Big, Plus-Size, Obese – Who Are You Calling Fat? takes a group of larger sized people and asks them what they think about their physiques

In Who Are You Calling Fat?, nine plus-size people move in together to share their experiences about being overweight (Monday, 9pm, see our TV Guide for full details).

Among them is fat-positive activist Victoria, 34. She has what she likes to call a “bigger body”, eats “intuitively” and loves the way she looks.

But not everyone in the group agrees with her. Babs, 50, has always struggled with her weight, and feels extremely self-conscious about showing even her bare arms.

Courtney considers a dip in the pool

Jack has reversed his Type-2 diabetes through exercise, but admits he struggles with diets, and Del reveals he had surgery in order to shed 10-stone.

The conversations in the house are heart-felt and raise the issues of body image and health at a time when obesity is a national concern.
