Ashley Olsen has accused aggressive paparazzi of turning her into a nervous wreck.

The famous twin said she has developed a phobia of cameras because of the 'physically intimidating' behaviour of photographers.

"Honestly, I'm a wreck. Every time I see a camera, I'm a wreck," she told the New York Times. "I don't tend to react as though 'I have to do this, it's my job.' I am reacting as a woman who is five-foot-one whose space is being invaded by a bunch of men whose aggression I can literally feel."

She added that she constantly fears there will be an accident as a result of her being followed. "Someone getting hurt because of me, how I could ever possibly live with that? I can't imagine what it would be like to have kids in the back seat and have to go through this and pretend for their sake that you are not scared."
