Jennifer Metcalfe: I don't have an eating disorder

Hollyoaks actress says she’s hooked on curry

Inside Soap Award Nominations: Jennifer Metcalfe shows off her figure

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.
