Courtney Love credits hypnotist Paul McKenna for her skinny new look

She consulted him after using conventional dieting methods to shed more than three stone, which she had piled on after quitting drugs, mirror reports.

A source said said: ‘She is skeletal now. Her weight would always yo-yo depending on whether she was doing drugs or not but then she cleaned up her act in rehab and replaced drugs with food. But Courtney is an addict and now she is addicted to losing weight.

‘She looks terrible. She needs to put on a stone at least.

‘Ever since she’s been seeing McKenna for hypnosis sessions, she’s lost more weight. It doesn’t look good but she thinks he’s a genius.’
