This week sees the end of the groundbreaking documentary series that provides a revealing insight into the complex world of women’s beauty, using candid testimony from celebrities and everyday women across the country. Tonight’s instalment examines issues women have with their size –both height and weight.

A My Body Hell survey suggests that British women worry about their bodies every 15 minutes; 98 per cent of them hate their figures and half of them lie about their weight. Women in Britain spend £1billion a year dieting, and millions on cosmetic surgery. Britain is a nation that is obsessed with image, and this series asks the burning question on everyone’s lips: why?

This week, real women and celebrities reveal what they really feel about what nature gave them. One contributor is Jude Legge, a woman who stands four inches taller than her husband. What is it like towering above her beloved? Can she wear heels? And how does her husband feel about being dwarfed by his spouse? On tonight’s show, Jude reveals all.

This groundbreaking documentary series provides a revealing insight into the complex world of women’s beauty, using candid testimony from real women across the country. This evening’s instalment examines the issues women have with their legs, bums and tums.

In a British television first, My Body Hell takes viewers inside the bathrooms of female celebrities and everyday women as they pluck, squeeze and shave their bodies to within an inch of their lives. The series also asks why the vast majority of women hate their bodies when, in reality, they are perfectly normal and attractive. Unique in its genre, My Body Hell does not attempt to make women over, but rather encourages them to love and accept their bodies –freckles, stretch marks, wrinkles and all!

The focus of today’s edition is legs, bums and tums –from cellulite to implants and ‘bum facials’ to varicose veins.

After Claire-Louise’s son was born, she had thryroid problems and ballooned from a shapely size ten to a size 30. Weighing 26 and a half stone, Claire-Louise had a gastric band operation and shrank back down to a size 14. Unfortunately, Claire’s skin has not shrunk with her and she has been left with what she describes as “bucketloads of cellulite” and spare skin all over. She now hopes to have what she calls a “lift, tuck and suck” operation to return her body to its former state, but will she be able to get it on the NHS?

The focus of today’s edition is the face, which is one area upon which women seem more than happy to lavish cash in pursuit of perfection –from blemish-free skin to perfect peepers, bee-stung pouts and salon-perfect hair. Last year, British women spent a massive £1 billion on cosmetics – more per head than any of our continental cousins.

My Body Hell is a contemporary factual entertainment programme, a series which gets to the heart of women’s body issues including the most secret and embarrassing regimes women follow to get rid of unwanted hair, get better breasts, bottoms and tums.
