One woman who knows the perils and highlights of being big is curvaceous comedienne, Dawn French. Gok asks her how important size is in making her who she is. "I'm sure there's an element of comfort for people watching me doing comedy because they think 'ah, look at her, she's that size but she can take the piss out of herself'," she admits. "That's OK as a starter."
Dawn insists the most important thing is to be honest with yourself about how you feel.
"If someone honestly dislikes themselves being fat I wouldn't advocate that they remain fat," she explains. "You can change it."
And Dawn did - before she got married Dawn dropped from a size 20 to a size 12 - but it didn't make her happy. "That was not who I was, I didn't understand that thinner body," she explains.
