The actress recently revealed that she worries about celebrity endorsed products and DVDs with no proper expertise and as a result she is now back to school studying fitness and nutrition.

'I have started studying again for my nutrition course, its been on hold since Alfie was born, but as I've said in the past – the more I learn – the more I can share with you guys,' she wrote in a blog post for Hello .

'I think there are far too many people giving out advice that have zero qualifications to do so! I'm amazed at some of the 'advice' I read in magazines/on DVD's.

'One needs to be so careful these days – with countless books and DVDs being endorsed by various familiar faces, its hard to know who actually knows what they're talking about.'
