Cheryl Fernandez-Versini: playing down weight concerns

Pop star and X Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has hit back at repeated remarks about her slim body size.

The former Girls Aloud star said "there is no cause for concern" amid suggestions she is underweight.

The 32-year-old told the Daily Mirror: "Right now I feel like we are facing a lot of body issues in general - girls expected to have big booties, girls with thin legs - and it's impossible.

"It needs to slow down, or stop. It's highlighting body insecurities and it's not right."

Fernandez-Versini explained that energy-draining days on The X Factor set left her with little time for exercise, but there was no reason for her fans to be concerned with her weight.

She told the Mirror: "It's nice that people are concerned, but, honestly there's no cause for concern. You can see I am completely and utterly well and happy."
