Top Size Zero model Lily Cole has today hit back at her critics suggesting that there was nothing unhealthy about her lifestyle.
Speaking from her bed at Charter Nightingale Hospital, Chelsea, tiny Lil claimed, "What is this fascination about my weight. I am only 6ft and weigh almost 7 stone. I don't really understand this BMI thing but my doctor tells me mine's 13 and that sounds a lot to me and my agent agrees."
After taking four deep breathes on her oxygen mask Ms Cole continued," It's all these fat people that have the problem. You see it all around you. I have known friends of mine to eat almost 2000 calories a day. Now I don't know much about calories either but Christ that would keep a family of elephants going wouldn't it?"
At this point in the interview Lily appeared to start hallucinating, claiming that our current affairs correspondent Peter Musgrove had suddenly changed into the Duke of Edinburgh.
Believing that he was about to get involved in some kind of anorexic royal sex scandal our reporter made his excuses and left.
