Claire Young: I was papped in a bikini looking like Jabba The Hutt

Apprentice star embarrassed by unflattering snaps

Claire Young was mortified when she was pictured looking chubby on the beach.

The Apprentice 2008 runner-up says the snaps encouraged her to drop from a size 16 to a size 12.

‘Being papped in a bikini looking like Jabba The Hutt wasn’t great,' Claire tells Now Online.

'And there was another very unflattering moment on The Apprentice when I was sat in the back of the car, legs open, scoffing a packet of crisps.

'I noted there and then that I needed to lose weight.'

Claire is taking part in Run 10k for Cancer Research UK. There are 43 events across the UK this autumn and Cancer Research UK hopes that 60,000 men and women will come together to raise over £6million to help fund its life-saving work. To sign up visit www.run10k.org.
