She’s famous for her thigh-skimming outfits, and showing off her tanned bod on every occasion possible – but Snooki hasn’t always been so confident about her body.

The ‘Jersey Shore’ star, real name Nicole Polizzi, has revealed she became dangerously thin in high school after suffering from a severe eating disorder.

The petite brunette told OK, “I really wouldn't eat. I would only have lunch, and I would only have salads.

"[I] would go into the nurse's office every day and I would weight myself. When [the school nurse] realised that I hit 80lb, she was like, 'This isn't good'."

"My parents told me, 'You need to eat, this is very dangerous', so I gained my weight back to like 98lb, where I always was."


Meanwhile the Princess of Poughkeepsie has revealed she’s no longer on the lookout for a “juicehead” boyfriend.

Instead, now that she’s reached global stardom, the reality babe has set her standards much much higher.

"I'm thinking Usher,” she told MTV.



Well we hear he’s single now Snickers! And as he proved at the ‘2010 MTV Video Music Awards’ this week, he certainly still has the moves…

Don’t miss Snooki and the rest of the fist-pumping housemates in ‘Jersey Shore’ every Tuesday @ 9.30pm on MTV Australia.
