Sadie Frost's Apple Domination

Sadie Frost was "controlled" by apples.

The 44-year-old star admits her dieting and preoccupation with her weight got out of control when she was a teenager.

She said: "When I was about 14, I started to become aware of my body. A friend and I decided to lose weight and decided to eat just one apple a day. I got very competitive about it and completely obsessive.

"The apple controlled me. I'd chop it up, have it piece by piece. I lost weight very quickly, but it did give me a bit of a shock."

Although Sadie says becoming a mother helped her become more comfortable with her weight, she admits to getting dangerously thin in 2002 following the death of her father and breakdown of her marriage to Jude Law.

She explained to Britain's Grazia magazine: "I couldn't eat. I just couldn't do it. Everyone around me would beg me to eat but I just couldn't do it. I went down to about seven stone and it was a very unhealthy place for me.

"I dealt with my sadness, my loss, my grief, by going out drinking and partying."
