Lady Gaga’s former tour manager has sensationally claimed the popstar “starved” herself to fit into her famous costumes.

David Ciemny, who unveiled the details in a new book ‘Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga,’ said the singer’s dangerous yo-yo dieting even left her hospitalized SIX times last year.

He wrote, “When I say she was sick, I mean physically and mentally.”

According to her former employee the ‘Alejandro’ star would go on regular junk food binges and then not eat for weeks in order to squeeze into her revealing outfits onstage.

At one point her obsession is said to have caused her to lose a massive 20 pounds (9kgs) between the first and final fittings for a show.

Talent scout Wendy Starland, who met the wacky songstress at the very start of her rise to fame added,

“The pressure on her to lose weight was very high.”

The shocking new claims come shortly after the popstar passed out three times while performing her first show in Auckland earlier this year.

At the time she told the Kyle and Jackie O show, “I was so jet lagged.

“I passed out about three times on stage that night but I got myself to the floor. I'd rather die on stage than walk off because I was going to pass out.”
