'FAT' TV MODEL'S KIDS TALK
11/04/2007
THE controversial female winner of TV's Make Me A Supermodel is to tour schools to warn kids about the dangers of anorexia.
Jen Hunter, 24, landed a modelling contract after winning the public vote on the Five show last year - despite being branded "fat" by the judges.
Now the size 12 model from Wigan says she never wants her daughter Kairah, two, to be bullied like she was at school.
Jen said: "At some points I was bullied for being over-weight.
"When I went through my divorce from Kairah's dad I lost so much weight and dived to a Size 6 or 8.
"I want to go into schools and tell the girls that it's okay to have big thighs or large tums, you don't need to criticise each other.
"Ultimately, it's about giving girls the confidence to be happy with themselves and lead a healthy, balanced lifestyle."
Alex J, director of Jen's agency Cape London Models, said: "Hopefully they will realise you don't have to starve yourself to be a successful model."
