Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has spoken about how pop star Robbie Williams rescued her from an eating disorder.
37-year-old Halliwell said the ex-Take That star "possibly" saved her life by persuading her to book in to a clinic in the US for treatment for bulimia.
Speaking on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories She said "I was worried I'd get fat. I would binge and then felt fatter and would make myself sick. It was awful."
The singer recalled how her weight plummeted after she left the pop group in 1998.
She said: "Robbie knew about my bulimia and he advised me to get help. He told me to go into rehab and that possibly saved my life.
"The bulimia would have got worse without it. I will always be grateful to him, always."
She went on: "I became really close to Robbie after leaving the Spice Girls and it was a very poignant friendship.
"I was lonely and felt he was the only person on the planet who could understand me because of his experiences with Take That. We understood each other. But I didn't really go out with him. I am happy and healthy now."
The programme will be screened on ITV1 on April 3.
