The Cheeky Girls have opened up about suffering from eating disorders throughout their career, saying they were often scared to leave the house.
The pop twins - Gabriela and Monica Irimia from Transylvania, Romania - came to prominence in 2002 with the single 'Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)' and admitted that they can't remember much of the last decade because of their illness.
Appearing on Lorraine today (June 4), Gabriela explained: "It happened just like that - we didn't have control over our life at all, over our career, so what do you control the best, what you put in your mouth basically. This is what happened - we didn't even realise it, we were just sick overnight.
"And after about four years I decided, 'This is it, I'm not going to stay between four walls, drinking only soft drink'. We just didn't want to go out because canapes would be served or anything like that!"
Monica added: "We would drink diet soft drinks all day and basically have a mushroom for lunch!"
Gabriella went on to confess that their condition has made them unable to recall certain periods of their success, saying: "Our memories are quite lost now - looking back at some pictures when we travelled all around the Far East and around Europe, I'm looking at the picture and saying to myself, 'Did I actually go there?' I can't remember because I had been sick at the time."
The sisters, who have spent roughly £100,000 on nine breast augmentations between them, also spoke about the pressures of staying thin once in the limelight.
"At the age of 19 we never really had an issue with our body but the moment we started being popstars and being in the glamour and being in the industry, it was a lot of pressure coming from everywhere so this was the first reason why we took some action - we thought it was going to make our career even better at the time."
The Cheeky Girls celebrated the 10th anniversary of their breakthrough hit with a topless photoshoot last October.
