Eastenders actress, Samantha Janus, has given a very frank and honest interview to the Sunday Mirror, in which she admits that she goes to bed hungry every night in a bid to maintain her figure.

“I go to bed hungry every night. It’s a shi**y way to live. It’s terrible and if I’m honest, yeah, it upsets me deeply,” Janus told the newspaper. “I miss being able to eat whatever want – I love food and love eating.

“But if I’ve had a big dinner or gorged on the kids’ leftovers I’ll eat virtually nothing the next day. Maybe a bowl of porridge or a salad to try to even it out.”

“I’m not a character actress,” she continued. “I’m known as a femme-fatale actress who’s got older. If I let myself go and put on weight, no one would employ me. I’d love to think it wouldn’t matter, but I have done it – and I didn’t get any work. This is the way I make my money and support my family and I have to do it properly. And if I don’t do it, I don’t have an income.” Read more & comment »
