To say that surely there is better news than Claire Richards in grey skinny jeans?

[Creamtea1]

Give the girl a break! and the pictures in the mail look like they've airbrushed her bottom half to make her look bigger.

Oh thank you Sparkling.

LSL

Oh her!

Okay, probably not actually interesting to anyone but me

(although it does give me a pretty accurate picture of how I probably look to other people. But without the fab accessories. And the Paparazzi. And the dark knowledge of LSL...)

I think it is ok to say people are over weight or fat however fat doesnt mean Ugly or repulsive imo ,

Also overweight people can be badly dressed just like anyone else.

She's a lovely looking woman but she looks better in dresses.

Considering she flogged a fitness DVD I think it's reasonable to discuss her weight

Also overweight people can be badly dressed just like anyone else.

of course they can arses in see through leggings

Funnily enough I was stunned when I saw her on a cookery show today because I thought I'd read she'd lost weight to tour with Steps again or something?

Either way, she's quite clearly fat.

But pretty too.

There's nothing much a long top doesn't improve TBH.

OMG - what's with all the pussyfooting around. She is fat. Very fat. She has allowed herself to pile on weight did any of you watch the documentary? She eats rubbish, lots of it!

Would people 'hold back' form saying t hat someone is too skinny - erm, usually not. This is what annoys the hell out of me.

I prefer 'overweight' to 'fat'.

Not everybody is that rude to point out what size a person's body is. Naming a person skinny or FAT is rude.

She's very attractive, but I blame the flat boots for this 'not so great' look.
Made her look v stumpy.

I really like her hair. Could I someone with fair hair get the same colour with a home dye?
What colour would that be, does anyone know?

Considering she flogged a fitness DVD I think it's reasonable to discuss her weight - quite agree.

And she had a film crew follow her to find out what her 'problem with food' is? She eats a lot, is in denial about how much she eats!! WATCH IT!

"n't work out whether she likes the attention or not?"

she will because she has a book out she wont mind I don't think

The documentary was brilliant, she eats a LOT - her burger king drive thru order was amazing..

I find her quite likeable and I think she's very pretty/attractive.

But when she lost weight for her wedding she had a fitness column for Closer and she would comment on other people's weight loss and then there would be a little scale icon saying something like Kerry Katona has put on more weight - must try harder.

Which I must say, I think was fucking rich.

Fine, Closer probably wrote the column and she just signed her name to it, but if you're prepared to get paid for commenting on other people's weight then you don't really have a leg to stand on when other people (i.e. journos) do the same to you.

Size sixteen/higher or size zero Claire will always have that beautiful skin and face.

I don't think anyone is pussyfooting around, thatsDope. Don't be annoyed.

And by far the best singer in Steps Sole.

Agreed Sparkilng. She has it all really doesn't she? Good luck to her I say.

"And by far the best singer in Steps Sole. "

I hope LSL doesnt read that she would stare into your soul and steal it

God, yes cream - I saw that. It was hardly and order placed by someone who cared about getting fat!!!

Have you got your hands in your knickers Sole?

Is it BBW day on here or summat?

She IS fat.

Just goes to show that how much dieting you do, if you don't get to the root of the emotional eating, the weight will probably come back

(looks sternly at self)

The DM probably makes it all up anyway. As if Claire R rings them up to say she's happy with her size, randomly!
