This Morning has been praised for a frank and informative segment on weight struggles after ITV presenter Alison Hammond tearfully opened up about her own battle last week on the programme.
This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby sat down with ITV physician Zoe Williams and obesity campaigner Sarah Le Brocq to discuss the condition and why it should be recognised as a disease.
Sarah noted that genetics is a “huge part” of obesity and also stressed that it is not a choice, advocating for those living with the condition to have greater access to support and services.
