Rebecca from Bbeebies is far too thin, no?

I have no idea if she is intentionally that skinny or whether it's natural (i suspect not) but to me she just looks emaciated and it bothers me that my children will think that she is a normal shape for a grown woman. She looks pale and tired and her head looks disproportionately large. Not a great role model.

She's completely normal and looks gorgeous. There's a few green eyed monsters here I think.

I was a size 8 in my early 20's (size 10 now), and would get comments all the time. I was actually physically touched and on two occasions grabbed hold of, by total strangers whilst they exclaimed at how slim I was. Hmm It made me feel like I was freakish. I wasn't! Everyone who did it was overweight so presumably their perception had become skewed. I did not have an eating disorder or even take much notice of what my weight/body was doing. I was young and naturally that size.

I'm also very pale. How healthy I'm feeling has zero effect on this. To think someone's health has am influence on their skin colour is quite frankly weird. Confused

Totally besides the point, but having seen her in 'Let,s Play' I think she is a wonderful actress. She is brilliant at playing boys, girls, men and women. She is naturally gorgeous but will pull faces and doesn't mind what she looks line when in role. And she comes across as genuinely warm and caring and fun. I love her.

NorwegianBirdhouse · 27/03/2015 09:37

Oh, and I have never thought she is too thin. Just fit and full of energy.

I don't know who she is but as a naturally thin and extremely pale person I'd like to say she might be perfectly normal. Also o agree with pp that some people's perception is all skewed.

Funnily enough I watched CBeebies this morning and thought that she looked like she had lost weight. I think it might be that she ain't 18 anymore and suddenly her face looks gaunt. I assumed she might have been ill or had something difficult happen in her personal life.

Yy id probably agree with sebs mummy

She was in our local panto this Christmas and looked pretty normal to me. Thin, certainly, but not unwell. Lots of people are thin, we aren't all supposed to look the same. We are supposed to be Different shapes, sizes, colours etc.
