Plus-size model Tia Duffy admits: 'Whether you admit it or not – we all want to be skinny'

Model Tia Duffy has admitted that she believes every girl wants to be skinny – no matter how confident they come across.

The Dublin native is currently filming a documentary with journalist Jenny McQuaile on the divide between skinny and plus-size models both in Ireland and the US.

While the size 14 model claims to love her body – she still can’t help but admire the size 8 girls.

Thin: Tia believes all girls want to be skinny minnies

“Whether you want to admit it or not, underneath it all, everyone wants to be skinny.

“It doesn’t matter who you are, or how confident you say you are, you look at the clothes hanging off a size-eight model and you say to yourself, ‘that looks amazing’,” she said.

While the 26-year-old loves being a plus-size model now, that wasn’t always the case in her younger days.

“Before I went to college I became fixated with the skinny scene,” she told the Sunday World.

“I entered beauty pageants and it was painfully obvious to me that the other girls were thinner.

“I really wanted to model but the only way I thought I could do it was if I lost weight,” she explained.
