Germaine Greer: Cheryl Cole is too thin to be a feminist icon

Academic also says Jordan is ‘destroying herself’

Cheryl Cole is not curvy enough to be a feminist icon, according to Germaine Greer.

The academic reckons the 25-year-old singer’s skinny frame doesn’t send out the right message to women.

‘There’s not enough of her – she’s too thin,’ she tells Gordon Ramsay on Cookalong Live. ‘A healthy girl is a fat-bottomed creature.’

Germaine, 69, also slammed Jordan, 30 – real name Katie Price – for her extensive plastic surgery.

‘She is destroying herself and that’s not pretty,’ she says.

Cookalong Live airs on Channel 4 at 9pm tonight.
