Dickinson labels Tyra Banks "fat"

Janice Dickinson has labelled fellow model Tyra Banks as "fat".

The reality TV star made the accusation while defending actress Jennifer Love Hewitt over suggestions that she had put on weight recently.

Speaking on The Today Show, she said: "Jennifer Love Hewitt is a healthy, not emaciated woman. She is a healthy girl. These are unflattering camera angles on her.

"You want to see someone fat, I'm sorry, Tyra, Tyra Banks is fat."

Dickinson went on to defend her remarks, claiming that she loved Banks and that she was just "kidding".

She added: "I'm kidding. I love Miss Banks. Tyra, you’re - you’re not fat. You’re just you."
