The 39-year-old is attempting to gain weight as part of a documentary programme where she will then also try and shed the pounds.

Katie has made a name for herself by blasting ‘fat mums’ and having a ‘no excuses’ attitude to the UK’s growing obesity problem.

According to her recent newspaper column, the mum-of-three has been eating 6,000 calories a day for the documentary.

She wrote: “So far I have eaten 13 ready meals a day. Chocolate bars, fizzy drinks, curries, chips, cake, cream - I've scoffed it all.”

“Instead of facing up to our problems, we super-size the world around us to fit,' Katie writes.

“Bigger models in shop windows, plus -sized uniforms for kids, wider seats at the movies. Anything but accept the cold, hard fact that in most cases we are big, fat and lazy because we eat too much and don't move enough.”
