BRITNEY SPEARS’ ex-husband KEVIN FEDERLINE piled on the pounds eating fat ty foods and drinking up to 24 cans of soda a day.
The dancer stunned fans last year (09) when he was photographed sportin g a bulging belly - and the shot earned him nickname ‘K-Fat’.
Federline reveals it was the combination of so many sugary drinks with the calorie-packed food that sent his weight soaring.
He says, "I drank 12-24 cans of soda a day, not diet. That was my coffe e, that was my candy, that was my cake. I didn’t drink coffee, eat candy; I didn’t eat cake. I ate pizza, macaroni and cheese and all that, so the combination of the two just added up real fast." Federline has since shed the excess fat thanks to a strict diet and the exercise regime on reality TV show Celebrity Fit Club, and he’s thankful for the programme’s help in whipping him back into shape.
He adds, "I feel healthy. I feel normal again. I wake up, I wanna get o ut of bed. I don’t wanna stay in bed and eat all day and not go anywhere.

"I was leaving early one morning and thought, ‘I’ve got five minutes’, and started going through stuff and there it was. (I was) sitting in this all-brown hotel room at about quarter past six on a November morning whe n I saw it.

British socialite and magazine columnist PEACHES GELDOF has been axed as the face of a U.K. lingerie brand after naked pictures of her were leaked online.
Saucy snaps of Bob Geldof’s wildchild daughter hit cyberspace last week (ends28Mar10). In one shot she’s fully nude on a bed with her legs in th e air, while she reveals her breasts, wearing just a pair of pants, in an other.
The pictures were posted by a man who claims to have enjoyed a one-nigh t stand with Geldof in Los Angeles in November last year (09). He also al leges the pair went on to share a night of sex and drugs.
The 21 year old’s lawyer has slammed the claims, stating: "The allegati ons that our client was carrying and injecting heroin are denied." But despite the denials, the allegations have cost Geldof her lucrative contract with Ultimo.
The star fronted their Miss Ultimo campaign at U.K. department store De benhams - but bosses have cut ties with Geldof amid concerns she is no lo nger a "positive role model".
A company spokesperson tells Britain’s The Sun, "We have been in meetin gs all morning with regards to the stories that have surfaced over the we ekend about Peaches and unfortunately we have no option but to terminate her contract.
"Miss Ultimo is a brand geared towards a young female audience and, as a company, we have a social responsibility to ensure we are promoting onl y positive role models that young women can aspire to.
"We are thus in the process of removing Peaches from the website and we are working with Debenhams to remove her visuals from all Miss Ultimo sh ops and window displays throughout the U.K."
