Tom Fletcher previously revealed in his autobiography that he had battled with a secret eating disorder after being cruelly labelled ‘the fat one’ in McFly.
Writing in Unsaid, he explained: “I was obsessing about being the fat one in the band.
“I wanted to lose weight, but rather than going about it the sensible way, I pretty much stopped eating.
“I'd go to Starbucks and order a frappuccino and blueberry muffin and that was me for the day. Not only would I beat myself up internally if I consumed anything else, I'd be in a foul mood if we were working somewhere there was no Starbucks.”

Recognising that his relationship with food was extremely unhealthy, he added: “It was an obsession - and a deeply unhealthy one.”
But, sitting down with wife Giovanna on ITV’s Loose Women yesterday, Tom explained that he has finally turned a corner.
And it’s all thanks to his beautiful little boys, two-year-old Buzz and four-month-old Buddy.
Opening up to the show’s panellists, Tom explained that his priorities have changed dramatically since he became a father.
He said firmly: “Being a dad you realise that it's not about you any more. All the cliches are true I think.
“It changes everything that you do and you realise why you're doing it, who you're doing it for.”
Tom added: “It gives you a real purpose and interestingly I think I've become more driven in my career and in my life since having the kids and I don't think I expected that to happen because I know I'm doing it now.”
Tom Fletcher has been nominated for Closer’s Dad Of The Year Awards 2016.
