Twiggy thinks we're not meant to "be skinny".
The 66-year-old icon fashion icon - who shot to fame in the 1960s working as a trim 5ft 6inch tall fashion model - has slammed fad diets and would never torment herself by denying herself her favourite treats.
She said: "Everyone's built
differently. We weren't put on this earth to be skinny. I've always felt that. I happen to be skinny because that's how I was born - it was my natural weight and size. My favourite indulgences are chocolate and a nice glass of wine. I don't think diets work, personally. Anyone I've ever known who's lost weight on a diet puts it all back on again afterwards.
"There been a lot of publicity about obesity, and it's good at last the food industry is realising that they've got to cut down on sugars - so I think that's a positive."
