Former X factor judge Ayda recently underwent a series of extensive blood tests and is extremely health conscious following her mother's diagnosis with cervical cancer in 2020.
Her mother, who is undergoing treatment, also suffers from Parkinson's and Lupus and Ayda is keen to ensure both she and Robbie, who also underwent a colonoscopy last year, look after their bodies.
Patients undergoing a colonoscopy have to eat only plain food for two days before their procedure so Ayda more than made up for it with treats afterwards.

The procedure sees the endoscopic examination of the large bowel and the distal part of the small bowel with a CCD camera or a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube passed through the anus.
The American Cancer Society recommends that women (and men) who are at an average risk for colon cancer begin screening at age 45 and then receive a colonoscopy once every 10 years until age 75 if they are in generally good health.
It comes as Ayda is reportedly returning to popular daytime show Loose Women after a three year break as she is set to return to the UK with husband Robbie.

The actress moved to Switzerland in January 2021 but now wants to settle permanently in the UK with her and Robbie's four children Teddy, nine, Charlton, seven, Coco, three, and Beau, two.
She last sat in the ITV studio in December 2019, but a source has now told The Sun: 'Once she is back and settled in the UK, Ayda wants to get back on Loose Women.'
The insider continued: 'ITV have made it clear she is more than welcome to return to the panel as she was a hugely popular character — not only with viewers but also with everyone who works on the show.
'Ayda has amazing A-list connections — and with Robbie as her husband, she always has a hilarious tale or two to tell.
'The show hasn't been the same without her and she can't wait to join the other Loose ladies as a guest panelist.'
Ayda last appeared on Loose Women in 2020 during lockdown as she and Robbie joined the panel by video to take part in an episode dedicated to the NHS.
MailOnline had at the time contacted a representative for Ayda and an ITV spokesperson for comment.
