The majority of these, some 59 per cent, are aged between 25 and 49 showing the younger generations are more reluctant to take risks.

One in four people are put off due to the complexity of the process, a YouGov poll of 2,000 people uncovered.

It was also found that 1.6 million micro-businesses are struggling to fulfil their potential due to failings with online sales and poor web presence.

The report calls for the government to set up an Enterprise Account giving details on how to develop a business, book-keeping and how to access funds and training schemes.

Adrian Gregory, boss of IT firm Atos who commisioned the report, said: “The barriers to growth – both for individuals looking to start their own business, and small businesses looking to expand – are real and are holding the country back.

“Reducing the complexity in how young people especially, access information, advice and funds to start and grow their own business will ensure that Britain retains its entrepreneurial zeal.”

Tory MP Rachel Maclean, Vice-Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Entrepreneurship,  said starting a business is “terrifying”.

She said: I know I wouldn’t have done it if I hadn’t found myself married into a family of entrepreneurs. Anything that can be done to ease these challenges is welcome.”

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.”
