New 'magic patch' claims to give you abs like Jessica Ennis - without all that exhausting exercise (but does it work?)

She won gold for Britain in the heptathlon event at the 2012 London Olympic Games on Saturday, but it’s Jessica Ennis's super-toned stomach that has everyone talking.

The 26-year-old athlete’s abs were voted the most desirable in Britain in a recent poll, and it’s easy to see why.

But can any of us really hope to possess a stomach as well-defined as Jessica’s without putting in hours of training?

Magic patch? The Comfort Zone body strategist + abdomen patch is made up of suaeda maritime, which breaks down compound fats and lipids in the area

The makers of the Comfort Zone body strategist + abdomen patch claim that the product can help you on your way to doing just that, giving you a flatter abdomen in just a month.

Made up of suaeda maritime, which breaks down compound fats and lipids in the abdomen area, the patch is designed to combat fat using hydrogel technology and self-heating action.

The body strategist + abdomen patches, which cost £44.25 for a pack of 6, should be applied against the stomach for one hour.

Users are recommended to apply two a week, then one patch weekly for the last two weeks. Results will apparently be intensified if used with a special gel.

Perfect stomach? Jessica trains several hours a day, six days a week
