So talk is she is a size 12 and 10 stone .

Not that its any of my business BUT things like this really annoy me...Makes us mere mortals feel like fat whales...

Why can't they just be honest about it..?

That dress btw is from oasis (i think or warehouse) and there is no way its a 12...I tried it on ages ago and looked like she does..a mess .

no way

She is slowly turning into her mum who is an ugly fat heifer. Sadly it's in her genes and no plastic surgery can help that in the long run...

I think this is becoming a little cruel - she doesn't look bad at all for having had four children in five years or whatever- but the clothes she's wearing are dreadful.

lou33 · 14/08/2008 18:01

i was nice!

andyrobo237 · 14/08/2008 20:41

Size 12 with them norks - never in a month of sundays! A girl I know reckoned she was a size 14 and she weighted 13 stone and had large norks - more like an 18!

Where does she shop to say she is a size 12 - I can never see her being a size 8 again - the popstars like that all starve themselves and do drugs / cigarettes, apparently!!!

ForeverOptimistic · 14/08/2008 20:48

She probably is a size 12 as she is a short arse like me. I'm about that size and I'm a size 12 (only 5.2). Even when I was a size 10 I was a porker. Before I had ds I was a size 6 and I was slim but by no means skinny. Us shorties have a very different build to you long legged gals.

bozza · 14/08/2008 21:02

She looks a million times better in the photo on the article that minko linked to. I'm with fio - why is she wearing slippers out and about and why is Jason Donovan wearing socks and toe post flip flops? Utterly bizarre.

I am 5' 4, weigh 11 stone and am a size 12. I am big boned though with wide shoulders but a waist so might need a 14 in a jacket but could easily do a 10 in a flary skirt. So I think she could be a 12.

pippibluestocking · 14/08/2008 21:07

I'm 5'5, 9 stone and size 12 - and since Warehouse is quite small in its sizing, I'd probably be a 14 there (pear shaped, big hips and bottom) - no way is KK a 12!

ThatBigGermanPrison · 14/08/2008 21:11

She is the same height as me. And a similar shape. And, at a guess, as similar build, and I am a 16(even 18) on top and a 14 - 16 on bottom.

not a 12, unless I go to peacocks and try on their army type trousers. Then I'm a 12.

MmeLindt · 14/08/2008 21:13

She is not fat, she has appalling dress sense. Or rather no dress sense.

Where were the fashion police when she left the house in that black and white dress?

I think that if she dressed better and bought some decent bras she would look a stone lighter.

lol spidermama .

Ok, think I better rephrase it....yes a size 12 can = 10 stone BUT I still DON'T think she is 10 stone... .

And for the comments that she has just had a baby, yadda yadda..so did I 3 years ago and 16 months ago BUT I don't claim to be a size 6 .

btw, I quite like kk, in a way that im intrigued iykwim by her and do feel sorry for how her life has gone...just for those who feel I may be a tad bitchy .

btw, I NEVER said she was fat. Just NOT a size 12...

MmeLindt · 14/08/2008 21:26

I know that you did not, but obviously KK does not agree or she would not be considering surgery

OrmIrian · 14/08/2008 21:30

size 12??

If she's a 12 I'm a f*ing skeleton and should by rights be dead.

Mind you I suspect she is about 2 foot shorter than me and also I do have discrete, portable breasts.

navyeyelasH · 14/08/2008 21:37

She can be a 12; I am the same sort of build and a 12/14 maybe 16 in low rise jeans etc from some places! I'm 5ft2, 36E quite chesty, and weigh 10.5 stone. Also that dress is different form the Warehouse one, the Warehouse one has stripes!

shhhh · 14/08/2008 21:38

thing is I guess noone is really happy with their figure.....
and what Im trying to say is that articles like this don't make us women feel any better as we think....god she is a size 12 and looks like that....or fern britton is a size x etc...

If only celebrities were honest OR the people writing the articles used facts...

lizziemun · 14/08/2008 21:42

Is she has £15000 for this makeover surely she would be better paying of her debts before she is made bankupt.

cornsilk · 14/08/2008 21:48

She would be better off shifting that tosser she's with who's teasing her about her weight (according to the article) So what if she's a bit plumper than before her kids? I think she should just get a makeover and forget about the weight thing.

cornsilk · 14/08/2008 21:49

By makeover I mean clothes, hair - not surgery.

shhhh · 14/08/2008 21:52

guess she is planning on paying off the debts (within 2 weeks as suggested) and then surgery..thats the way I read it anyway..

She could well be a 12, I am 5ft 9 and my friend is 5ft 1", at Uni I was always a dress size (or two) more than her, even though she was definitely carrying more excess than me. At the time, you'd have said I was slim (why didn't I realise it?) and that she was "plump". I still remember the shame of trying on her size 10 skirt and not being able to do the zip up, when it fit her well. Now I would struggle to get it above my knees .
I agree, the main think KK needs to do is get rid of her leech of a husband, he seems to be draining her of confidence and money.
Hasn't she only just had a baby anyway?

bozza · 16/08/2008 22:22

D'you mean shoe, fio?

twinsetandpearls · 16/08/2008 23:35

Does it really matter FGS, there is nothing worse than seeing women tearing into another woman based on som unflattering pictures in a rag like the mail. If you need to know that Kerry Katona is a size bigger than you to maintain your self esteem you are the one with issue.

Self righteous rant over back to my online shopping.

shhhh · 17/08/2008 19:53

t&p, for your information I don't need to know that kk is a size bigger than me for my own self esteem..

Its irrelevant if Im a size 0 or a size 28 BUT if you read the thread, what annoys me is celebrities being shown to be a size x when its quite clear that they are not.

imo, that does nothing for girls & women respecting themselves and more to the point neither does the way she intends to get rid of the "weight". Im not bothered if KK or fern brittan is tiny or massive BUT don't lie..!
Now, thats my rant over..!

OP posts:

twinsetandpearls · 17/08/2008 21:04

You began by saying that kerry katona's "lie" made mere mortals feel fat. This implies that if she said "oh ok than shh I am a 16" you would feel better about yourself. I am overweight and as a PD teacher I both have body issues myself and have discussed this with many teenagers. Not once has anyone said to of I feel low because a celebrity may not be fully truthful about their weight.
I do agree though about this worrying trend to resort to surgery rather than eating less and moving more.
