He is now a full-time fitness instructor and has been dubbed “Ralph Travolta” by pals thanks to his nifty dance moves.

Ralph, from Turnford, Herts, said: “I was addicted to bacon sandwiches. I was a complete recluse. Once I started eating, I couldn’t stop.

“Kebabs, pizzas, bacon, frozen food, I would eat it all most days.

“Every day I was eating the same as most people would in a week.

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.”
