David Cameron has removed Tony Blair's mirrored fitness suite, which the former prime minister most likely used to keep fit in his gym clothing, from 11 Downing Street.

Tony and Cherie Blair used to work out in the gym under the supervision of their exercise guru Carole Caplin.

Other work that is said to be taking place in the house includes the removal of carpets and the installation of black granite work tops in the private kitchen, as well as renovation of the catering kitchen.

All of the work being carried out is being monitored by English Heritage to ensure that any changes to the listed building are in keeping with its original features, a Number Ten spokesperson told the Daily Telegraph.

While working out in an indoor gym - whether mirrored or not - is beneficial, scientists have found that outdoor exercise is better for the health.

Dr Eeva Karjalainen, of the Finnish Forest Research Institute in Metla, claimed that green settings can strengthen the immune system while also reducing stress, improving mood and reducing anger and aggressiveness.
