Scarlett Moffatt should switch off her Gogglebox and do something about her ballooning weight before it’s too late
Sun columnist says Gogglebox star, whose weight has ballooned to the point where her doctor warned she could develop Type 2 diabetes. is no role model for young girls
YOU will have seen a lot of Gogglebox’s Scarlett Moffatt of late. And there is plenty to see.
It appears Ms Moffatt has not only sat on the tuffet but eaten it as well.
As part of the publicity surrounding her upcoming book — a certainty for the New York Times best sellers list, don’t you think? — she reveals her weight has ballooned to the point where her doctor warned she could develop Type 2 diabetes.
It’s all that sitting on the sofa. Perhaps she should sue Channel Four.
Ms Moffatt reveals that the doc also said her BMI was too high. He didn’t have the courage to mention her BMB — Bloody Massive Bum.
Although Ms Moffatt probably hasn’t enough brains to keep her bottom cheeks apart, she has done all young women a favour by warning about the threat of diabetes.
There are now four million people in the country with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes which can change your life forever and not in a good way. Plus, as a little-known fact, it kills 24,000 people a year.
Round my way there is a college for 16 to 18-year-olds where the size of the girls is quite shocking.
That’s now. What on earth are they going to look like when they reach their mid-thirties with a couple of kids?
What voice will these teenage girls listen to?
Perhaps if she is prepared to get out of her chair and switch off the telly, Ms Moffatt might be the answer.
— IT WASN’T really my issue as I wasn’t picking up the bill this time (the pleasure went to my friend the super-agent Jonathan Shalit) but I was astonished that the fashionable River Café in Hammersmith, West London, charged £20 for a bruschetta starter.
For those who don’t watch Rick Stein, that’s a very small piece of toast with tomatoes on it.
I presume the food cost 45p and the Italian name for it was £19.55.
On Saturday 100,000 folk turned out in the capital for a trade union- organised (what’s a trade union, Daddy?) anti-austerity march.
What austerity? At £20 for bruschetta there’s clearly more money than sense out there.
Perhaps the TUC should start a new campaign with the slogan Bruschetta For The Brothers.
Who knew dull John was secret sex bomb?
MUST say I am astonished by the weekend sex life revelations surrounding Cabinet minister John Whittingdale.
I have known him for the thick end of three decades and always viewed him as a decent guy but a dull old spud who would bring a tear to a glass eye.
How wrong I was. I am grateful to Stephanie Hudson, above with Whittingdale— a former porn star and as a Page Three girl one half, with her sister Samantha, of the Boobie Twins — for opening my eyes.
In brief Ms Hudson, a mum-of-three whom he dated off and on for a couple of years, revealed they had:
— Been thrown out of the American bar at the Savoy (at their prices you would normally have to be thrown IN) for drunken heavy petting.
— Gone to the Commons where he turned off the lights to avoid being caught kissing and groping on CCTV.
— Was double timing her with a dominatrix (as you do).
Prior to Ms Hudson’s insight, the idea that Mr Whittingdale was taking his trousers down faster than Tom Watson was taking his Krispy Kremes down was ludicrous.
Although Labour are trying to whip up a storm they are wasting their time.
Mr Whittingdale is a single man who didn’t endanger the nation’s security nor compromise his position as Culture Secretary. His job is safe.
The uncomfortable disclosures by Ms Hudson did force him to pull out of a Vote Leave speech in Oxford.
That seems to be the first time he has pulled out in years.
—THE IMF (the Institute of Miserable Fraudsters) warns that Brexit could not only damage the UK but have global effects as well. These are the same people who forecast that in 2009 global growth would be a booming five per cent whereas the actual figure was -0.6 per cent.
Trust your instinct and treat June 24 as Independence Day. Unless of course you have always wanted to see half of Africa strolling up the A2.
— THEY’RE at it again. These are the first photos of Craig and Lee Lummis, a father and son team who pocketed a fortune by encouraging pensioners to cash in their pots and invest in Ethical Forestry, which went bust after the directors took out £14.2million.
This time the Lummis family are flogging Brazilian property. The minimum investment is £3,000 for a condominium development in the north of the country.
Allegedly the money will be used to build roads and you will earn 11 per cent a year for three years and then your capital back.
Don’t touch it with a bargepole. These charlatans are unregulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and therefore you have no protection. Put down the phone if they cold call.
Apparently they get their leads through pension review surveys, so don’t fill them in.
They trade through their website avacadefuturesolutions.com.
I believe the Lummis mob live somewhere in the Manchester area but may have moved lately – probably to a mansion with their 30 per cent of all the money they raised for those crooks at Ethical Forestry.

JAMAICA is pondering dumping the Queen as Head of State. While they’re at it they should scrap their flag (introduced on independence in 1962) and replace it with a more accurate picture of what their island brings to the world . . . a healthy cannabis plant.
HAVING seen the size of centre forward Chris Martin on Saturday I wonder if it would make more sense for Derby County to replace the shirt logo of club sponsors Just Eat with one saying Just Eaten.

— A FRIEND of mine on a train heading to Northampton remonstrated with a half-drunk young thug on his mobile and was told: “You’re lucky, mate. You’re too old to beat up.”
Who said there weren’t advantages to the ageing process?
— THE Bar Council has just kicked barrister and part-time judge Constance Briscoe, 58, out of the “profession” for her role in the Chris Huhne points affair.
She was accused of the following: “Engaged in conduct which was dishonest and discreditable, engaged in conduct prejudiced to the administration of justice and diminished public confidence in the legal profession.”
On that basis there wouldn’t be anybody left in the legal world.

Answer: A doberman.
— COLUMN reader John Galajsza has a five-bedroom detached house in Essex (good for him) where he was paying £1,109.79 for home insurance. He took my advice to go on a comparison site and is now paying £480.21 with Staysure, a saving of £629.
Same with reader Michael Grady who had car insurance with Direct Line at £930 and switched to Hastings Direct for £382, a saving of £548. Why put the money in a broker’s grasping pocket? Keep it in yours.
