Ricki-Lee Coulter has revealed that she feels great having lost a lot of weight.

The Australian singer and presenter, who has lost more than 15kg in the past 18 months with the help of her personal trainer and boyfriend Richard Harrison, said that she has exercised hard and eaten a healthy, protein based diet.

Coulter told the Herald Sun: "It's like putting petrol in your car, [good food] gets me started every day. It just switches me on."

Speaking at the re-opening of Tiffany & Co in Melbourne yesterday, she added: "I'm getting so many lovely beautiful emails and Twitter and Facebook messages about [my figure] from people, and it's really lovely."

Coulter also said that she thinks her fans will be "really surprised" when they find out what her next project is. The star was rumoured to be in talks for a role on revived TV show Young Talent Time, but a Channel Ten spokeswoman has denied the reports.

Earlier this year, the former Australian Idol contestant said of her weight loss: "I feel amazing all the time now and it's a nice feeling. In life, we all have ups and downs, but it is about being consistent. If you want results in anything, you have to work hard at it over a long period."
