Beyonce’s Fat Past

Beyonce might have the body of a temple these days, but it seems she works very hard keeping an eye on her figure, as she struggled with her weight as a youngster and often needed four people to help her zip up her jeans.

The curvy singer/actress admits she went through an "ugly" stage as a youngster and insists she was once so overweight it took her entire family to prise her into trousers.

She tells Glamour magazine, "When I was around 10 or 11 my mother gave me this really ugly haircut and I was really chubby. So chubby that my family used to all lie me down flat so that they could zip up my jeans. It would take four of them and I would lie there on the bed while they all got to work on it."

Well Beyonce, you’ve proven there’s hope for us all!
