It's party season and it can prove to be a real headache, even for our favourite celebs.

With the pressure to look good never so high, and with hectic showbiz commitments to fulfil, even over the festive season, many celebs are adding a secret weapon to the star armoury - a hangover cure.

James Bond hunk Daniel Craig likes to sweat it out while Cameron Diaz is a junkie for junk food when it comes to the morning after the night before.

Here we uncork these and more secret hangover cures in the hope that we might all cope with the aftermath of those Christmas and New Year parties a little better this year.

"You're best off sweating it off after a heavy night. I find if I really can't force myself to work out and get my body moving, a stint in the sauna is the best way to go."

"A sausage and bacon sarnie usually does me. I also have a big glass of orange juice and a sugary cup of tea. The combination of vitamins and sugar perk you up. I usually take that back to bed with me, have a little sleep afterwards then get in the shower to really wake me up."

"My hangover cure is simple - don't get one. I don't live at full tilt the way I used to. I hate waking up with the kind of hangover you get from going on huge benders with your buddies. Also, since my neck surgeries, I've been forced to take things easier and not beat up my body the way I used to. I'm more cautious."

"My perfect hangover cure would have to be egg sandwiches. I love them."

"I do occasionally overindulge, especially at this time of year when I like to gather together my head chefs for a well-earned Christmas drink. I'll get a cab home, safe in the knowledge that Tana (my wife) will have bought in all the ingredients for a kedgeree to fend off the next morning's hangover. It's the best, as the slight stodginess soaks up any remaining Southern Comfort. It's not a 100 per cent cure, but then we're supposed to suffer a little... aren't we?"

"A full English breakfast is good, or beans on toast. That kind of does the trick for me."

"A cup of tea followed by cheese and onion crisps, a Mars bar and two cartons of Ribena."

"An Egg McMuffin from McDonald's and a beer. You have to drink more of the alcohol you've killed yourself with. Hair of the dog, that's what it is. And you have to get grease. Grease is the only cure for a hangover."

"Being a parent is my big hangover cure. About a year ago I'd had a couple of beers and my daughter Zahara had this piece of ice that had been dropped on the floor, and she was putting it in her mouth and began to choke on it, and that was it. You have to be absolutely on top of every situation. The other s**t doesn't work any more. When they wake up in the middle of the night you have to be there. And you can't deal with children when you have a hangover - that's just a misery."

"I'll drink lots of tomato juice, have fresh fruit, an avocado and take loads of vitamins!"
