Cheryl Cole hates looking thin

Cheryl Cole has said she hates looking thin and gets nicknamed "flatty batty".

The Girls Aloud singer, whose small frame has come under scrutiny, said it "destroys" her when girls get hung up about their bodies, telling Grazia magazine: "I don't want to be thin, I hate looking thin.

"I don't want to be up and down like a lollipop lady. It's not a good look... I hate that women feel guilty about eating - just treat yourself."

Cole said she tended to lose weight when she was touring.

She said: "I challenge anyone to do the ridiculous amount of dancing and exercise we do day in day out and not lose weight and tone up.

"But I don't like the thin look. I love curves. I hate the fact I have no bum. I get called flatty batty."

Cole added: "In an ideal world I'd have smaller boobs.

She continued: "I'm a 32D which is ridiculous for my size and boobs are hard to dress. I hate looking booby. You can look really cheap very quickly.

"I'd love to have more junk in me trunk. Ideally, a body like Jennifer Lopez. But I'd dress differently to her.

"I'd dress like I do now. I'm happy with my style and I'm totally in love with fashion because I've learnt by making every mistake in the book."
