Sarah Harding: I don’t have an eating disorder, I eat like a horse

Sarah Harding has denied suggestions she’s unhealthily underweight or anorexic.

Speaking on GMTV yesterday, the Girls Aloud star insisted that she eats more than enough: “I’ve just had two McDonald breakfasts! I’m not ill at all!

“I think when you’re happy though with the way you’re looking you just want to try and keep that up.

“I mean it’s not like I don’t eat anything, I eat like a horse, I’m just burning it off.”

Bandmate Cheryl Cole added that the women may be slimmer than they have been previously - but that’s because they’ve worked so hard this year: “Do you know what happened?

“Around the time of the tour, we all dropped a little bit of weight, but, you know - intense dancing for eight hours a day - I mean no normal human being is not going to drop any weight are they, really?

“And we haven’t had time to put it back on.”
