Sharon Osbourne has complained about people who ridicule those who are overweight.
"When you're larger you can't even get your feet in everyday shoes. You seriously can't. They're so wide," Breakingnews.ie quotes the X Factor judge as saying.
She added, "When people make flippant remarks about overweight people they have no idea how much that hurts. It really, really hurts. People feel sorry for drug addicts, but they don't feel sorry for food addicts; there's no sympathy or concern.
"It's, 'Oh, you're a fat pig. You stink. You're weak.'"
