is, the skinnier she gets.”

It’s the second time in recent

months that Ange – who was

hospitalised due to eating disorders

as a teen – has alarmed friends

with her shrinking frame.

In March, Brangelina biographer

Ian Halperin told NW that, despite

being the one to blindside Brad

with divorce in September, the

ordeal took a huge toll on Ange.

“She lost a lot of weight... about

45lb [20kg]. The break-up was

extremely hard on her,” says Ian.

But while the latest drama has

Ange looking frailer than ever –

and her inner circle on high alert

• according to our insider, this
  dangerous secret is just Ange’s MO.
  “Whenever she’s going through
  hard times or feeling extremely
  stressed, it’s as if her default is to
  lose weight as a way to get control
  back over her life,” says the source.
  “She’s always done it to get Brad’s
  attention because she knows he
  worries about her.”
  And Ange’s older kids have also
  expressed their concern to Brad,
  who will no doubt rush to her side.
  “They really don’t want Ange
  to be hospitalised,” adds the
  insider. “Brad can’t believe this is
  where they are at again, but he’s
  got no choice but to help.” ■
