Natalie Cassidy: Fatalie Cassidy. Again.
July 14th, 2008 at 20:37 by Holly
Just a week ago she was whining about being bored with her size eight figure, now she’s crying into her cake because she doesn’t have a size eight figure
As a child, Natalie Cassidy aka Sonia Jackson was the fat little trumpet player of the fictional Jackson family in Albert Square.
Then she grew up, pawned her trumpet for pasties, got so fat she didn’t know she was (fictionally) pregnant by small-foreheaded Martin Fowler, gave birth to a small-foreheaded shock baby, piled on more pounds and piled face-first into (fictional) lady love, and then, err, we stopped watching, but think her character left Albert Square to pastures new.
Possibly Leicester or Southend judging by previous exits.
Anyway.
Fast forward a few years and she’s lost all the weight, is beaming from the pages of Closer and the like, showing off her tiny little waist and extolling the virtues of swimming and gymming. She even flogs a hell of a lot of exercise DVDs on the back of her transformation.
And then, in true Eastenders style, she started bloody moaning about it.
A ‘friend’ sold quotes to, sorry, our mistake, told Closer magazine:
“Natalie says the weight loss was too good to be true. She had a dream body she couldn’t maintain.
“She spent last weekend in tears about putting on weight.
“All that hard work has gone. It took months to lose it and weeks to put it back on.
“She’s realised we’re not all built the same.”
No, we’re not all built the same. But there’s a difference between not being skinny and being unhealthily fat. But she’s probably use either a) the metabolism argument or b) the naturally curvy argument.
Hold up, more from the friend!
“She says ‘My family’s curvy, I’m naturally curvy [a-ha! - Ed.] - what’s the point in fighting it’.
“She feels embarrassed. She didn’t want to be one of those celebs who made a DVD and then stopped practising what they preached.”
And yet she did.

Please give the poor girl a break! How would YOU feel (anyone writing or reading these types of comments) if you were in her shoes - not just naturally curvier and prone to gaining weight (which is probably regardless of whatever you eat) but in the public eye all the time, known for being ‘the chubby girl’ in a tv programme…?? People waiting to see what size you are all the time. Such pressure. It’s really not fair how women are constantly criticised about their weight - too fat, too thin?! Just leave the poor girl alone, not everyone can be a certain size, we are all different shapes and sizes. HEALTHY IS BEAUTY, nothing else, everything else fades with age (if lucky enough to live long) and it’s so cruel that the media project such FALSE images of ‘perfection’ that DO NOT exist! I only have a few friends who have an ‘ideal’, toned, slim figure and they are all very very athletic! This wont last either. All these stupid diets are unhealthy. Exercise moderately and regularly, eat healthily, drink plenty of water and avoid junk and alcohol. Whatever size and shape your body takes is fine… Natalie is NOT fat, no she is not a size 8 anymore but she is NOT fat, by far. She is a healthy and therefore BEAUTIFUL woman. I suggest reading Naomi Watts ‘Beauty Myth’.
