‘The Crown’ star Claire Foy says she had internal parasites for ‘at least five years’

Claire Foy has revealed that she had to change her diet after finding out that she was housing some unwanted guests.

Speaking on the “Table Manners” podcast on Wednesday, the “The Crown” star told hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware that she had given up drinking caffeine, before going on to explain why.

“Quite a few years ago, I had parasites. Gross,” she said.

“I kept losing weight and I didn’t know what was going on,” said Foy, 41, who said she thinks she picked up the parasites in Morocco, and had them for “at least five years” before she found out.

“They travel as a pair, I got told by the doctor. Gross, absolutely rank. It’s disgusting,” said Foy, who is best known for playing Queen Elizabeth II in the hit Netflix series “The Crown,” as well as for roles in the BBC dramas “Wolf Hall” and “A Very British Scandal.”
