Alison Moyet on graham norton-she looked better when a bit porky I think

[brimfull]

non?

[Earlybird]

I didn't see it.

How much weight would you guess she lost? Is she thin now? Did she talk about how/why she did it?

[brimfull]

she's on now
no talk of her weight loss but I remember her in 80's as much bigger
she's prob been thin for 20yrs though??

[Earlybird]

Ahh - I'm not in the UK, so can't watch.

[BettyTurnip]

Never mind Alion Moyet - Johnny Vegas makes me feel physically ill.

[SlartyBartFast]

poor girl who he kissed

[SeeYouAtDartsDarling]

She has the gastric-band thin hair look going on. Hopefully she is happy and healthy.

Terrible singing which was a shame.

[brimfull]

yes she didn't sound as good as I remembered

[SlartyBartFast]

i was pleasantly surprised by her singing

must be my ears

[Poledra]

Glad I didn't see it then - I loooove Alison Moyet

[SeeYouAtDartsDarling]

[brimfull]

me too
love her

[BettyTurnip]

"Is this love?" der der der derrrrr...I'm 15 again

[MoominmammasHandbag]

There was some old eighties footage of Alison Moyet on the other night. In my memories she was absolutely huge.

In actual fact she looked about a size 16.

I think our perception of what we regard as overweight has changed enormously in the past 25 years.

[brimfull]

yes she wasn't that big
she did wear huge tent like clothes though didn't she?

there wasn't the choice then

I remember the largest bra size in marks was 38dd and they were few and far between

[BiscuitFace]

she is alot older which may contribute to her looking a wee bit worse.

agree she wasn't that big but she had a whole eighties baggy clothes thing going on.

[BunnyLebowski]

here ya go

She doesn't look great imo but she's fab anyway!

[SuedeEffectPochette]

Now when I was 15 she was fatter than me by a long way. I thought she looked great on Graham Norton (and sounded great too). These days, not only is she much thinner than me, she also seems to be younger too!

[mrsjay]

I wondered where she went there was nothing of her, I suppose she likes the way she is and that is all that matters but...

[mrsjay]

I remember she opened a larger size clothes shop with dawn french in the early 90s ?

[EleanorFarjeon]

I think she looks much better thin than fat.

[SwedishEdith]

I thought she looked great. She's nearly 52

[mrsjay]

I just think itis the dramatic change that got people

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

I didn't know it was her. I was only half watching and I just thought bugger me, that woman sounds like Alison Moyet. Whatever happened to her...

[siezethenight]

She did an interview a while back, about 2010 I think. Said that she lost the weight as she did not want to be dependent upon people caring for her as/when she got older. She said she was fiercely private and it bothered her that somebody might have to come take care of her if she was old and unhealthy and big. She's lost a lot more weight since that interview though, I think anyhow. I can't remember where I read it, sorry...
