Australian actress Nicky Whelan has often been the subject of speculation over her extremely slender physique.
And now the former Neighbours star has revealed the heartbreaking secret behind her trim figure.
During an appearance on the Cancel Me, Baby! podcast this week, the 41-year-old said that her weight loss is often caused by stress.

‘A lot of the time when my body’s looked its best is when I have been incredibly stressed out,’ she admitted.
‘Barely eating and barely sleeping,’ she continued. ‘I’ve gotta share this with people because I don’t want people thinking that I’m working out and looking great.’
While the actress admitted that she does exercise and follow a healthy lifestyle, there are many times when her weight loss has all been down to stress.
‘I work out, but I also have times when I’m so stressed and I lose so much weight and it doesn’t matter what I eat, my body loses weight,’ she said.

‘And when I am at my worst internally, people will come up and say to me, “God you look fantastic.” I’m like, “You’ve got no idea what’s going on inside.”‘
Nicky then revealed that whenever she’s been happier and ‘curvier’, she’s received less compliments.
‘Other times in my life when I’m really happy and jovial and I’ve put on weight and I’m a bit curvier, I don’t get as much attention or people say different things.’

The blonde beauty famously played the role of Pepper Steiger in Neighbours from 2006 until 2007.
She went on to carve out a career for herself in Los Angeles, and has starred in movies such as Hall Pass and The Wedding Ringer.
Nicky often speaks about her passion for boxing, regularly sharing photos and videos on Instagram.

Last year, she shared a meme complaining about young fitness influencers.
‘I hate when fitness influencers are in their early 20s. Listen, I was skinny and hot as f**k when I was 21, too,’ it read.
‘My diet was vodka, ramen, coffee, and cigarettes. My workout was walking to parties drunk as f**k in 5-inch heels. you don’t impress me.’
