'Wife Swap' woes for 80s pop star Sinitta

Sinitta has started a "strict detox diet" after putting on 10 pounds while living with Bruce Jones for an episode of Wife Swap.

The 80s pop star and talent show judge was followed by cameras as she moved in with the former Coronation Street actor, who played Les Battersby.

"They are very different people and it wasn't easy for her," a source told the Sunday Mirror. "She told him to get a grip on his drinking. He is just like Les Battersby. He took her down the pub and had her eating fish and chips and drinking Guinness. Now she is on a strict detox diet."

Sinitta tried to improve Bruce's unhealthy lifestyle when it was her turn to take over as head of the household.

"When it came to her turn, out came the juicer and the steamed veg," the insider added.

The episode airs on March 23 at 8pm on Channel 4.
