Former Hollyoakes soap star Mikyla Dodd, who weighed 25 stone (159kg) and fitted a dresssize of 28 when she appeared in the show as Chloe Bruce, defended overweight role models.
Now weighing around 200 pounds, she has gone from wearing a women's size 30 dress to a size 14 and she's gone from wearing a double-wide shoe to a medium width.
