Symptoms were often dismissed as less serious problems such as indigestion or neck pain, leading to many missing out on life-saving treatments.

The Leeds University team found a woman’s chance of dying within a month was 5.2 per cent, compared to 2.3 per cent for men. Around 200,000 Brits are victims each year.

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.”
