Claire Richards still worries about what people think of her. The 44-year-old singer - who has battled eating disorders and seen her weight fluctuate between a size eight and a 20 in the past - says that while she is still concerned by negative comments, such worries are "more fleeting" than they were when she was younger and in the spotlight.
