Davina: ‘Stop Calling Me Skinny!'

Davina McCall has pleaded with online critics to stop labelling her as ‘too thin,’ and insisted that she won’t stop showing off the figure she’s worked so hard for.

The fitness lover has sparked backlash from fans with her ripped physique on Instagram recently, but she says despite what people may think, her famous six-pack isn’t down to endless hours of personal training sessions and starving herself.

Davina, 50, said, ‘We’re becoming more sedentary and it is interesting how we can thin shame someone, but not fat shame them. We have an issue with food as a nation and we need to do something about it.’

Insisting that her healthy lifestyle hasn’t gone too far, she added, ‘I do not live on protein shakes and have six hours of personal training a day. What gets me out of bed and keeps me motivated on the exercise front is how it makes my body look, but more importantly, how it makes me feel about myself.
