Fearne Cotton has unwittingly become a role model for anorexics and has even found pictures of herself on pro-anorexia websites, Heatworld reports.
The TV presenter was left horrified after finding the pictures while researching for an ITV documentary she is making called, The Truth About Online Anorexia. She screamed: "What the hell's my name doing there? That's the worst thing I've ever seen! A picture of me when I was about 20 years old and a bit thinner than I am now.
"To think girls would use that is horrific. I wish I could take myself off this website. I don't want to be associated with anything like this."
"Anything this website says I do not believe. Girls should not try and look like anyone. Girls, you should be your- self, know who you are and love yourself - that's the message I want to put out there."
She also found tips on extreme dieting and a gallery of celebrity pictures offering "thinspiration" which Fearne found extremely shocking.
