Kirsie Allsopp - Size 12-14 Reeeeaaaalllyy ?

[rookiemater]

Ok sorry link to Daily Mail httpwww.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2034066/Kirstie-Allsopp-reveals-shes-worlds-sexiest-ladies-vacation-vacation-vacation.html
Ok now normally I would tend to avoid posting DM links of ladies in their swimming garments, but as I am an actual 12-14 either I have an extremely postively distorted view of my own body ( unlikely) or KA is a somewhat bigger size.

Then not the.

Oooh do you think she'll be doing a Christmas homey special this year? I hope so.

Kirstie's a lovely lady, and she looks absolutely fab having fun on the beach with her children! ...DM shame on you!!!

I read in on of the weekend supplements (I forget which one) that there was a new craft programme coming out in the autumn, hurrah!!!

Ooohhh is there really another homemade homey thing coming soon? Love it!

I hate all this how fat/skinny this sleb is and all that... I'd hate it if I suddenly appeared on the DM in a swimming costume whilst people debated my size!

There's so info about it here:kirstieallsopp.co.uk/

Also a craft book coming out too

Bugger ...here:kirstieallsopp.co.uk/

Hmm bizarre, that is the correct web address! Oh well!

Rookie - this isn't KA saying she is 12/14. This is the DM saying that she is.
They make up this sort of crap all the time.

That sounds right to me, in fact I am a 12-14 and I'm quite a bit taller than her, and look probably about the same in a swimming costume. She is beautiful and rather sexy IMO.

I think this a rather mean thread. I like Kirstie Allsop, and I know DH really like Kirstie Allsop.. and his friends fo too.

But they all feel a bit weird about because she is proper mumsy

How is it a mean thread when nearly everyone is saying the DM is mental, the OP openly says it's about her own body image, and pretty much everyone agrees that she looks great and is great?
I'm another one who hearts her big time. I think that photo is fabulous and only wish I could be as voluptuous. Not a backhanded compliment!

I dunno, she's clearly not a size 12. realistically, she's a bit fat but if she's happy with her body, good for her.

I know middle age men who fantasise about Nigella and Kirstie.

Since I am that size, whatever it may be (def not a 12!) I am going to dye my hair black and have some elocution lessons!

Don't be so empty as to tweet where you are then if you don't want to be papped.

Why does the Dm say "self-confessed size 12"? She isn't a 12 so that can't be true, ie she can't have confessed it. And what's to "confess"?

And, agree about it's her ilk that have got people property greedy. She's not lovely.

I'm fairly sure that the DM femail staff are involved in some form of competition to see who can attribute the most ludicrous sizes to 'sleb photos.

It really is endemic over there.

Bellany I think a thread devoted to how big someone is and how they are clearly bigger than a 14 is mean and unnecessary. If this were a real life conversation about you by some of your friends would you consider it mean? Also I belive a few posters have said shes the "fat line" or something like that

I'm a size 12-14 and looking at her thinking gosh I really need to diet. I probably do look similar to her.

It's a bit like when Fern Britton (who I LOVE) was reported as being a size 16. This was before the gastric band business.

id also say 12 - 14 is about right. im 5ft 3 1/2 tall and i would say i look the same in a swimsuit. im a size 12 -14. hence the diet. (that never farking works anymore cos i work bizarre shifts and undereat then overeat but thats another story altogether)

I think she dresses really well for her shape/build, but she's clearly not a 12-14, at least a 16 I'd say. Good on her for getting stuck in on the beach rather than running for cover, at least she didn't do a Nigella with a burkini.

Confessed to being a 12. Makes it sound like a shootable offence! Or is that size 12 in celebrity terms?

I'm 5'8" and a size 18/20 depending and it would be good if more folk were just honest. If others don't like it then tough for them. (I have to say that I recently dyed my hair purple so might be going through a phase before I turn 40 myself.)

Kirstie is good fun though, love her Home Made Home as I'm twee and crafty myself! I also covet many items in her wardrobe.

My lower half looks like that and I wear a 14. My boobs are sadly not so perky

I have that cozzie, tis great as it sucks you in and gives great boob lift with no underwire.

As you were.

I'm impressed. It looks freezing.
