Speaking about training for the show, Michelle told BBC Radio 1: "I try to be good with health and fitness. I'm not the best. I wouldn't pass an army fitness test." She also revealed that she had to carry a heavy bag on her back, adding: "So it's me, on me! I can carry myself on my back. I have to wear it on my back and I have to walk and run with it on my back.
