DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES - MARCIA DEVOURS DONUTS

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star MARCIA CROSS gained 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) while working at US chain Dunkin'' Donuts - because she couldn't stop eating the merchandise.

The now-svelte star landed her first job working at the donut chain and soon started stacking on the weight.

She explains, "I got so fat! Oh, my God, I ate everything!

"I had the little pastry bag and I filled the cream donuts and I dunked the chocolate covered ones.

"Mostly I ate. I'm not sure how long I worked there - however long it took to gain 30 pounds!"
