The Truth About Size Zero (2007x2)

Date de diffusion: Mar 07, 2007

Louise Redknapp discovers first hand the dangers of the current obsession with being stick thin when she undertakes an extreme crash diet and exercise regime in an attempt to drop to a US dress size zero in just 30 days. In The Truth about Size Zero Louise undergoes a punishing plan to dramatically lose her trademark curves and attempt to drop two dress sizes, this is a TV show that will engage all who watch it. The TV presenter, who was voted FHM’s Sexiest Woman of the Decade, is usually a size eight, but in The Truth About Size Zero she attempts to get down to a UK size four. After 17 years in the spotlight Louise is all too aware of the pressure to be thin and she agrees to put normal life on hold to find out more about the size zero trend and expose it for what it really is. “I grew up in the entertainment and music industry,” she says, “I went to stage school and I always wanted to be in entertainment and I have always felt even at a size eight that I have never quite been skinny enough….there was always (the pressure) that if I could have lost half a stone it would have been better."
