The 30-year-old former Blue Peter girl, who fronts The World’s Strongest Man and dating show The Love Bus, revealed: 'I’m doing an exposé on the health food industry for BBC Three and am only allowed to eat meals that supermarkets brand healthy for a month. It’s been dreadful.'
She added: 'I honestly can’t stress how bad it’s been. I’m ill, I’m lethargic my friends reckon my body is depressed and after finding out what’s in these foods I can understand why.'
Talking in FHM Bionic, a supplement in this month's issue of FHM magazine, the shocked star exclaimed: 'Did you know that lots of ready meals contain methylcellulose, which is one of the key ingredients in wallpaper paste and some of the supposedly vegetarian products contain E920, which is a bulking agent made from crushed duck feathers?'
he added: 'After this experience, I will never eat convenience food again. I am now only going to eat out or cook, because I just don’t trust anything that’s pre-prepared.'
She continued: 'I’m a real foodaholic. That’s one of the things I love about presenting World’s Strongest Man. I can eat what I want and still not feel greedy, because those guys eat loads more than me.'
However, despite her latest photoshoot in the gym and being surrounded by muscle men for one of her day jobs, the blonde Irish beauty said she would never be seduced into bodybuilding.
She insisted: 'I like to stay toned, but I never want to be muscle-bound.'
As for meeting her match in or out of the ring, Zoe revealed: 'I’m still single. I’d love to be in a relationship, but I’m not negatively single. I don’t sit at home moping.
'I just enjoy hanging out with friends and tell myself Mr Right will come along soon.'
