She’s the Australian singer-songwriter who has worked hard for her sensational hourglass physique.

And on Sunday, Ricki-Lee Coulter admitted that she is ‘bothered’ people pay so much attention to her figure.

Speaking to Body+Soul, the 34-year-old singer said: ‘I’m still the same person if I wear different clothes or have a different hair colour, or my jeans are a different size.’

Ricki-Lee continued: ‘It bothered me that people cared so much about what I weighed or what size I was.’

The Last Singer went on to tell the publication that growing up, she had always considered herself as a confident woman.

‘I grew up with women who were like that, who embraced their bodies, loved who they were and loved what they looked like’ she said, explaining it was easy to follow in their footsteps.

The singer previously confessed she doesn’t believe in dieting, claiming it was more about making changes to her lifestyle.

‘So many people go on a diet – but for me it’s a complete lifestyle change and it’s forever… You have to flick a switch and make a positive change in your life,’ she said.

Having shed a whopping 30 kilograms over seven years, Ricki-Lee revealed the secrets behind her weight loss in an interview with WHO magazine.  

‘I work out five to six days a week, I love running and working out at the gym,’ she told the publication.

‘Running makes me feel on top of the world and doing weights makes me feel strong,’ the New-Zealand born singer added.

Ricki-Lee first shot to fame in 2004 after she appeared on the second season of Australian Idol, placing seventh in the competition.
