Nicola Roberts wants to be "more womanly"

Girls Aloud singer turned solo star Nicola Roberts has admitted that she wishes she "could put weight on". 

The flame haired hitmaker is known for her slim physique and unique sense of style but revealed to Look magazine that she would love to be "more womanly". 

"I'd say to Kimberley that I wish I could put weight on. I look at her curves and I'm there stuffing my face but it just doesn't work. I used to be a dancer so I have muscle memory, I can literally carry bags of food shopping and my arms go muscly. I can't bear it. I want them to be smoother and more womanly."

Despite having the typical girly hang-ups, Roberts added that she is generally happy in her own skin:

"It's healthier if you think optimistically because there are always people out there who are in a far worse situation than you are. If you're born with pale skin, you're born with pal skin just as if you're born with olive skin. Whatever shape you are, colour you or size you are, it's just what you're born with."
