Jade GoodyDespite her collapse during the London marathon being to a lack of training, Jade Goody has taken the opportunity to admit she’s addicted to slimming pills.

Jade was branded “Miss Piggy” and mocked about her weight when she appeared on Big Brother in 2002. On leaving the house, she dieted furiously and had cosmetic surgery to improve her looks.

She recently revealed that she’s battling an eating disorder as a result of constant pressure to complete with slimmer reality TV stars, like Celebrity Big Brother’s Chantelle Houghton. Her addiction to the pills is related to that.

“I couldn’t buy them myself in case I got photographed. My mate got them for me from a little shop around the corner,” she is quoted as saying the Daily Star.
