Jennifer Metcalfe: I don't have an eating disorder

Hollyoaks actress says she’s hooked on curry

Jennifer Metcalfe has her curves back

Jennifer Metcalfe has hit back at claims she is anorexic.

The Hollyoaks actress sparked fears for her health when she was snapped looking ultra-skinny while on holiday recently.

She also admitted she'd lost nearly half a stone.

But Jen, who split from Liverpool footballer Jermaine Pennant in July, insists she has a healthy appetite.

‘I haven't been on a heartbreak diet,’ she says. ‘Yes, I was looking a bit skinny, but I certainly didn't have an eating disorder.

'In fact, I'm very secure about my body.’

Jennifer, 25, who plays Mercedes McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, says her curry addiction has helped her gain weight.

‘I need a chicken saag masala at least once a week or I get withdrawal symptoms,’ she adds.
