CASSIE QUIT MODELLING WHEN TOLD SHE NEEDED TO LOSE WEIGHT

Model-turned-R+B singer CASSIE quit her catwalk career after she was told to lose weight. The 19-year-old ME + U hitmaker was furious when fashion bosses told her she needed to shift some weight, and decided to swap modelling for a career in music. She says, "The funny thing about it was that towards the end of the modelling thing I was told that I needed to lose weight, and it really brought me down. I was just like: 'Whatever, I've got bigger and better things to do.' And the ironic thing is, since I stopped that and started the singing, I actually lost the weight just through being so busy."
