Curvy Kate Winslet Tops UK 'Perfect Body' Chart

Actress Kate Winslet has topped the UK national poll for the perfect celebrity body with 16% of the overall votes and Kelly Brook took second place with 15%. Super thin celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss finished at the bottom of the poll, scoring just 1% each of the votes. Former Casualty actress and Slimming World Woman of the Year, Rebecca Wheatley, believes this marks a shift in people's perception of what is attractive. She says, "it's fantastic to see that finally women seem to be aspiring towards a healthy body shape that is realistic and achievable. It's definitely a step forward rather than persuading women to set their sights on being super thin, which can lead to misery when they fail to achieve their target..."
