Women spurn size-zero look
Nearly three - quarters of women would like to be thinner - but most think size zero figures are unattractive, a survey found.
The poll 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.
Twenty-three per cent of the 1,206 women questioned were happy with their current dress size and 72 per cent wanted to lose weight, but size 12 was seen as the most desirable figure, with 27 per cent preferring it.
Ninety per cent of the women questioned said the US size zero - equivalent to a UK size four - was unattractive.
Pressure to be thin was felt most strongly among the 16-34 age group (54 per cent). The survey was carried out for The Truth About Size Zero, to be shown (in the UK) on ITV1 at 9pm tomorrow..
