The 31-year-old actress revealed that she struggled with her body image after she gained weight filming The Baby-Sitter’s Club at the age of 15.

She said: 'You're at that stage where your body is just changing so actively, so it was a natural change, but I remember finishing that film and realising that I had gained probably 10lbs over the course of filming, which is a lot when you're only 5ft 2in.'

She said that she developed food issues as a result.

Speaking to Fox News, she said: 'You're looking for a sense of control, and when you're in a really transitional phase in your teenage years, I think it's a pretty normal reaction to develop food issues.'

She said: 'Nothing that you see is real, even if you look at what looks like a candid photo of someone, anything can be done. It is false advertising and false advertising is a crime, so why isn't this a crime?
