Dua Lipa has opened up about the strict diet and demanding exercise routine she adheres to when she's touring.
"There's like no drinking. Can't have hot sauce," she revealed on the Dish From Waitrose podcast, adding that she usually eats steak and vegetables before she goes on stage.
"But I guess like, once I'm in the swing of things and I have like a routine and my body is really strong and healthy - it's just getting into stamina mode," said the 28-year-old. "It's like rehearsals, no drinking, working out, just back-to-back preparing for all the shows that's come. So, it's just running, dancing, singing, all at the same time, to make sure I can hack it once the adrenaline hits as well. I gotta make sure that while we're doing new dance moves that a certain move isn't gonna make my voice shake."
The two-time Grammy winner also revealed that when she's touring the world she always makes sure she takes some time out to enjoy the city she's in and take a break from her gruelling routine.
"I think about the trip and then I think about the food, and I start putting it in the diary so I can book places to eat food, and my whole day revolves around food and then whatever else in between," she says. "I just have to think about the show that night. So, then it's all about finding the best restaurant in whatever city I'm in, best like museum, things to see, be a proper tourist in the city, like it's my favourite thing to do."
Dua Lipa's new album, Radical Optimism, is out now.
