McFly’s Tom Fletcher: ‘I was obsessed about being the fat one in the band’

McFly’s Tom Fletcher has revealed that he became obsessed about being the fat one in the band.

The 27-year-old, who speaks out in the boyband’s new book, 'Unsaid Things…Our Story,' admits that he followed a strict unhealthy diet routine in an effort to lose weight:

“I was obsessing about being the fat one in the band. I wanted to lose weight, but rather than going about it the sensible way, I pretty much stopped eating.

“I’d go to Starbucks and order a frappuccino and blueberry muffin and that was me for the day. Not eating apart from my daily Starbucks became my routine.”

The ‘Shine A Light’ singer, who also talks about his battle with depression and bipolar disorder in the book, goes on to admit:

“Not only would I beat myself up internally if I consumed anything else, I’d be in a foul mood if we were working somewhere there was no Starbucks.

“One day my car was in the garage so I got up extra early and walked several miles to our local town to get one. It was an obsession – and a deeply unhealthy one.”
