Actress Kate Winslet is reportedly set to sue Grazia magazine over claims that she visited a diet doctor in California.

According to BBC, the magazine reported that Winslet visited the Chinese Healing Institute in Santa Monica to seek help with neck pain and losing weight.

Winslet denied these claims, telling BBC Radio 1: "I'm very upset, it's categorically untrue, it's a complete lie."

"I don't want people thinking that I would ever go to a diet doctor. I never have done, and I never will," she said.

"I know I am a role model to young women, it's a role I take very very seriously. I would never want anyone to think I was a hypocrite in doing something like going to a diet doctor."
