Nadine Dorries Sparks Awkward Silence During Weight Loss Chat

Things got a bit tense on This Morning when Nadine Dorries appeared on the sofa and made a comment that left co-hosts Rochelle Humes and Craig Doyle staring blankly at the camera — and viewers fuming.

During Thursday’s show, Nadine joined broadcaster Nick Ferrari to talk about weight loss injections, something she’s been very open about. Nadine shared that she’d lost two stone using Mounjaro, and was glowing about how much better she felt after shedding the weight. “I lost two stone on Mounjaro and it was amazing, I have never felt better,” she said. “I love the fact that I lost that two stone but it only just put my BMI just into the green zone”, reports Wales Online.

She explained her motivation was all about health. “I was pre-diabetic, I had high cholesterol, all the red flags ahead of me,” she said, and described how she’d managed to get rid of them. Even though she’s now within a healthy range, she admitted she wouldn’t mind losing another half a stone, saying, “Even though nothing fits me anymore.”

Nadine went on to say BMI still matters in some circumstances. “People say to me that a BMI doesn’t matter, but if you’re a young woman trying to get IVF, it does,” she said. “They won’t allow you on IVF until your BMI is at a certain point.”

When asked if she was still on the injections, Nadine said she’d be discussing it soon in her column, but warned that the treatment wasn’t easy. “It’s not for the faint-hearted,” she admitted, adding that she experienced exhaustion, chronic diarrhoea, and constipation. “Exhaustion was a big one for me, and I couldn’t get through the day without crashing out and sleeping for an hour.”

But the moment that set social media alight came when the conversation shifted to Nick’s weight. Nadine turned to him and said, “Nick, you’ve lost weight. How did you do it?” Nick replied, “Sheer will power and brutal exercise,” and just as he started to explain more, Nadine interrupted with, “Well, you need to lose more.”

Rochelle and Craig were left frozen, clearly unsure how to react, while Nick looked completely caught off guard. “That was a bit rude,” he said, but tried to brush it off, joking, “It helps if you’re getting married, of course. I want my wedding body.”

Viewers, however, were not laughing. The backlash online was instant. One person posted, “That is DISGRACEFUL for Nadine to make that comment about Nick. Absolutely disgusting!” Another added, “Get @NadineDorries off my telly! Vile!” A third chimed in, “Nadine is a disgusting bully, body shaming our poor Nick, I’m in utter shock.”

Some pointed out the double standards, saying if Nick had made the same comment about Nadine’s weight, there would’ve been outrage. “If Nick spoke to Nadine like that about her weight, there would be uproar,” one person wrote.

Others noticed the irony in her being sensitive to others’ opinions about her own weight loss journey, yet making such a cutting remark. “Nadine didn’t like the ‘easy fix’ comment but has no problem pointing out to Nick he needs to lose more,” another viewer commented.

The moment has certainly stirred up debate, and judging by the viewer reaction, it’s not one that’ll be forgotten any time soon.
