Skinny VS Curvy Celebrities

5 months ago 05th Jan 15:00

The New Year inevitably brings a whole host of new celebrity fitness DVDs being released, along with said celebrity posing in a skimpy bikini to show off their new figure.

Despite them claiming to be happier and healthier with their new thin frames, is that really the case, or does it just start that inevitable yo-yo period where their weight goes up and down?

Does being thinner necessarily guarantee being happier and what do they do once they've reached that target weight? well, they have to work out twice as hard to keep it off, and like any normal person are likely to slip up.

Celebs have a hard time with their weight really, especially women who have to go through all that trauma of loosing the weight in the first place, and do it in the public eye as well.

With that in mind, we've taken a look at those celebs who have slimmed down over the past year, to see exactly how it's effected them and their careers.

Kerry Katona

Kerry turned to cosmetic surgery to shift those extra pounds after her pregnancy weight and poor diet contributed to her flabby frame. The former I'm a Celebrity star spent a whopping £15,000 on her new body, posed in a bikini for a series of men's mags and them promptly blew it all, when she slurred her way through the now infamous This Morning interview, signaling a new period of depression for the star.

Fern Britton

The British public was outraged when Fern was forced to admit that she'd had a gastric band fitted in secret two years ago, to help her loose weight. She has now slimmed to a size 14 from a size 22 and does look the picture of health, although we're not sure she's recovered from the public backlash against her, and she also reportedly admitted recently that being slimmer doesn't make her feel any happier.

Natalie Cassidy

Nat was one of the huge success stories of 2008, revealing her new tiny frame to a shocked public, having once been a size 16 she was now a size 8. Her fitness video became the top selling of the year and Nat was pictured looking happier than ever before. However, since then she had put more than 2 stone back on after admitting her regime was just too tough to stick to.

Mikyla Dodd

The former Hollyoaks actress has shed an incredible amount of weight in the past few years, and has reinvented herself as a sexy star. After taking part in celebrity fit club and launching her own keep fit video, Mikyla's future is now looking pretty bright as she landed a role in Casualty last year and is now in talks to appear in The Bill.

Claire Richards

The former Steps star was the picture of health during her band member days, although behind closed doors she's admitted to not eating properly. So consequently when the band broke up, Claire gorged on all her favourite foods ballooning to a size 22. Since then she's slimmed down to a size 12 and walked up the aisle late last year looking happy and healthy.
