Who thinks Fern Britton from "This Morning" is wrong to have lied about her surgery?

I think saying that you've lost your weight through diet and fitness only- then later admitting to having had the gastric band fitted is quite bad - she should have told the truth from the begining - everyone on tv is a role model wether they like it or not.

Who thinks Fern Britton from "This Morning" is wrong to have lied about her surgery?
I think she is wrong to have said a whole different story!
Reply:I will say lieing is wrong, because that brings a bad name to those people who actual work hard and eat rights title. But she isn't wrong. How embarrising is it to go on tv and tell people you got gastric. Its better to promote naturally loosing the weight anyway, she may of been wrong, but it was for a greater good.



Everyone on t.v. isn't a role model, and they do actually get to choose. Its not their job to adjust themselves to be good for us, its our job to be smart enough to know better than to copy whats on a screen.



She may have lied but it isn't a conspiracy.
Reply:I don't think she was necessarily wrong to have had the surgery but I was disappointed that she lied. She's spent years claiming to be happy with her weight, then she's been telling everyone that it was just increased exercise (cycling) and a change to her diet which caused her recent weight loss. She is someone that many women look up to and respect and it was dishonest of her to lie to such a loyal fan base.
Reply:I guess she has her own reasons for not admitting the truth...... I mean look how many women lie about things such as their natural hair colour (''of course I dont dye my hair'') lol or that they dont use fake tan or they have not had their teeth whitened things like that, so maybe it isn't the easiest thing to admit..... I think if you are a role model it isn't really fair to be so misleading but maybe she thought she would inspire people to get healthier and loose weight
Reply:She has every right as a human being to keep parts of her life private.

Yes she is in the spotlight and is a rolemodel to some people...but everyone that looks up to her should also use their own common sense.

She obviously at the time felt that it was right for her not to let on about her surgery.

I actually think she should have kept lying.

Would you tell people that you had a gastric band fitted.....I know I wouldn't.
Reply:The fact that she hid this absolutely outstandingly important piece of news from us all is.............quite underwhelming ! ! !

SO WHAT if she did - it's HER business and HERS alone - and good luck to her for doing it too. Pity some of the fat lumps you see pushing prams around the likes of Aldi and Asda don't look after themselves a bit more like that albeit they can't afford the surgical bit - but they CAN keep their food intake down a bit to lose weight ! ! !
Reply:Not sure about this.....I suppose it would encourage people if they thought she had lost weight on a diet, and she has got the Ryvita adverts to consider,,,,would not look good for the advertisement would it, if they said the loss was due to surgery....I am sure she is not the only one to lie in such circumstances....but I bet that's the last we see of her on This Morning.
Reply:everyone is human hun. everyone can be economical with the truth at times. maybe being a tv personality she wanted to keep a little bit of her life away from the scrutinising media and public.after all there is too much pressure about size/weight these days.
Reply:Why does it matter? Let her get on with her life. I don't see why, just because someone is on tv, they have every inch of their life snooped into by some low life, then splattered all over the papers like it's life changing news. No I don't think she was wrong, just let it be!
Reply:I think its up to her wo she tells and why. If i had something like that done, i would only tell people who were close to me, i wouldnt want the whole of the uk knowing, she probably felt the same
Reply:She didn't really lie, she just never admitted that she had the surgery. She may well have adopted a healthy lifestyle when she had it.
Reply:Just dont buy her fitness DVD. A few celebs have had this type of surgery and then had the nerve to promote exercise and fitness DVDs.
Reply:weight is a very personal thing to a woman and im sure she was embarred about it and thats probably why she didnt say anything rather than being deceitful.
Reply:It is her own business and it is up to her whether she wants everyone to know or not.
Reply:Did you ever think she was really embaressed about it? She didnt want every one to know...any way the most important thing is that she came clean in the end.
Reply:And you have NEVER lied about anything !!!!
Reply:I think its her business, no one elses. Why do people like you even care its not like it directly effecting you is it??
