Kimberley Walsh on the media’s obsession with size

Girls Alous singer Kimberley Walsh talks to Cosmopolitan Body about the media's fixation on weight.

If you have a Cosmo magazine subscription then you may know that the magazine has a spin-off magazine that focuses on fitness and healthy lifestyles, Cosmopolitan Body.

On the cover of the latest issue is Girls Aloud’s Kimberley Walsh. The singer chats to the magazine about the pressures of having the perfect body and the media’s constant commentary on how much celebrities weigh.

"There's always been an obsession with weight, but I've definitely noticed it getting a lot more intense over the past ten years," she says.

"One thing I think adds fuel to the fire is the constant commentary on people's weight [in the press]. It annoys me, because a lot of the time it's not even correct.

"I've read so many stories about myself where I supposedly weigh one thing in one picture, then another thing in another picture - when I know for a fact I was exactly the same weight in both pictures. One of them is just a bad angle!"
