Diana Dors diet adviser
NZPA London Pudgy Diana Dors, once a sultry, slender star of the silver screen, this week begins a new job on a British breakfast television show as a diet adviser. Miss Dors has pledged to tripi her abundant 90kg figure, which tipped the scales at just over 57kg at the height of her career, by a whopping 23.5 kg to help celebrate her fifty-second birthday in October. According to “The Times,” the dietary session is aimed at boosting the flagging fortunes of TV-AM, the independent breakfast show which has an audience of about 700,000 compared with about 1.5 million who watch the 8.8.C.’s programme. ' To show she means business, Miss Dors has shed 6.3 kg in the past seven weeks using her high-fibre diet. She says the secret of the 16-week course is that people can get on with it in the privacy of their own homes. She is strongly against strenuous-exercise classes. “The idea of a really fat lady rolling around the floor in a leotard is grotesque ... they do not want to show themselves to others who are more slender,” Miss Dors says.
