Apply for weighty role on Embarrassing Bodies

BAFTA-award winning Channel 4 show Embarrassing Bodies is on the lookout for people battling the bulge from Telford.

Producers are currently working on episodes focusing on medical issues related to obesity.

They said programme-makers hoped to film in Telford as it had one of the highest rates of adult obesity in the country.

Tina Curley, for the show, said Embarrassing Bodies would be making a number of programmes called Battling the Bulge.

She said: "This time round we are keen to hear from anyone in the Telford area who is overweight, has weight management problems or is struggling with a weight-related medical condition."
