The secret behind the tight fitting dress worn by Actress NICOLE KIDMAN at last Sunday's (24th February 2002) BAFTA awards ceremony has been revealed - the flame-haired actress only ate carrots.

The MOULIN ROUGE (2001) star squeezed into a tight fitting Yves Saint Laurant dress and at the lavish post-awards dinner in London's Grosvenor House, Nicole forfeited the three-course meal, or any alternative, to spend an hour nibbling her way through the a single carrot, while sitting beside her, movie mogul HARVEY WEINSTEIN and director BAZ LUHRMANN tucked into fillet steaks.

A fellow diner reveals, "If she didn't have much breathing space, she certainly didn't have any eating space. "
