He said: ‘She looks like she’s lost up to three stone over the years, and is a size 8. She’s lost weight on her face, legs, arms and neck and would be around 9 stone.’

Natalie has been no stranger to a diet or two over the years, and was at her thinnest in 2007 after shrinking to a tiny size 4-6.
The screen star even released fitness DVD Then And Now to flaunt her new figure, but went onto reveal in 2009 that it was an unhealthy relationship with laxatives that led her to drop the pounds.
She told Heat magazine at the time: ‘I really wasn’t well. I was bordering on having an eating disorder.’
‘There were nights I would go out for dinner and then I’d go home and take laxatives because I didn’t want the food inside me.’
