Her arms just look way too thin, the article is not the greatest photos but a quick google makes her look even thinner.

She is way too thin. She has always looked beautiful but I think it's a step too far this time.

I hope she's okay and gets the help she needs if it is an underlying problem

Agree she is so pretty but way too thin.

I think she looks fine in the first link. Not too thin, as she still has breasts.
The second link is unflattering.

She said at the time (Mirror article from 8th July) that she had just lost her father in law & she felt there was no need for people to criticise women in the public eye's weight as they don't know what is going on in their lives.

wankerchief · 18/08/2015 20:26

And if she gains weight you will says she's too fat and a bad role model.

GloGirl · 18/08/2015 20:27

I really really really hate someone saying that a celebrity is 'too thin'.

Too thin for what? Reverse it to 'too fat' and you wouldn't post a thread.

But she still looks to slim today and before. Why should a loss of a father in law effect weight dramatically.

I think that she looks toned. The clothes that she's wearing emphasize her slim frame.

OrangeVase · 18/08/2015 20:30

Leave her alone. There are plenty of other people to worry about. Her weight is her own concern.

EmmaGellerGreen · 18/08/2015 20:32

Just imagine the fury that would be unleashed if you posted your opinion that someone was too fat. Why is it acceptable to "thin shame"?

jeronimoh · 18/08/2015 20:32

'Why should a loss of a father in law effect weight dramatically.'

That's an awful thing to say. She is supporting her husband through a very difficult time.

Fitzers · 18/08/2015 20:35

I can't believe you are actually calling into question the explanation she was probably forced to give to address all the nasty comments dressed up as faux concern (like this thread). Seriously, do you really think she owes you a better explanation?

Pepperpot99 · 18/08/2015 20:35

I think she looks ill.

ThisIsClemFandango · 18/08/2015 20:35

Why should a loss of a father in law effect weight dramatically.

Stress and bereavement can make some people lose weight.
I tend to lose weight when I'm stressed.
After I had a miscarriage I dropped to under 7 stone. Not intentionally, I often just didn't feel like eating and when I'm stressed sometimes food makes me feel sick. Some people eat more when they're going through hard times and some people are the opposite.

seaoflove · 18/08/2015 20:37

These threads always go the same way.

You can never comment that a celebrity is too thin. Some people are just "naturally" very skinny. It's only because society is so accustomed to seeing fat people as the norm yadda yadda.

I think she looks unhealthily thin, personally.

jasmine1979 · 18/08/2015 20:40

I have to say that I actually wondered if the dramatic weight loss was actually a cover for surgery that she's possibly had done to her face. Facially she looks so very different now to a few years ago.
I have no idea if she is too thin or not, however she doesn't look happy or healthy. Sad

NinaSimoneful · 18/08/2015 20:42

I think that she looks toned.

I think that she looks boned.

Bellebella · 18/08/2015 20:43

I feel a bit sorry for her and I am not a fan of her music at all or indeed her as a celebrity. It's not that she looks thin per say, but unhealthy and gaunt. I think there is a lot of pressure on her on X Factor and it shows on her body.

AlphabetStew · 18/08/2015 20:47

Cheryl Nandos Panini has always been very slight.

FoulsomeAndMaggotwise · 18/08/2015 20:48

I'll never understand why people do this to women. Stop body shaming.

Awholelottanosy · 18/08/2015 20:51

I saw her on a program at the weekend and almost didn't recognize her at first! Her face looked gaunt and it made her nose look massive! I was concerned for her as she's tiny anyway. I hope she's ok.

So even mentioning a celebs weight is body shaming.

So we are never allowed to talk about celebs looks / weight.

silverglitterpisser · 18/08/2015 21:00

She looks seriously underweight n this is not good, I would worry for her health I she was my daughter. This is also exactly what I would say if she looked seriously overweight. Both very concerning, especially if in a short space of time. We comment as she is in the public eye n it is shocking to c such a beautiful, vibrant woman appear ill. That is it.

Yanbu, OP.

SignoraStronza · 18/08/2015 21:00

I think she looks fabulous! She has issues with her cankles as far as I recall and in order to slim her legs down, her top half has to look emaciated first like me. She'll be a healthy weight I'd imagine, just wears clothing that disguises the bits she's self conscious about.
