KIM Kardashian flaunted her toned arms and chest as she donned a white tank top in a sneak peek of season three of The Kardashians.

The clip was played during the launch of Friday’s episode of The View.

In it, Kim (42) had a heart-to-heart with her mother, Kris Jenner, about her love life.

“Do you think you’re one of those people who can’t really be alone?” the 67-year-old momager asked her daughter.

“No, I love being alone in the back,” Kim replied with a big smile on her face.

Although Kim’s romance has been a hot topic in the media lately, it was the model’s leaner-than-ever physique in the clip that raised eyebrows.

The Skims founder sat on the floor and hugged her knees with her arms, showing off her strong muscles in a skin-tight top and her blonde locks flowing straight down.

Kim was previously known for her hourglass figure when she rose to reality TV fame on her family’s former E! series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and now their spin-off series, The Kardashians.

But in recent months, her curves have appeared to slim down after she dropped more than 20 pounds for her iconic Met Gala appearance last year.

She now showcased a much slimmer frame in skimpy ensembles – one being a cropped top, loose black trousers and a baggy coat as she stepped out in New York City on Monday.

The TV personality was in town for a Hulu Upfront event she attended with her sister, Khloe, 38, to announce the renewal of The Kardashians.

‘REALLY STRUGGLING’

But her shrinking waist created buzz long before that, with sources claiming her hectic work schedule could be to blame.

An insider told The US exclusively late last year: “Kim always looks amazing, but she’s good at keeping how stressed she is hidden.

“She is the thinnest she has ever been and barely sleeps. Her family knows that much of this is her recovery from a very controlling marriage, and her determination to show [her ex-husband] kanye [West] how much better it is without him.”

The source concluded: “But while she used to be incredibly healthy and well-rested, she’s now constantly giggling and finding it hard to fit in workouts. I think Kim is really struggling, but won’t admit it.”

They added that Kim “doesn’t want to gain weight because she thinks she’s never looked better than she does now.

“She loves how thin she is and wants to stay that way.

“She says she plans to lose another two pounds because then she’s below her ideal weight and it won’t matter if she fluctuates a little.”

SKINNY SISTERS

Concerns about Kim flared up again this year after she posted a photo of herself with a pint of Guinness while in London in March.

Fans noticed the TV star’s size and questioned whether she actually drank her beer.

One social media user worried: “She’s so small.”

Kim’s sister Khloe – who has lost 60 pounds – received similar comments about her slimmer figure after showing off her drastic body transformation.

Khloe recently shared a throwback photo of the siblings showing off their former bikini bodies, which look noticeably different from their currently petite frames.

The duo regularly posts their strict diets and intensive exercise regimes on social media, raising concerns that they have gone too far with their weight loss efforts.
