A shoplifter has been arrested after appearing on TV earlier the same day.

Jay Cole was caught stealing from a Sainsbury's store on February 27 when police officers played back CCTV footage and recognised her as the woman who had been interviewed on ITV's This Morning just hours earlier.



She took £42 worth of goods from the supermarket including cakes, pastries, biscuits, sandwiches, champagne and soft drinks, reports The Mirror.

Cole, who weighs 22 stone, appeared on the programme to discuss her difficulty finding a job due to her weight.

"I am a victim of fattism," she told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

"If I go for an *interview, people just roll their eyes when they see me walk in. I want to work but people won't hire me.

"Why should I change who I am? A job is about qualifications, not because you look a certain way."

The 24-year-old, who had also robbed from the same shop eight days earlier, was cautioned by police for two counts of theft.
