Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole has admitted that she used to be so stressed about the media coverage of her that she didn't eat or sleep properly.
According to OK, the 'X Factor' judge said that she found it very difficult to cope with reading negative stories about herself in the newspapers.
Cole said: "I'll be honest with you, in the past I didn't eat, sleep, I barely breathed through worry of what people were thinking of me, but never once did I think none of this is worth it."
"If there's a bad story, someone's eating their chips off it the next day so we don't care."
"It's hurtful to read lies about yourself when people can actually believe those things, though. I'm just going to live my life and if I'm in the paper, big deal."
