    She is being labelles as 'fat' because she used to be 'thin' while in the public eye, and is bigger now than she was then, and because some people think it is okay to judge women by their weight, even when, like Claire, they look fine.
    I doubt she really cares, she seems quite happy .

    Even she thinks shes fat, mind she also thought she was when she was a size 10 - she said in OK last year that she had a really bad body image back then. She used to think she was the fat one of the girls, when she really wasn't. She was the one with the curves, Lisa and Faye were more naturally slim!
    .

    So she has a very distorted view on body image.
    Even I don't think a size 10 is fat. She is deluded.
    She looks bigger than a 10 now

    Lol, you're not butting in at all.

    I don't think Claire is really taking any notice at all. Shes just getting on with it.
    I'm actually surprised Carole Malone didn't have a dig at the weekend. She usually loves this. She was the one who slagged Emma Bunton off earlier this year for having 'thunder thighs'.
    Its funny cos Bill Borrows said in his column a couple of years ago (after a pic was in the paper of Claire with Faye at the Saucy Jacks press night) that Claire had never looked better. Yet a female columist slags her.

    God I hate that woman, note she has never slagged off Jades belly! There is something wrong with someone who sticks up for Jade Goody after CBB

    And as for this horse faced bint..the phrase double standards should be on her headstone.

    One bully supporting another, methinks.

    Malone was pretty relentless in her behaviour towards Anne Diamond on Celebrity Fit Club.

    She DID when she was in Steps, cos everyone around her was telling her she needed to lose weight, cos there were many a time there was a pic of her in the paper/mag with a slight tummy and they'd be saying she was pregnant.
    She DOESN'T think that anymore, not at all. She just wants to slim down to a size 12. She said in OK that in Steps she thought she was fat etc, but looking back now she so wasn't like that. I'm sure Jo O'meara went thro all that too in S Club and Mel C had that in the Spice Girls. Girls in pop bands are under a lot of pressure to be thin, as are many a young actress. Boys get it too, but its not as well talked about, sadly.

    Its obviously because the press are soooo obsessed with celebs putting on weight, as another poster said shes just had a baby, its no wonder theres idiot celebs having contests about who starves themselves the most after giving birth!

    I think pricesout would prefer her to be a size 0. Have you been out the house recently? Not everyone is a size 8, in fact, most people aren't, yet they still look attractive. She looks happy and healthy, and that's all that matters.

    She looks lovely and how you can be so rude is beyond me. You yourself must be perfect in weight and looks to be so critical and rude about others.

    I don't understand the obsession with Claire's weight anyway.

    It seems the tabloids are only interested in printing her picture again just because she has - shock, horror - gained weight.

    I think she looks fantastic in those wedding dress photos. Size 14 suits her.

    That's because she has put on weight and doesn't deny it.

    However, it isn't the heinous crime that some people would make it out to be. She's clearly lost some weight since the initial pics were taken anyway.

    Exactly. To lose weight, she must have been fat in the first place when people were saying she wasn't!! :rolleyes:

    She looks lovely in the last picture but I reckon a size 10 or12 would be her more ideal weight depending on what height she is.

    She was very thin in her Steps days, probably a size 8, and she admits she pretty much starved herself to stay that way, although the dance routines would have helped to keep the weight off as well.

    Crikey I would have guessed she was a 6 in those days!

    Well, maybe so!!

    Either way she was very slender, which is probably why the tabloids fell over themselves in 'shock' when she dared to gain some weight! :sleep:
