Liv Tyler was spurred into losing her baby weight after people thought she was pregnant again.

The beautiful actress didn't feel under pressure to slim down after giving birth to son Milo in December 2004 and was happy to concentrate on being a good wife and mother.

However, she was horrified when unflattering pictures were taken of her when Milo was eight months old, sparking rumours she was expecting again.

She said: "I can remember walking down the street to go to the nail salon when Milo was eight months old, and a photographer took my picture. I was wearing a very unflattering shirt that I had worn while I was pregnant and a pair of sweat pants, and when the picture appeared in a magazine, they ran a caption asking if I was pregnant again. When I saw it I knew the holiday was over.' "

Liv wasn't surprised when she didn't start losing her baby weight straight away, because she didn't alter her treat-filled diet.

She said: "I was not one of those women who just dropped pounds instantly when I was breast-feeding. Actually, I was so homely I was ravenous for things like doughnuts and cakes."
