Liz Hurley is so obsessed with food she takes cook books to bed.

The super-slim star loves to look at snaps of the sumptuous dishes before going to sleep because they excite her.

Hurley has also quashed rumours she starves herself to stay thin - saying she never goes a day without eating junk food.

She revealed: "I do see all these stories about me living on a teaspoon of gruel a day. It makes me laugh, but it's just not true."

"I actually take cookery books to bed to look at the pictures and rarely a day goes by when I don't have a bag of crisps or some chocolate."

The 40-year-old actress also admitted she has a passion for calorific cakes, delicious deserts and scrumptious sandwiches.

She told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Have you tried Fondant Fan cakes - the pink ones? They're phenomenal. And those chocolate covered mini-rolls, delicious.

"The thing is, I've discovered children's party food and it's amazing.

"Basically, it's all the things I love, like egg mayonnaise sandwiches made with white sliced bread with the crusts cut off. But Fondant Fancies are my absolute favourite."
