Davina McCall, 50, slams "internet trolls" for 'thin-shaming' her
 
  • The TV presenter shared snap celebrating the fact she could still wear a bikini
  • She said it followed fears that latest birthday would leave her 'a little bit broken'
  • But she was shamed online as some suggested she was a bad role model for girls

Faded presenter Davina McCall has branded comments about her figure 'thin-shaming' after almost 4,000 people berated her over a picture of her in a bikini.

The faded television presenter was accused of setting a bad example for young women after uploading the shot of her emaciated figure to Instagram.

She said it was 'interesting' how a population that is 'becoming more sedentary' is open to thin-shaming but frowns on fat-shaming.

It comes after she sparked concern by sharing her first bikini snap of the summer last month, dividing fans.

The mother-of-three said that her latest birthday came with fears that she would become 'dried up, a little bit broken, irrelevant'.

But she says that she was filled with pride when she realised she could still wear a bikini and so decided to share the snap.

[“We’re becoming more sedentary and it is interesting how we can
thin-shame someone, but not fat-shame them,” McCall,
said in an interview in Style magazine.
“The comments about me being a bad role model were
hurtful because I just think, ‘How dare you?’ I am a good role model.

there’s a story to tell once the drink’s in

“Did i ever tell you lot about the time Davina McCall shat on my bed?”

I'm all for body positivity and that's fantastic but there is I would say a degree of responsibility that comes with being in the public eye and especially in the sphere of healthy living and exercise because that is such a minefield as everyones perception f 'healthy' is different.
Personally I wouldn't say those pics are in my opinion of someone who I would consider healthy, the jutting bone and the loose skin is potentially dangerous for someone who would view that as an achievable goal in order to be 'healthy'.

It's also important to remember that Davina is an addict an as such has the potential to become addicted to not only substances but routines and like any addict there will be denial, redirection and attacks at anything that suggest this is something that might need addressing.

Marsh. 29-07-2018 03:42 PM

Tough topic.

Hard to judge such complex things on a photograph. So, if she is indeed unwell, the trolling comments are not helpful. I'm sure she has people around her who will help her if needs be.

All we know is they are divorcing.

Nobody knows why.

Or is this "he left her" a sad attempt at misogynistic trolling?

Davina McCall announced her marriage was over.

She admitted: "I have made so many mistakes in my life."

Davina shared a motivational quote with her online followers on Friday 24 November 2017 which said: “Every morning we get a chance to be different. A chance to change. A chance to be better.

“Your past is your past. Leave it there. Get on with the future part.”

Davina added on Instagram: “I really know about this one. I have made so many mistakes in my life. But there is always a new day.”

She then confirmed she had split with Matthew, father to her three children, after 17 years of marriage.
