Christina Aguilera once felt forced to be a tiny size zero.

The 'Your Body' singer - who has been criticised for her curvier figure recently - has opened up about the pressure to be thin in the music industry and claims her record company once staged an intervention to get her to lose weight.

The 31-year-old 'The Voice' judge told Billboard magazine: 'During the promotion of my album 'Stripped', I got tired of being a skinny, white girl. I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl.

'The next time my label saw me, I was heavier, darker and full of piercings. Let me tell you, that wasn't an easy pill for them to swallow. I had gained about 15 pounds during promotion and during my 'Stripped' tour.

'They called this serious emergency meeting about how there was a lot of backlash about my weight. Basically, they told me I would affect a lot of people if I gained weight -- the production, musical directors.

'[They claimed] people I toured with would also miss out if I gained weight because I would sell no records or tickets for my shows.

'I was young, so I lost the weight quickly and was toothpick thin during 'Back to Basics' promos and touring.'
