Lionel Richie blames himself for daughter Nicole's weight loss.

The 80s pop superstar singer says Nicole's weight plummeted during his highly publicised, expensive divorce to second wife Dianne Alexander.

Lionel is so worried about his adoptive daughter, 24, that he confronted her about her weight problem.

He told Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper: "When I saw how thin she was I was concerned and worried. I would love to see her with more meat on her."

The 'Hello' singer was relieved when Nicole finally admitted she had a weight problem in an interview with 'Vanity Fair' last week.

Nicole, who weighs just over six stone and is a tiny size 4 said: "I know that I'm too thin. I'm not happy with the way I look. I have a problem."

Lionel is pleased that Nicole is seeking help for her weight loss. He revealed: "I am glad Nicole has decided she needs to do something about it. She is daddy's little girl and of course I worry."

Tiny sized 4 - no way - she is more like a 00.

Yeah, sizes are like ages with women - you don't "lie up", you lie down!

Isn't a bit odd how he used to make excuses for her weight loss, now that she's admitted she has a problem - he's suddenly concerned also?

bc ppl with ed doesnt want it to be public and i think lionel didnt want to make it public. maybe nicole warned her.
now that she also admitted, he can talk bout it maybe...
