Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh blasts Operation Transformation: ‘It’s FAT shaming’

RTE presenter Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh has hit out at Operation Transformation – insisting it’s basically a show focused on fat shaming.

The red-head presenter admitted that she has never seen the show because she “doesn’t think there is any need” to show overweight people standing in their underwear.

“It was never a programme I watched,” she told the Sunday Independent.

“I have been the person who did reality TV before. I know how everything is edited and I know how things are done and I don’t understand [why they do it].

“I call it fat shaming – and I don’t think there’s any need. There is no need to fat shame people,” she explained.

“Programmes that do that – and I know that they do their fitness too and they are creating an entertainment programme – but they all want their ratings and I am delighted for them but there is a place where responsibility is key.

“I am sorry but the real reason I want to lose weight is because I was getting to the top of the stairs and I was out of breath,” she added.

“I don’t want to die young and I don’t want to have a heart condition.

“That is the reality of healthy weight-loss and has more impact on people,” she said.

Celebrity Operation Transformation is currently airing on RTE with stars like TV3’s Elaine Crowley losing weight in front of the nation.
