Shannon Noll reveals the moment he knew he had to change something about his life and started hitting the gym: ‘I couldn’t have that’

Shannon Noll talked about the moment she decided to transform her lifestyle and physical appearance.

The Australian singer, 47, told Nova 96.9’s Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie on Friday that he started going to the gym after “getting fat and losing weight.”

“I’ve been back in the gym for eighteen months,” he said.

Host Ryan Fitzgerald asked: Was there a catalyst for that Shannon? Was there a moment when you said “you know I’m not happy with the way I live my life and I need to change”?

‘Yeah, I started getting fat-skinny, mate, because I’m skinny by nature anyway, I have skinny legs. “If I don’t work out and drink, you’ll end up looking like ET,” Shannon said.

“You have a beer gut,” Fitzy responded.

Shannon agreed, adding, “Yeah, that’s right… I couldn’t allow it, so I thought I had to get back to the gym.” I train very hard and try to watch what I eat when I train.’

It comes after Shannon and Cosima De Vito recently addressed rumors that they were embroiled in a feud following their seasons on Australian Idol.

The singers rose to fame in the first series of the talent show in 2003, making it to the final three alongside Guy Sebastian, who was eventually crowned the winner.

Cosima came third after being forced to leave the competition due to throat nodules that threatened to damage her voice, leaving fans supporting her devastated.

At the time, viewers speculated whether Cosima got more votes than Shannon despite her departure for health reasons, sparking wild rumors of a breakup between them.

However, more than 20 years later, the couple have steadfastly denied there was ever any bad blood between them when they reunited to do a duet on Shannon’s new album, That’s What I’m Talking About.

Shannon admitted she felt “bad” for Cosima after her “hard” and sudden exit from Australian Idol, but insisted they have always been friends despite the drama.

Of the criticism Shannon received for reaching the final after her exit, Cosima admitted: “I felt really bad for Shannon, I felt really guilty.

“We never talked about it, and we were always friends, and it was understood that we wanted the best for each other, there were never any hard feelings in any way.”
