session

The mother-of-two looked amazing as she shared some of her favourite exercises with her near 65,000 followers, yesterday.

Wearing a green vest and a pair of very tight running leggings, the TV presenter pushed herself to the limit as she burned some calories.

With a long metal pole between her legs, the beautiful brunette bent over to pump her biceps and triceps with ease and the results were visible almost instantly.

Next, Melanie took to the floor and revealed just how she is able to have such a toned torso at the age of 41.

Doing an exercise she called the 'Swiss ball crunch', she worked her abs by balancing on her hands with the help of a big silver ball.

The workout didn't end there though, and the model was back on the weights machine doing a high to low row with her triceps muscles again flexing.

After getting physical, Mel still had a smile on her face and she posted a picture on Twitter of the man responsible for her superb body.

Celebrity trainer Jermaine McCubbine sat next to his hard working student munching on a banana while she grinned down the camera.

Mel added the caption: 'Me and the geezer that is @jermainePT post work out!! Not sure why I'm smiling friggin knackered! Xxxx Have a banana!'

Her 26-year-old boyfriend Jack Cockings must be happy with the results after wooing her via twitter, last month.

After being ignored by both Cheryl Cole and Jodie Marsh, Jack turned his attention to Melanie, and she finally agreed to go on a date with him which led to a relationship.

The pair have been exchanging saucy tweets since then and in one of the racy posts Melanie tweeted that she had 'the giddiest knickers of my life' and told Jack: 'I've got the raging horn, please take me'.

In another, smitten Melanie wrote: 'Jack the rabbit I need some bunny love so hop to it!! Xxx boing boing!!! Loooooool xxxxxxx'.
