Courtney Love has revealed she uses TV hypnotist Paul McKenna to help control her weight.

The former Hole singer has told friends that she trusts McKenna, author of bestseller 'I Can Make You Thin', despite concerns over her dramatic loss of weight.

"I've known Paul for years," Love was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying. "I lost weight last year the old-fashioned way by dieting and living off protein shakes. But it was hard to stay disciplined.

"He's brilliant and is totally responsible for me staying so skinny. Whenever I start to feel my resolve weaken, I go to Paul for another hypnosis session."

Love is thought to have sought McKenna's advice after putting weight on after quitting drugs.
