Samantha revealed she had been bigger in the past and said: “From personal experience you are more lethargic and more lazy.”
“What size do you say is acceptable?” Ruth asked as Samantha replied: “I know it’s going to get me into trouble, size six to 16.”
The fitness writer claimed many others share her views but are too afraid to admit to them.
Ruth asked: “Do you think that is the case with employers, they make that discrimination but just don’t admit it?”
“Absolutely,” Samantha said. “There is a big financial implication to taking on obsess people, they take off twice as many days as those who are slimmer.”
The Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am.
