Style Guru Trinny Woodall Strives to Be a Size 0

Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine have been, for many years, the voice of no-nonsense fashion. Their initial show on BBC, “What Not to Wear,” brought in millions of viewers eager to hear the latest do’s and don’t’s from the self-styled fashion gurus. Now, years later, the show no longer commands such impressive numbers in the UK, and the duo is preparing to cross over to the US for a fresh start. In order to do so, Trinny has set for herself the (unhealthy) goal of getting down to a size 0, the Daily Mail claims.

The British tab spoke to a couple of friends of the star, and has learned that Trinny is convinced that, for the show to catch on, she has to meet all the standards of female beauty in Hollywood, including being as skinny as possible. Consequently, she has stopped eating almost altogether and lives entirely on carrots and the occasional “treat” of diet cookies, all with the purpose of losing all trace of fat on her body and despite her friends repeatedly telling her that she looks “ill.”

“Little, bar a meager daily allowance of raw carrot batons, a small handful of organic rice cakes and a carefully controlled portion of roasted pumpkin seeds, has been allowed to pass her improbably plump lips just lately. Even her last illicit pleasure – the single dark chocolate Lindor truffle to which she used to treat herself each evening – has been ruthlessly dispensed with. Nothing, the already super-slim style queen has decreed, must come between her and the size zero figure she insists she will need if she is to crack the all-important American market.” the Mail writes, after speaking with the insider.

Trinny Woodall was never too heavy to begin with, but she has never looked as frail as she does now. As a matter of fact, a couple of public appearances she made last week drew heavy criticism from the media, since it was clear her bony knees, visible ribcage and thin calves had not been there before. This, in turn, led to speculation on whether she suffered from an eating disorder, speculation Trinny was quick to shoot down, insisting she’s simply on a diet to make sure she doesn’t gain more weight.

“She’s had a rotten time of it recently, so naturally she’s pinning her hopes on this chance in America. This time last year, she set her heart on cracking the States and now she feels it’s within her grasp. She is not going to let this chance slip away.” the same spy reveals. “Trinny’s convinced she can become a huge star in the States, but she says she has got to look just right if she’s going to be taken seriously in Hollywood. I have told her she needs to put on weight, but she is always saying she eats too much. It’s crazy.” the insider concludes by saying.
