    8 stone and needing to lose weight?!

    I was pretty outraged to see Katie stand on the scales in tonight's episode and comment on how much weight she'd put on, taking her to 8 stone, a very low weight for a woman of her height I should imagine. She seemed to be horrified by weighing this amount, and I thought this sent out totally the wrong message to anyone watching the show. She seems to have personal battles with her body image, and I understand the nature of the programme is to show the couple 'warts and all'... but I think the decision to show this part on a show watched by many people - particularly young girls who presumably see her as a role model - was wrong. This is just the type of thing which makes people point the blame at celebrities and the media for the rise in body image problems and eating disorders in young people. I'm now watching her deliberate over breakfast because she wants to lose weight...Angry

    I was pleased to discover that this season of Peter and Katie is to cover their trip to the states (which apparently is to get the proper care for Harvey...or, was it launch Petes career...or maybe Katies career, Im not sure), Im just hoping that this time round they have the sense to stay in the states and NOT come back to this country.

    Seriously, are we not all getting tired of seeing so called celebrities on TV who make millions for being talentless, foul mouthed and talking total rubbish whilst playing upto the cameras.

     Trash...both of um.
