Girls Aloud - Girls Aloud Pour Water On Eating Disorder Speculation

Girls Aloud have rubbished renewed press reports that members of the band are suffering from eating disorders.

Kimberly Walsh said the rumours were not true and that the group followed a healthy, balanced diet.

"Journalists write that we starve ourselves, but it's not true," she told New! magazine.

The 26-year-old singer said her bandmates Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Nadine Coyle all have "healthy appetites [and] eat really well".

"We eat everything in moderation and we're not obsessive in any way," she added.

Cole has dubbed the eating disorder rumours as "annoying".

She claims the reports go against the band's commitment to providing role models for their fans.

"We have a responsibility because young girls look at us and we don't want them thinking we're depriving ourselves because we genuinely don't," she said.
