Gogglebox’s Scarlett Moffattrecently admitted that she needs to “sort herself out and lose weight” after a doctor told her she was at risk of developing diabetes.
Speaking honestly to heat, she explained: “I have been tested for diabetes because my BMI puts me in the danger zone.
“It was a real scare and I know I need to sort myself out and lose weight.”
We love her no-nonsense attitude SO much!
However, while most people praised Scarlett for her honesty and determination to improve her health, some people decided to use her words against her.
The Sun's Kelvin Mackenzie took to his column to declare that the Gogglebox star is “no role model for young girls”, before making a string of cruel jokes about her weight.
He said: “It appears Ms Moffatt has not only sat on the tuffet but eaten it as well…
“Ms Moffatt reveals that the doc also said her BMI was too high.
“He didn't have the courage to mention her BMB — Bloody Massive Bum.”
Seriously?
Fans immediately leapt to her defence sending a flurry of supportive messages to the Gogglebox star - with many penning a few choice words for Kelvin mackenzie to chew over.
And it wasn’t too long before Scarlett waded in to have HER say on the matter.
However Scarlett, choosing to rise above the comments about the whole affair, kept things VERY dignified indeed.
Tweeting to her 311,000 follower, she wrote: “Thanks everyone for all the amazing tweets.
“Don't worry I'm a tough cookie - lovely to know people care.”
What a class act, eh?
Fans definitely seemed to agree with us, with one typing: “Keep it up Scarlett.
“Nice one.”
