Big Brother's Spencer told to lose weight

Big Brother's Spencer says modelling agency Select has told him he is too heavy to be a model.

The former housemate has been instructed to stop drinking beer and aim to make his face thinner.

But he says he doesn't want to lose weight.

He told Heat magazine: "I said 'You know what I looked like before you signed me up, I was on TV constantly for four weeks.'

"I'm not going on a diet because I don't want to lose weight. I'm never going to look like Alex or the skinny blokes in pictures on the walls of the office and if that means I can't be a model then so be it."

I'm sure I read this in another Spencer interview, but I can't remember which one now.

Good for Spencer! I fail to understand the model agencies' blinkered view that all models should look like stick insects, when the vast majority of the general public don't!

Alex appeared to be naturally very lean - even Kate had difficulty squeezing into his jeans.
