Singer-actress Jennifer Hudson has become addicted to shopping ever since she has lost weight.

The Oscar-winning star has recently dropped five dress sizes and says she is now more into fashion because she likes to show off her figure in stylish clothes, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

'I am like, wow! This is what I look like?,' said Hudson.

'I have a serious shopping problem now. Each city we go to, my suitcase won't hold my new clothes so we have to box them up and ship them home,' she added.
