What do we make of Fern Britton fraudently pretending that Ryvita was the secret to her weightloss?

when it was a gastric band after all.





I say fraud as she is collecting £200,000 from Ryvita and her dramatic weight loss inferred it was down to the product. Even her husband help cover up the crime by claiming her weight loss was down to more excercise and eating less.

What do we make of Fern Britton fraudently pretending that Ryvita was the secret to her weightloss?
I doubt she even eats the stuff.
Reply:she is a fat lying munta !
Reply:Silly cow, giving it all "ooh look at me living on a bite sized Ryvita a day", I used to like her better fat!
Reply:It is naive of anyone to believe that someone being paid to promote a product on television is actually using it. It never occurred to me that she was.
Reply:I'm gonna sue the cow! Got through 16 boxes of the stuff every day and put on a ton before her confession!
Reply:Its not a ******* crime you moron leave the poor girl alone she still lost the weight didnt she and could problably just about get a ryvita in her stomach, there ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE **** WIT
Reply:she is a money grabbing,ugly fat pig,who lies same as there phone in's.
Reply:Fern Brittion is merely shown advertising the product. The only person to associate weight loss with the product is the viewer.





Fern Britton did not lie but she was party to subconsciously deceiving people and she can't have been ignorant enough to not understand that.
Reply:in the grand scheme of things i cant really say i give a toss - i would probably say good on her for doing something about her weight because it just isnt healthy, she obviously needed help and hopefully it is the inspiration to help her keep an exercise regime and keep fit





she probably saw how the press hounded anne diamond and decided to keep schtum because - they have now done precisely that to her
Reply:She looks kinda deformed now.
Reply:That means you would have to sue everybody who does an advert. I don't remember her saying that ryvita was the reason for her weight loss. You need to grow up and realise people in adverts are just saying things because they're paid to and nobody thinks it's true. Having your stomach chopped up is a major operation, although I'm not sure if a band is the same as a stomach staple.





I do think it's a bit of a shame as she was like a role model to tell women they could have a nice personality and be clever to be successful, but she fell to pressure of the media who were nasty to her because she didn't look a certain way.





I used to have bulimia when I was a gullible teenager because of women's magazines and that and I was only a size 12. I thought that I was abnormal because my thighs weren't as skinny as my skins as the airbrushed photos showed that.





I wouldn't call her a celebrity as she has a proper job as a Tv presenter. Celebs are idiots like Victoria beckham who get rich by selling boring stories every week about their private life for other idiots to buy. If her only job was talking about her private life and lying about her weight loss to magazines every day then I might say something about it, but her job is to present a TV show and it's none of our business about her weight really, is it? It isn't as if she needs attention by talking about her private life all the time.
Reply:She just advertising them she didn't actual state the were the reason for her weight lose dumb ****!





Its like saying David Beckham is claiming that Pepsi cola is making him a top football - NO he's just advertising!!!





Or Carol Vorderman actual used first plus to consolidate a load of her debts - NO she didn't, it was an advert!!





Need any more examples???
Reply:She looks fine to me whether big or not, but honestly, who gives a stuff? There are more important things to worry about. No disrespect intended to anyone else here. It's just that the way people (in general) swallow this celebrity nonsense drives me round the twist.
Reply:its hard to say , you could say that about alot of adverts tho couldnt you. Certain trainers make you run better, deodorant ads claiming you will pull women etc...





I dont like the comments about her being a fat cow etc...no need for that.





If i got paid what she did i d do it but then im a skinny moo lol
Reply:I liked her , and thought she was down to earth. Not anymore, Ann Diamond pulled the same trick, whose next? They just look silly foolish women. I doubt Ryvita would have used Fern Britton if they had known she had a ryvita in her hand and a rubber band around her stomach. Left with the tiny stomach, she could have a whole cooked chicken in her hand, she can only eat so much.
Reply:It wasn't.





She dieted, exercised and worked hard to lose all that weight.





= )
Reply:lol. I'm not really bothered as most celebrities are frauds anyway but I bet she keeps well away from the ryvita stalls from now on lol...
Reply:Now she's been found out -loss of credibility! that's the price she will have to pay for fibbing and return the £200,000
Reply:What's fraudently Dave?





Fern Britton is Fern Britton's concern.Why would anyone care?
Reply:LOOK. The woman had a gastric band 2 years ago and has been on a strict diet and exercise regime ever since.





She has lost the weight with some help but mainly with WILL POWER.





Leave her alone, she's a lovely bubbly lady and she does not deserve this vitriol.
Reply:As someone that has always admired her, the way she lost the weight is irrelevant to me. There are points in celebrity life where they are entitled to their private life, lets just leave them alone!
Reply:don't care, not bothered, why would you seriously spend your money on that crap anyway, save yourself some money, stick some creme fresh and salmon on your empty coco pops box, you'll get the same result. Anyone who had bought a product just because a celebrity has endorsed it needs to get out more.
Reply:be a ryvita eater never on ya life
Reply:Oh wow an advertisers uses someone that has not used the product. Come on do you think them fit people on them tv shopping channels really used them exercise equipment. Or does your man on that annoying shouting add really clean his house so much.
Reply:Fern %26amp; her husband are liars,


plain %26amp; simply the lowest of the low.


there's nothing big or clever about lying.





I'm not impressed


Nor do I find it easy to excuse lying, no matter the situation.


but I'm not surprised, celebrities do it all the time.


lie that is.


jennifer lopez insisting she was in no hurry to shift her flabby belly after the birth of her twins,


then her friends let it slip, she's up at 5 every morning, with a personal trainer.


victoria beckham %26amp; her saying she hasn't had a boob-job.


pull the other one......................


they all bloody lie.


having millions means you're above everyone else!
Reply:to be perfectly honest, i really couldn't care how she's lost the wieght, and i don't mind her being assiciated and earning money from the ryvita people, if it encourages a few people in this disgustingly obese nation to start to eat properly.
Reply:I am in two minds on this one. One the one hand, she is a person with rights, and she should be allowed to do whatever she wants to herself. By not telling the public what she did, she hasn't broken any 'rule'. People in the public eye do not have to broadcast their private lives and decisions.





However, as a role model for the 'cuddly' woman, and as someone advertising a low fat food product, she does bear a certain responsibility to ensuring the public isn't duped into believing in something which isn't true. I don't know if she ever said diet and exercise was the secret to her weight loss. If she did, then this is somewhat misleading.





However, if you think about the consequences of her saying "actually, I had stomach surgery to lose the weight" rather than advocating diet and healthy eating, she would be in many ways MORE irresponsible. After all, everyone knows surgery should not be the answer to weight loss. It should always be through healthy means.





So really, the only loser here is Fern Britton herself. She has put herself through surgery when she could have lost weight the right way if she had put the time and effort in. I lost a lot of weight through diet and exercise, and I have kept it off. I see no reason why she couldn't have done that too. Instead, she has opted for surgery, where she is now limited to eating miniscule portions for the rest of her life, and now everyone knows what she did. More fool her.
Reply:If people r sooooo stupid t believe Ryvita or slim fast do the trick, why would you blame her?


She cashed in on people stupidity good for her.
Reply:but her weight loss was due to eating less, stupid ! and as for ryvita did it say anywhere in the adverts that she eats it and it made her lose 5 stone ? no ? i didn't think so. lol x
Reply:she is either going to lose the contract or already has.
