Weight watch: Poor Lucy Davis, from The Office, piles on pounds

We don’t mind bitching about pampered, preening A-listers caught with hairy toes or a big, lumpy backside, but when it’s someone we like, we feel bad.

So we’re going to try not to use mean words to describe Lucy “Dawn from The Office” Davis, who has gained weight, like, quite a lot, due to (according to the NotW), marriage problems.

Lucy married husband Owain Yeoman in 2006, and lost three stone to look lovely for the big day. Since playing dowdy (for that read: plump) Dawn in The Office, Lucy – Jasper Carrott’s daughter no less – slimmed from size 14 to size eight and won roles in Ugly Betty and Californication.

She said at the time:

“I wish I could be one of those people who is indifferent about their weight, but since I’ve lost weight I’ve had three roles—so that has to tell you something.”

But now, according to a source, the new(ish)lyweds are chucking the verbal plates and Owain is away filming and spending time at his old flat.

The ‘source’ told the News and Screws:

“Lucy and Owain have been rowing mainly because his career has really started to take off so he has been away from home a lot filming.

“Right now she is a bit down and her weight has gone up. Everyone is hoping they can get things back on track.

“Owain’s family were out visiting recently and witnessed how much strain their marriage is under and how unhappy Lucy is. They said she was just not herself.

“They still live together most of the time and I’m sure they get through this is. Lucy is a fighter and a brave girl. She is determined to make it work—and she’ll get her weight back under control as well.”
