Heaton 'hurt by CBB weight taunts'

Michelle Heaton has said that she was hurt by comments from the public about her weight when she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother.

The former Liberty X singer told Closer that she is now entirely comfortable with the way she looks.

Heaton said: "I was a size 8 to 10, but there were still people on chat forums calling me fat. It was horrible and it still hurts that even one person thinks I'm overweight.

"I'm naturally curvy. No matter how much weight I lose, I'll never be able to get rid of my hips. I prefer to make the best of my natural body shape by working out."

She added that she now eats a diet that includes cereals, rice milk, egg-white omelettes, vegetables, meat and fish, as well as having one day off each week for a roast dinner or take-away.
