TV and radio presenter Kemp shared some of his own experiences with Grennan on the pressures of body image and around weight in show business.
“I can’t look at a picture of myself if it’s on the day because it will upset me for the rest of the day,” the One Show host noted.
“I’ll be judging everything, and it won’t be about what I’m actually doing, it’ll be about how I look. And I don’t want to live like that.”
The former model recalled witnessing one extreme example of such pressures for one young woman at a fashion show in Milan. “We were doing the rehearsal, and she fainted on stage,” he remembered.
“We tried to give her food, because she needs to eat, but [she was] straight up refusing,” he added.
“I saw that on a regular basis.”
Kemp also recounted how someone in a pub recently told him he looked “a lot fatter on telly”.
He said: “I fluctuate a lot, but that’s just because sometimes you’ll be working more, like anyone.”
