Cupping is an ancient technique that involves placing cups containing reduced air pressure (suction) on the skin to ease pain and remove toxins.

The actress was voted as the most admired celebrity for her "health-styles", with Cheryl Cole, Madonna, Holly Willoughby and Kelly Brook leading the way (respectively).
