Natalie Cassidy

Clare Rayner may have tried to convince men otherwise, but size really is important – doubly so in the stick thin world of entertainment. Some though buck that trend and hit Greggs – and whatever the LA equivalent of Greggs is – with a vengeance. Here are a few people that have said no to size zero. But not, clearly, to the cakes. As much maligned lary blob Sonia, EastEnders' Natalie Cassidy took some stick. Then she left the show and, after six months of dieting and exercise, she dropped weight and dress sizes like they were going out of fashion. Her exercise video sold like hotcakes... Oh dear. Who mentioned hotcakes? Sadly Natalie has seen the weight pile back on and, according to friends, she's now so depressed about it she spends her days vegging out. And eating. We suspect she'll be squeezing back into the square one day very soon.
