Because of her very slender frame, X Factor rapper Cher Lloyd is still having to hit back at suggestions she's anorexic.
The 17-year-old is adamant that she lives on more than raw carrots and that her body just burns up calories really quickly.
'I eat everything. I really do,' says Cher. 'Crisps, chocolate, I'm eating all the time. I have a fast metabolism.
Cher - who is being mentored by Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole - is particularly keen on fried chicken.
'I love Nando's,' she says. 'The chips are quite nice!
'Of course I am eating. I wouldn't be able to perform if I wasn't.'
