Coldplay think the screens used during their arena tour make them look fat.

The usually health conscious star, who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, refuses to hire a personal chef and loves whipping up tasty treats for her family.

Chris Martin loves getting tattoos because it gives him a "buzz". The Coldplay frontman has had several inkings since his 30th birthday last year and loves them so much he would thoroughly recommend having a piece of body art.

Chris, 31, said: "Getting tattooed is brilliant. I got a few done in my 30s and it is the best buzz ever - especially if you are married and can't take drugs."

Miley Cyrus is set to support Coldplay on tour.
