Jessica Ennis: “I’d rate my body confidence as a good seven”

Jessica Ennis has the perfectly toned body of a lean and lithe Olympian, naturally. Yet she still doesn’t rate herself a ten out of ten beauty.

Talking to Cosmopolitan magazine, the World Champion heptathlete confessed: “On a scale of one to 10, I’d rate my body confidence as a good seven.”

Though refreshingly positive we do agree, with muscle tone most of us merely dream of, and a face to lull masses into a starry-eyed daze, we can’t help but think she deserves a solid ten!

But fear not, despite having hang-ups just like the rest of us, the hottie is still happy in the buff.

“Everyone has their hang-ups, but I see my body as a training tool and I feel good about it. I’m pretty body confident, and I’m comfortable being naked.”

Hear, hear! If only more women were comfortable in their birthday suit eh?

Jessica’s full interview appears in the August issue of Cosmo out today - she chats about her upcoming wedding, pressures of the Olympics and the pursuit of Gold!
