Mariah Carey claims she has lost an amazing FIVE STONE since the birth of her twins Monroe and Moroccan six months ago.
The 42-year-old star revealed her trim new figure on an appearance on Rosie O'Donnell's The Rosie Show.
In typical diva fashion, Mariah was lowered on to the set reclining on a crescent moon showing off her legs and cleavage in a tight micro-mini and a low-cut black leather jacket.
She says her weight loss of over 70lbs included a 40lbs water loss due to her difficult pregnancy: "In the beginning, when I first had the babies, I had so much edema ... water and swelling. Most pregnant woman have that just in their feet, one day I was doing my thank-you notes and I noticed it started rising up the leg, so I had edema. ... I didn't think I would ever be the same person."
Mariah went on to explain that she used the Jenny Craig (now just known as Jenny) weight-loss programme to fight the flab, and is now a spokesperson for them... quelle surprise...
