The former BBC journalist has recently criticised The Grand Tour host, Jeremy Clarkson, 59, for writing about obesity in children and telling people to target the children’s parents to tackle the problem.
Wanting to make her point loud and clear, the presenter wrote to her readers in her latest MailOnline column: “He wrote over the weekend, ‘I would urge the thin and the good-looking to step up their fat attacks.
‘Blow out your cheeks when passing us in the street. Because if we, the grown-ups, stop being fat, then it’s likely our children will stop being fat as well’.”
The journalist then went on to insist the show host had crossed the line.
She said: “Britain’s top ballet dancers said that the effects of fat-shaming are so damaging that it should be treated like racism.
“She’s backed up by 100 academics, who say weight-based prejudice is rife. The NHS, they claim, leaves the overweight feeling stigmatised and shamed,” Susanna concluded.
