Fergie has reportedly acquired a taste for British food while filming in the UK.

The Black Eyed Peas singer has become a fan of fish and chips after being instructed by film bosses to put on weight for new musical Nine.

"I actually love [British food]," she is quoted by the Press Association as saying.

"I was actually told to gain weight for the film so I've been eating everything - anything and everything. That's why I am covering up except for my legs because they never gain weight and that's the only part that never changes but everything else is covered."

Fergie added of her Nine experience: "It's actually great to be singing not as myself but as a character, so it's fun. I am excited for people to see that."
