Portia de Rossi has said that her fear of coming out as a lesbian caused her lose weight. Portia, who recently decided to take her wife’s surname, is married to chat show host Ellen DeGeneres but has admitted the strain of publicly admitting her sexuality had a huge effect on her weight.

“I had such a long way to go before I could even be seen in public with a woman, much less be seen in public with that one," Portia told Women’s Weekly magazine. "It took a long, long time for me to think I had a problem. I was around 90 pounds and I remember feeling very afraid of food every night. I didn't want to walk past pizza restaurants because that would make me remember what it was like to eat pizza, and I was truly afraid that I was going to be overcome with the urge to binge and that if I started bingeing then I just wouldn't stop."
