The Only Way Is Essex star Maria Fowler hasn't yet started her diet, as the 25-year-old was spotted yesterday indulging in a greasy meal at Burger King in Marbella.

She's said she wants to slim down to a tiny size six because she's not happy with photographs of herself.

But perhaps The Only Way Is Essex star Maria Fowler hasn't yet started her diet, as the 25-year-old was spotted yesterday indulging in a greasy meal at Burger King in Marbella.

Dressed in an Ann Summers monokini, Maria kept her sunglasses on as she enjoyed a Double Whopper burger and chips at the fast food outlet.

Maria's meal came as she admitted to Closer magazine she is conscious of 'looking big' in photographs, despite being a size 8.

And Maria, who has posed naked for Breast Cancer Care's Pink Fridays campaign in the publication, has even taken up boxing in a bid to lose a few pounds.

She said: 'I see bits others wouldn’t that I’d like to change! I see paparazzi pics of me in a bikini, and I think I look too big - I hate it. I really want to be size 6.'

Maria, who is also planning to have an advanced laser liposuction procedure to get rid of 'a small pocket of fat' on her bottom, also spoke to Closer about her mother Trudy's battle with breast cancer.

The TOWIE star revealed Trudy, 56, told her she was suffering from the disease five years ago, leaving her 'numb with shock'.

And Maria said while posing completely naked was 'nerve-wracking', she wanted to do it to raise awareness of breast cancer.

She explained: 'My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. When she broke the news to me, I was numb. I just thought, "Oh my God, no."

'It was grade three - which is really aggressive - and she had to have chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a mastectomy. She passed the five-year mark at Christmas - she was only given a 70 per cent chance of living that long at first.'

 

 

 

Maria added one of the most difficult parts of seeing her mother go through such a battle was when she lost her hair.

She said: 'When she had chemo, Mum decided to cut off her hair before it fell out. I did it for her – but she looked like a child. It was horrible.'

But Maria also revealed it was her mother who first encouraged her to move from Derby to Essex to pursue her glamour-modelling career.

She added: Mum told me to do it. Seeing me follow my dreams helped her. We speak all the time, and she comes to visit me loads too.'

Trudy also encouraged Maria to have her breast enlargement, knowing it was something she wanted to do.

Maria said: 'My boob job was just after Mum’s reconstruction. She told me to go for it - she said she’d have done it years ago if she could have!'
