BB FANS

From the People ...

'When ex-TVam star Anne Diamond saw herself on Celebrity Big Brother a year ago, she got one BIG shock. "Seeing myself leaving the house was a wake-up call," she explains. "I knew I was big but that shocked me!"

At more than four stone over the ideal weight for her 5ft 5in frame, Anne says she was in such denial, she tried to ignore her dress size when it went above size 20. "Once I was that size, I stopped looking. It made it easier to think I wasn't so big."

But just like her first successful diet in 1999, when she lost four stone and brought out an exercise video, The Diamond Plan, she decided that was enough.

She halted her ballooning weight, quit scoffing cakes and started exercising, and in a year she's dropped four dress sizes and is a size 14.

Her final target is a size 12, but she already looks fantastic and feels so great that she's written a book, A New You: Start your Life Today, and has made a DVD and video with the help of her trainer, Jason Vale....'

I thought Ann looked lovely when she was on Celeb BB. She obviously didn't....so I hope she can keep her weight under control.

I felt ever so sorry for Ann, because she has a great personality, she is quick witted and very funny. Unfortunately the press had a great time putting her down because of her weight and her inner kindness was shoved to the sidelines.

She was absolutely lovely to Mark in the house and most of us saw what a great mum she was. It's not easy being left alone to bring up 3 boys as she has done.

After she came out of the house she was a guest on the Mathew Wright show for a week, she was definately the best female panelist they have had on the show in a very long time.

She's a diamond

I thought so to she was great on the wright show - but the press are allowed to be so cruel if you are overweight and as long as it makes her happy for herself and not to shut up the gutter press then Im pleased for her

Can I just say (almost 2 years too late?!) that I loved Anne Diamond on CBB.

There was one point when they were up doing their 'sewing task' and she was speaking about when her baby son died. It was really moving, and you have to give the woman credit - her actions after the death of her son have meant that fewer people have had to endure the nightmare of cot death..

I loved the way she went to the bathroom with her hood up...

and the way that other fellow - the nasty type - what was his name - Goldie - treated her was awful. She triumphed over all that, and I am grateful that I got to watch her for that week.

I think Avid Merrion might say 'I like her, she is warm!'
