She’s already said that she hates her legs – which are lovely, note please – and now she’s admitted to feeling insecure about her looks.

Apparently, her love rat husband, Ashley Cole, prefers her to look like all the girls I see in my local precinct pushing prams with their smoking hand:

She told Heat:

“There will be times when I’ve got changed three of more times before I leave the house.

“Could be hormones, bad hair day, feel fat or spotty. I have it all.

“I’ve got a new fondness for high-waisted jeans because they make my legs look longer.”

But they make your trunk look short?!
