Who's dared utter those words on the Sex And The City set?

Fret not, it's not Sarah Jessica Parker and the gang.

Rather, the male stars have apparently been told to slim down.

Yup, Big, Steve and co are watching what they eat.

Female first reports that David Eigenberg, who plays Miranda Hobbes' husband, Steve Brady, has said: "It's harder to be a man on Sex And The City than a woman.

"They (the producers) can't tell the women to lose weight. They tell the guys to lose weight. They told me to lose a couple of pounds.

"You should have seen me three months ago. I was fat. I dropped 20 pounds (nearly 1.5st)."
