"I like my food and I want to have a normal life," she told The People. "I am not a slave to how I have to look the time. I want to look good for myself.
"[It] is a lot to do with your own personality and what makes you happy. I have naughty food, that is why I exercise, that's why I want to push myself."
Bleakley went on to declare that she has no complaints about the physique of her footballer fiancé Frank Lampard.
"Frank is so fit, he is a sportsman with a great body," she gushed. "I enjoy keeping him fit, if you see what I mean. We like to keep fit together."
Bleakley this week teamed up with Jack Osbourne to launch Reebok's 'The Sport Of Fitness Has Arrived' campaign in London.
