Size zero figure unattractive, poll finds

NEARLY three-quarters of women would like to be thinner but most think size zero figures are unattractive, according to a survey.

The poll, for TV show The Truth About Size Zero, discovered women admired curvy figures like Kate Winslet, Sophia Loren and Marilyn Monroe more than Madonna’s sinewy frame or Victoria Beckham’s slim build.

Less than a quarter (23%) of the 1,206 women polled were happy with their dress size and 72% wanted to lose weight, but size 12 was the most desirable figure (27%).
