LEGENDARY ex-jockey Lester Piggott was rushed to hospital over the weekend but is said to be in “good shape”.

Piggott, 83, who won the Derby at Epsom a record nine times and 5,300 races worldwide, has had heart problems in the past but has undergone “routine tests”.

Daughter Maureen Haggas, the wife of trainer William Haggas, told the Racing Post said: “He’ll be in for a few more days but was taken in as a precautionary measure.”

Piggott was jailed for three years in 1987 after being found guilty of an alleged tax fraud of more than £3m. With time off for good behaviour, he served a year and a day in prison.

After a stalled training career and prison, he made a triumphant return to the saddle in 1990 at the age of 54.

Referring to his gruelling career, Maureen added: “He’s in good shape considering he’s been abusing his body since he was 16.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
