Janet Jackson lost over 4st in 2006

Janet Jackson admits she’s been comfort eating following the death of brother Michael.

The singer, who's battled with her weight over the years, turns to food when she’s going through a tough time.  

‘I can be an emotional eater,’ Janet tells Harper’s Bazaar. ‘Of late, I have been doing that.

‘It started when I was very little. My brothers were gone on tour a lot, and I would miss them so much. Certain things in my life would become triggers.’

Janet, 43, is now working on a book about dieting and self-esteem called True You.

Michael passed away on 25 June aged just 50.
