Women are worried their partner is 'Manorexic'
A third of women fear their male partners suffer from the eating disorder anorexia, a survey has found.
Dubbed 'Manorexia' the male version of the eating disorder is thought to be on the rise as more men try to live up to Hollywood's leading actors.
3,000 women were quizzed in the poll, with 31 percent saying their boyfriend, fiance or husband is showing early signs of Manorexia.
This includes crash dieting, skipping meals, constantly worrying about their weight and increased or excessive exercise.
However, most women said the only exercise their partner gets is walking to the fridge to finish the left over takeaway and they wished he did worry about his weight.
37 percent of the women surveyed said that they had a friend who was potentially anorexic, 14 percent said a family member might be, and seven percent said they were themselves.
Jilly Tovey of MyCelebrityFashion who commissioned the research said: "This is a deeply concerning trend that needs addressing in order to make sure that people get the help and support that they need."
