Another thing Sims turns to for guidance is astrology. She tells Pretty Little Thing, “I also am spiritual. So I listen to my star sign for that little bit of like, yeah, just gimme a little sign forward to and they get it spot on as well.”

“I was like a, literally like a stick insect as a child, like really like flat chested, straight down skinny. Let us say I was unique looking, had big teeth, big lips, you know? So everyone always used to say she should do modeling. And I wasn't a confident child. I never thought I was pretty as a child. And I definitely didn't as a teenager. So like the more people said it, I used to think, if I could be a model, then I'd probably feel confident and I didn't have any other plan. I wasn't good at anything. Except for art," she has said.

5. She Tried Modeling Due to Her Unique Looks

“I grew up with magazines, girls magazines, there was like these ones, they used to come out every week and they used to always have a modeling competition in there.” she went to one. “I didn't win. But the photographer liked me. And he said, you know, like you should actually do modeling. So I went back for another photo shoot. Anyway, I got a contract, but my family decided to move and then that just squashed," she has said.

1. She Battled an Eating Disorder

Chloe battled an eating disorder for many years. “I was a size 10 but I wanted to be a size six. The gym was my way of losing weight the right way, but I just worried that I was going to ruin it all when I got home,” she told Reveal magazine. She survived on a diet of Go Ahead yoghurt bars, a banana and a tin of mackerel and was also making herself sick after meals. “I was soon doing it (being sick) most days. I'd starve myself to the point where I had to eat and then I got the food out straightaway, even if it was something really little.” Eventually, she started to look sick. “I looked at at one picture and thought, ‘F**k, I look anorexic.’ I looked so ill and I knew I had to put on weight.”

2. She Has Gone Under the Knife

Chloe has undergone multiple plastic surgery procedures, including two boob jobs, fillers in her face, Botox, lip fillers, a Brazilian bum lift, and veneers, per New! Magazine. However, she doesn’t discuss them with her daughter, Madison, explaining "it's not something she needs to be aware of." She said: "In the past, whenever I've had any bruises or anything like that, I'd just make something up, say I fell over or something.

3. She Works Out

Chloe works out to keep her body thin and toned. She relies on regular weight training sessions with a personal trainer, lifting weights and doing strength training exercises.

4. She Relies on Meal Prep Programs

When Chloe needs to get in great shape fast, she will use a meal prep/delivery service. “It’s onnnn... I’ve been on & off with my healthy eating but with less than a month to prepare for possibly returning to work this will deffo help me stay on track towards my goals,” she said about Do the Unthinkable plan.

5. She Cheats

Chloe eats healthy – most of the time. Her favorite cheat meal? A huge hamburger with french fries. Consider a plant-based burger. "It looks like a burger. It cooks like a burger. Some say it tastes similar to burger. But is it healthier?" asks the Mayo Clinic. "It really depends on how that plant-based burger is made," says Katherine Zertasky, a Mayo Clinic registered dietitian nutritionist, who "says the benefit of plant-based burgers usually comes in the form of fiber and other nutrients. But then comes the issue of fat." "Some plant-based burgers are going to have added fat, and oftentimes, the added fat is a saturated fat....Saturated fat has an association with raising our bad cholesterol, and the concern is that it may increase our heart disease risk."
