Jac Jossa fumes after being called a ‘bigger girl’ and says it’s ‘insulting’ men don’t get the same weight questions
JACQUELINE Jossa has hit back after being called a "bigger girl" and says it is "insulting" that men don't get the same questions about their weight.
The 27-year-old actress fumed that she constantly gets asked about her weight and gets frustrated when she is "congratulated" about having a positive attitude about her curvy figure.

Jac said she thinks "every size is amazing and beautiful" and could not understand why women get questioned about their weight and men don't.
The former EastEnders star took to Instagram Stories and told fans: "I just want to quickly say something that's been annoying me for a little while.
"When I do an interview at the moment all that people bring up is like you're such an inspiration for the bigger girl and I'm absolutely happy for that, love it, no problem at all.
"But it's kind of insulting because they're like 'how do you stay so positive, body confident and look like that?' is basically what they are saying to me.
"I'm like nooooo, you can't say that."

The I'm a Celeb champion then raged that men who are larger do not get quizzed about their body.
She continued: "Do you go up to a male actor or reality person that's not got a 12 pack and then say 'go you, well done you for just being happy and confident even though you look like that' - they don't get told.
"Being a man in this industry, they don't get congratulated for being themselves."
Jac explained: "Sure I've got rolls but I'm not unhappy with my body. I am positive and I do think size doesn't matter.

"It seems to be in an interview, they would never ask a man - it always seems like a woman thing about women empowerment and body confidence, it's a weird thing."
The actress concluded her rant by mimicking Towie's Gemma Collins, saying: "I just wanna be me!"
The mum-of-two recently revealed that she had started a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet.
The star had kept quiet about how she'd changed her eating habits before revealing she's using a meal preparation company popular with celebs keen to shed weight.
