Presenter Alexa Chung has surprised the world by hitting back at her critics, telling Elle magazine subscription holders she's not anorexic.
The usually-quiet TV star has told Elle magazine she's fed up reading rumours surrounding her weight.
"I don't expect everyone to like me but I cannot express how frustrating it is not to be believed when you say 'I don't have an eating disorder.'
"I am naturally very thin. I get even thinner when I'm stressed."
Alexa, who moved to the US for the show It's On With Alexa Chung, said her stint on the programme caused her to feel very stressed out.
"You cannot imagine how stressed I was. It was really f***ing hard work and I had to keep saying how great MTV was, how I was having the best time, while looking like I'm dying. Anyone could see I wasn't coping that well," she told Elle magazine.
Alexa started out as a model after signing up to an agency at just 16 years old. She bagged her first role on TV, becoming a presenter on Channel 4's Popworld, six years later.
