Speaking to Red Magazine, the 35-year-old mother opened up about her body image and rumours of an eating disorder.

“If there is one thing I will never have, it is an eating disorder. I won’t have girls – even if it is just one or two who care – thinking that.,” she told the magazine.

“Because it’s a serious sickness, not something to plaster on the cover of a magazine. And I am the opposite.”

Hudson is a favourite of tabloids and was famously attacked in the media for putting on weight when pregnant with her first son Ryder.

“Sometimes you do gain 70 pounds having a baby. The whole point is I want girls to love themselves. I want them to feel good about who they are… The thing is, I’m lucky because I was loved,” she said.

“But I have seen so many young women who can’t feel good about themselves because they just don’t have… that love,” she added.
