    GWYNETH PALTROW OPENS UP ON HOW EXERCISE PUT THE SPARK BACK IN HER MARRIAGE TO CHRIS MARTIN

    Paltrow, who's more likely to be seen advocating on behalf of her fitness trainer BFF, Tracy Anderson, than chomping down a burger, happily takes on an eating challenge proposed by Jamie Oliver and co-host Jimmy Doherty for the duo's latest show, which sees them re-opening a Southend seaside cafe for friends, locals and celebrity pals, inviting them to participate in a 'food fight where anything goes.'

    Game for the challenge, a gorgeous Gwyn, clad in a black knit jumper and multiple chain necklaces, tells Jamie that: 'I embarassingly tend to eat more than the men I eat with.'

    The hosts then challenge the star to a 'Chubby bunny' competition, which involves stuffing her mouth full of marshmallows and saying 'Chubby bunny' after plopping each sweet into her mouth.

    The star proves she's a good sport as she takes on co-host Doherty, matching him marshmallow for marshmallow, and laughing throughout the challenge while other restaurant customers look on.

    Gwyneth may be up for a little indulgence now and again, but she works hard to keep her 40-year-old frame looking so good. She credits celebrity trainer Anderson for reshaping her body, and recently said in an interview:

    'With my daughter it had been easier, but this time, no matter what I did, I felt stuck. I couldn’t shift the weight. But I met Tracy and she was this force from the second I met her.

    'She pulled my pants off. I’ll never forget it. She was like, "Oh, my God, wow, I just am so surprised, because you look so good in clothes. I wasn’t expecting this."'
