Pippa Middleton, who caused a sensation as bridesmaid at the royal wedding in April, has become the latest celebrity target for the pro-starving sites.

Pictures of Pippa, 27, wearing her bridesmaid dress appear on one of the websites under the shocking title: “Thin – or die trying.”

According to a media report, pro-anorexia websites have found a new ‘thinspiration’ in Pippa Middleton to target women and young girls.

This distressing development comes just days after the Daily Star revealed Kate, 28, featured on pro-anorexic sites which urge women and young girls: “Starve yourself to look this good.”
