It all started when they were driving along the Amalfi coast and Vicky said: “There is no way we are going to be healthy here, we are in the country of wine, cheese, pizza and pasta.”
Ferne then turns to her pal and says: “Do you know what Vick, I’m done, I don’t care anymore
“This whole bodyshaming thing really gets my goat."

She then says: “I’m sorry that I’m not a size eight, I’m sorry that I’ve got cellulite.”
Vicky interrupts her by saying: “You shouldn’t be sorry!”
Ferne then said: “But that’s how I am, I always compare myself to others, saying ‘I wish I looked like this person… I wish I looked like that person… I wish I was a size eight… I wish I was this’
“And all this has come from pure bodyshaming”

She then turns to her friend and says: “I look at you and see no flaws, no imperfections.”
Vicky then looks upset and says: “Don’t say that, I’m gonna cry.”
She then adds: “I’ve had a pretty rough time of it recently and I know you have as well.
“But mate, when you say, you don’t like your body or you wished you looked like someone else, that just breaks my heart.
