Former Dancing On Ice contestant Coleen Nolan has blasted TV bosses for giving all the good jobs to skinny women.
The TV presenter stands at 5ft 7, weighs about 12st and is a size 16 and in an interview with Closer she said:
“Tell me why there are no women over a size 12 on prime-time telly.”
“I’m sick of feeling I should disappear from TV because I’m not a size 8.”
“There’s too much pressure on female presenters to look a certain way.”
Coleen, 45, who champions women’s issues in her role as a panellist on Loose Women, admits she’s kept a low profile for the last six months because her weight gain had really dented her confidence.
“If you look at the picture of me at the National TV Awards only last month, you’ll see I’m dressed head to toe in black,” she admitted.
