Hello Diamonds2506

IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE THEN IT IS!!

Firstly, the girl's body shape was very distorted and it was obvious to me she was wearing a body suit.

The discription of how to use the cream and socks was dodgey because what about the body, how do you put a sock on your body?!!!

I definitely believe this is a very cruel, bad taste April Fool and I think GMTV should apologise to all those people out there who genuinely have dreadful problems trying to lose weight! People who have DREAMT about such a miracle cure, the ULTIMATE cure.... ITS BAD FORM GMTV... SHAME ON YOU!!

its is a april fouls trick. not a very good one.
on the gmtv web page at the bottom of the articil there is a link for more information it takes you to a page that say Service Unavailable at top of the page where the address is it says.

so its true its a april fouls trick. how mad are we to think it maybe real.

Companies are getting very rich peddling miracle weight loss cures that do not and cannot work - so it is very easy to fool desperate people.

The biggest fools trick in current vogue is colonic irrigation.

What on earth possesses people to pay a stranger to do that to them?

Truth Angel - totally agree with you! Shame on gmtv picking on vulnerable, easy targets.

[redbeauty]

I clicked on a link also to get more info.....and guess what?....it flashed up APRIL FOOL!!!!! I think that is very very bad! and I'm quite disgusted!

[slickchick74]

I'm afraid diamond this was an April Fool's joke by GMTV! I too watched it and was dubious and clicked on the link on their website and was told "April Fool" and i can also tell u they will prob get a lot of complaints on this from a lot of upset viewers!

This was a tasteless April Fools trick, I wouldn't have expected GMTV to stoop to this level. Isn't it obvious that there are so many of us wanting/needing to shed weight
and some people are so desperate that they'd try anything? Goodness knows why Lorraine Kelly got caught up in this scam when she has done countless features
regarding people and their wish to loose weight. Although
the girl used in the scam looked very odd, a bit like an American footballer with huge shoulders, some people were taken in by the product featured. OK GMTV, we'd like a laugh early in the morning but not at other peoples expense. Grow up!

I know that there are a lot of people around for whom weight is a very sensitive issue, but come on, surely this is a case for people to lighten up a bit. The feature could not have been more fake and ludicrous. And on April Fools Day when we're supposed to be watching out for these things.

Most people who complain will be those who feel a mite bit embarrassed and feel a bit stupid. Good! If it makes them more wary of spending hundreds of pounds on fake pills, supplements and treatments in future, and put more effort into a balanced diet and exercise above a quick fix, then they might actually be a step forward into feeling better about themselves.
