Leslie Ann Horgan: 'Why we've a right to know the secrets to celebrities' rapid weight-loss regimes'

Chris Evans’ (right) no-water miracle diet is just a fad

It won't be the first time you've heard that the key to weight loss is cutting out drinking. This time, however, it's not sugary vino or calorie-laden beer that's in question. Instead, we're told that by not drinking plain old water with our meals, we'll begin to shed the pounds.

The source of this weight-loss 'super tip' is Chris Evans. When I first read that in a headline, I assumed that to mean the uber buff and chiselled 37-year-old Captain America star. But no, it transpires that it's the other Chris Evans - the uber pasty and ginger 53-year-old (Lieutenant Loudmouth perhaps?) - who has been dishing out dieting advice.
