...right now, sharing how she breastfed all her babies and how it was the best thing for baby and great at getting her back into shape.

She looks fab, too!

i love her

expatinscotland · 04/04/2008 19:13

oh, yes, with those fake tits.

what a role model!

'i used the natural way to get my shape back'.

uh huh, with all the help you could hire, too.

almost as realistic as that fake blonde hair of hers.

Lol expat! I can't stand her, she reminds me of Myleene Klass, another one who goes through life with a tick box sheet.

Yes, osyth, discouraging women to have plastic surgery with about a kilo's worth of silicone and saline in her chest.

Way to go!

I sense your dislike of her expat. Have you met her? I have, she is lovely.

Well, I have never met her in person, but think she comes across as really down to earth and seems to have grown up a lot since her "modelling" days....and she does seem to be very committed to motherhood...so what if she has fake boobs...at least she hasn't gone over the top with it, lol!
And good on her to talk about breastfeeding in such positive way

liath · 04/04/2008 20:18

I thought she came across really well.

expatinscotland · 04/04/2008 20:21

What, I'm not allowed to have an opinion if I haven't met her.

I don't have a problem with people with fake tits. It's when they go off pontificating to others about how 'natural' is better than plastic surgery that it seems a bit hypocritical.

I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion. I was merely pointing out that my opinion of her is based on more than her fake tits.

I'd be surprised if she's managed to BF if her breasts really are fake - maybe she's just got great tits and never had surgery???

expatinscotland · 04/04/2008 20:26

For the third time, it's NOT the fact that her tits are fake, it's that she goes around pontificating about how it's better to be 'natural' when she's been enhanced herself.

expatinscotland · 04/04/2008 20:26

she's admitted to have breast augmentation, liath.

and besides, what celeb is going to come out and admit they didn't BF? well, jlo excepted.

TheBlonde · 04/04/2008 20:39

apparently if the implants are put under the muscle then you should still be able to bf - don't know if this is true or not!

liath · 04/04/2008 20:41

I think I'm talking out of my arse - breast reduction can bugger up BF, whoops.

expatinscotland · 04/04/2008 20:41

you can definitely BF with implants.

FourPlusOne · 04/04/2008 20:45

I always thought she seemed nice, have heard her talking about her PND before also. Apparently had it quite badly with at least one of her children (maybe 2).

Islamum · 04/04/2008 20:46

Well shes much better than that bloody katie price who bizarrly seems to keep being nominated as a good role model???

JingleyJen · 04/04/2008 20:49

or worse bloody Kerry who has won mother of the year 3 years in a row - even though she has been off her head on coke for 2 of those..

(sorry for forthright opinions.. have had too much wine)

3andnomore · 04/04/2008 20:49

is she blond again, by the way....must admit, I preferred her when she was blond over what she had a while back....some darker shade...

also Expat, did she say she chose the natural way to get back into shape...? I didn't watch teh programme and obviously in the op , I assume, the exact words she used weren't used...

expatinscotland · 04/04/2008 21:00

yes, she said she chose the natural way of diet and exercise over surgery.

offtobuttonmoon · 04/04/2008 21:28

We must give some credit to Les!!

He was the one who brought up BF wasn't he?

princessmama · 04/04/2008 21:42

Isn't she a fan of Steiner schools or suchlike for her dcs? I quite like her from what I've seen and I don't think she should be judged on the basis of her implants.

PollyPentapeptide · 04/04/2008 21:42

I have never met her myself but I know a number of people who grew up with her and still see her now and apparently she is one of the lovliest and most genuine people you could meet. Very bright and warm personality (fake tits or no)

FatZakAteAllTheEggs · 04/04/2008 21:45

I used to watch her on some baby programme when I was expecting DS and surprised myself that I actually found her quite watchable. I've heard her talking about PND and she came across very well.
