Ashlee Simpson has blamed her stint at ballet for her pre-teen anorexia.
Talking about her experiences she said that it was "all about image and weight", and that it was a lot of pressure at a very young and impressionable age.
The singer has turned her back on these early worries, but admits her family were shocked at how thin she had become after a period at New York's School of American Ballet.
She said: "That was a brief thing. As soon as my mum saw me she was like, 'We are going to eat steak and French fries!'
"It's all about image and weight and you're talking about it all day. But it's not anything I worry about anymore."
