Is big beautiful?
Recent reveals that the proportion of Britons who are obese has doubled in the last decade from 11% in 1999 to 23% this year.
So we sent Christopher Biggins out to ask "is it OK to be fat?"
Comedian Ricky Grover said to Christopher that "size discrimination should not stop people from achieving their dreams and ambitions. We need to accept fat people."
Cardiff journalist Hannah Jones said: "People in this country are fat phobic but I am proud to be fat. I am fed up with people staring at me when I eat a pasty - people eat pasties - Get over it."
But the experts at the say: "Obesity is fast becoming one of the developed world's most serious health problems. Being obese can take up to nine years off your life and make you far more susceptible to diabetes, heart disease, stroke and many other conditions."
