Send Push

Jeremy Clarkson's daughter Emily became emotional during her latest podcast episode, as she addressed Luisa Zissman's recent Instagram post. Last month, the former BBC presenter fought back against trolls who made cruel comments about her physique after she shared two bikini snaps from her summer holiday.

The Apprentice alumna radiated confidence in a striking black and white two-piece, but sadly faced a barrage of body-shaming comments beneath her photos.

Hitting back at the critics, Luisa subsequently published an extensive statement defending her figure and fitness levels, while expressing her views on unhealthy habits.

Her post included: "Imagine I went round calling of you biscuit eating McDonald's loving lazy people fatties", before explaining that her physique resulted from "energetic, health and mostly clean living".

"If you got off your a***s and stopped shoving s**t in your mouths you wouldn't be as fat and fat wouldn't be normal," she continued to rant.

"Just because the majority of people are overweight does NOT mean it's healthy."

She added: "Shocking that when people see a healthy body with a healthy BMI in a healthy weight range they think it's not normal."

During Emily and Alex Light's Should I Delete That? podcast, the duo discussed their perspectives on GLP-1 injections and Serena Williams' stance regarding them.

Subsequently, they referenced Luisa's social media statement and described it as "violently mean". Emily, a body positivity influencer, expressed her dismay, saying: "Luisa Zissman did those stories which I just thought 'bl***y hell'.

"They were horrible," Alex added, with Jeremy's daughter in agreement.

After Alex read out the BBC star's comments in full, Emily was moved to tears as she explained why she believes such words could be harmful.

She questioned: "So what if someone is a bit fat and likes eating biscuits, so what?".

Wiping away her tears, she continued: "Do you know how f*****g hard it is to just be alive, and like be a good mum, and a good person and a good friend, and do all of these things, and then you get talked about, and to, like that, and I just really thought we'd moved on and I thought we lived in a place that was better than this, where we wasn't so f*****g mean."

She went on to vent: "Thinness is not better, like you're not better than anyone else because you didn't have a biscuit this morning, like congratulations that you look good in a bikini!"

"What is it they say? If the words you spoke were written on your skin, would you still be beautiful? No! You look like a f*****g monster."

When her co-star asked if she was okay, she responded: "I'm sad, it's just really f*****g sad, what I want my kids to grow up being scared of being fat? No! I want them to grow up being scared of being mean. That's a scary thing."

In a defiant conclusion, she declared: "Be who the f**k you are, eat what you f*****g want, live your life!"

Alex continued, stating that while she believes trolls shouldn't have targeted Luisa's physique, she shouldn't have "taken aim" at individuals "living in larger bodies".

"It's just really mean isn't it," Emily added, concurring with her co-star that it was "violently mean".
