Scarlett Moffatt is praised for encouraging fans to love their body no matter their size

Scarlett Moffatt encouraged fans to love their bodies no matter their size.

The Gogglebox star, who previously admitted that doing her fitness DVD was the "biggest regret" of her career, hit out at a chart measuring body shapes.

The 31-year-old shared a photo of a chart with diagrams of different body shapes with names like "lean column", "pear" and "full hourglass".

Under each body would have been advice on the best type of clothes to wear for those specific shapes, but instead under each one it simply read: "Dress how you like. It's your body."

Scarlett, who has spoken very openly about her relationship with her body and weight loss, captioned the image: "How to dress for your body shape and size #loveyourself".

Fans flocked to the comment section to praise her for the dose of body positivity.

One wrote: "I literally tried to find my shape and read up on it, then I realised it all said the same. It made me feel so much better. Thank you for this."

Another added: "I was about to launch into a rant when I saw the pics then read the descriptions! Absa-f******-lutley!"

"You are so right!" a third replied with a kissing emoji.

"Thank you Scarlett, you have made my day xx" another user chimed.

Shortly after Scarlett was crowned queen of the jungle on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! she was advised to release a fitness video called Scarlett’s SuperSlim Me Plan.

The TV presenter lost three stone during that time, which she claimed was from following the gruelling exercise regime and consuming 1,200 calories a day.

But in 2018 the plan was exposed to be a sham as she had actually shifted the weight by living off just 300 calories a day in order to slim down at a dangerous speed.

She still refers to the DVD as the "biggest regret" of her career and opened up about her experience on the BoobShare podcast.

“Something I don't talk about ever is an ad on a fitness DVD, which I always say is like, my biggest regret,” she revealed.

“But what people need to understand is, I was so young, like I was in my early 20s.

“I was working in an office, I was very new to this [celebrity] industry.”

She continued: “I had no representation and it seemed like a good thing at the time.
