POLDARK

beauty Heida Reed, who plays Elizabeth, Aidan Turner’s first love in the BBC drama, admits she compares herself unfavourably to other women.

‘I do a few weeks of intensive workouts and eat “slightly” better and I’m like: “Why do I still look the same? Where are my Heidi Klum legs? Where is my JLo booty?’ the 29yearold writes online.

‘How many of you stand in front of a mirror and criticise yourselves immediately? I do. Without thinking.

‘It’s a habit. I can walk past a mirror very quickly and still focus in on the dimples on my hips that I wish weren’t there.’
