Golden girl Jennifer Aniston reportedly experienced a tangerine nightmare recently when her sun bed broke the day before an important photo shoot.

The Friends actress – famous for her honey complexion – was left horrified at the thought of being a whiter shade of pale when her bed went bust.

Apparently fearing that she may blind the cameras with her white skin, Jen immediately invested in, not one, but two Wolff sun beds to see her through the winter months.

A source tells Star, "She freaked out because the next day, she had a major photo shoot.

"She had to go to a public tanning place. She learned her lesson after that - always have a back-up."

Maybe Jen should give the UV rays a rest and fake it like the rest of us!
