Supersize vs Superskinny
Louise and Eddie (3x8)
Air date: May 11, 2010
Food hater Louise swaps diets with 39-year-old biker Eddie, who needs to change his diet before it's too late. And Anna Richardson gives up on perfection and accepts what she was born with.
Food hater Louise Tighe from Hartlepool weighs in at a miniscule six stone 13 pounds. She works long hours as a waitress and barely finds the time to eat. When she does, she eats a few mouthfuls and the rest goes in the bin. Louise bursts into tears as she makes the connection between her bad eating habits and her unhappy childhood.
Eddie tips the scales at a whopping twenty seven and a half stone and is a ticking time bomb. With a history of obesity related illness and death in his family he needs to radically change his diet before it's too late. Eddie breaks down when he receives a shocking video postcard from America, in the form of 40 stone Quentin from Hawaii.
Meanwhile the four anorexics reach the end of their series-long journey, and celebrate with a three course meal.
And Anna Richardson's investigation into getting the body beautiful ends at the beach, as she celebrates her lumps and bumps by running stark naked into the sea!
