Fern

[corylus]

where was Fern Britton this moning? Out training?

[B00]

Probably in the back of the studio quaffing pork pies, trying to put the weight, that caused such a kerfuffle, back on again.

Oh ok- I dont know.

LOL LOL we all make mistakes in our life and Fern has been blo.dy stupid. Fronting a high profile TV show, be a leader for fat women, pontifcating on weight loss and encouraging fat women to face a life of contentment.
4stone weight loss in 2yrs by diet and exercise alone??
In an interview 2yrs ago she said that she was a size 16..lies, she looked a size 22 at least. She said that she had inner contentment with her weight......then why gastric surgery. It would have been more honest of her to say "look folks for only �6,000 you too can lose weight. But wait she is the woman's woman and how many women could afford �6.000, so she decided not to mention the major cause of her weight loss. GASTRIC BAND.
None of us are perfect and we all make mistakes BUT I feel that a high profile woman of the people has let us down.

She is a hypocrite. She took money from Ryvita and several celeb magazines for articles that said she was happy to be fat, then that she had lost the weight through dieting and cycling. This was a lie!

It is dificult to lose weight, but it is like these celebs who say that they have never had a faceliflt or Botox and look 20 years younger than they actually are. It's not the fact that they did it, it is the fact that they lied about it.

I wonder if Ryvita will ask for their �200,000 back?

[Rtaxron]

I didn't see it Monday/Tuesday, did she apologies to the viewers after it came out in the media at the weekend?

Untwist your knickers.The only person whose business this is is Fern Britton.Mote,eye,plank anyone.

[carolegif]

I should think it is Ryvita's business if they gave her �200,000, not to mention the magazines who paid her the money!

What about all those women who believed her! She has let them all down

[hollie1586]

i dont care.....i love fern lol i say good for her!!

[Drisgirl]

I dont -sorry to say -I'm not overtly fond of her anyway but I think what she did was sneaky -she just quite simply didnt have to say anything about her weight loss and then she wouldnt have been lying.

I wondred why she wasnt on today as well -you didnt look happy when i caught the TV last couple of days -does anyone know if she did comment on it?

She is too far up her own arse and so is her giggling sidekick with their public school humour -they do rankle me somewhat -its like an in-joke between them all the time - and thats not professional.

she did comment on the operation, is that what youre on about

[bigsister]

As someone waiting for a GB op, [in August, I hope] I did not like the dishonesty, made me feel that I ought to be ashamed of it. I always looked to her as a woman of size who I could admire. I did not like the way she made silly jokes on her show on the Monday about wanting cake, and being hungry. Obviously she still cannot be honest, one thing she wont be after this op is hungry, thats the point. Also she said she now has starter and pudding? Surely when the ammount of food you can eat is so restricted, you need to eat as much nutricious food as poss, not puddings!
She missed a good chance to tell her fans the truth, she might have helped a lot of people.
