MARIAH Carey’s weight has “exploded” over the past year, it has been claimed.

The Touch my Body hitmaker has apparently piled on a whopping 42 pounds since getting married last year — and her pals are ordering the 177 pound star to shape up.

“Mariah’s weight has exploded,” a source close to the singer told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“When Mariah and Nick married in April 2008, she weighed 135 pound.

“But once she settled into married life and got comfortable, Mariah gave up the steamed veggies and broiled fish diet and the Pilates and water-aquatics workouts.

“Over the past year, Mariah has been gorging on mac ‘n’ cheese, fried chicken, caviar, surf & turf and flutes of champagne.

“From day one, Nick said he likes Mariah thick or thin, but lately, even Nick is urging her to rein in her partying, cut back on alcohol and start counting calories.

“She is in danger of passing the 200-pound milestone if she doesn’t get her weight in check.”
