Janice Dickinson slates 'fake' modelling industry

Former supermodel spills the beans about eating disorders and airbrushing

Janice Dickinson claims the modelling industry is just a glamorous facade and that many models have eating disorders and booze or drug problems.

'Just last month alone, I saw [the models] going back and forth to the bathrooms, dabbing their mouths after hurling a meal. It's really tragic,' she says.

'It's a horrible, horrible addiction.'

Former supermodel Janice, 52, insists that Kate Moss's much-publicised cocaine shame was hardly unique.

'I'm a former cocaine and alcohol abuser myself. It went hand-in-hand with the industry.'

'They wanted me to go and interview Kate for one of those shows in New York. I said: "No, leave her alone."'

The I'm A Celeb star also worries that photos of models set an unrealistic standard of beauty.

'Every magazine cover you see is completely airbrushed. We've been giving young girls and boys a sense of falseness,' she tells OK!

'The lighting is made to fool the public. I've been fooling the public for years.'
