Longoria: 'I'm still a size zero'

Eva Longoria has claimed that she is still a size zero, despite putting on weight over the summer.

The Desperate Housewives star, who was forced to deny rumours that she was pregnant, told Allure that she gained weight by not going to the gym.

"I've stopped working out and gained about seven pounds over the summer, which is a lot for a small person," she said.

The 33-year-old also hit back at tabloid stories that criticised her appearance: "It's like 'Oh my God. She's fat'. I hate that message they're sending out to young women everywhere who think, 'God, she's a size zero and she's still too big'. I never went up a size. I just got a little rounder."
