In 2012, midway through an interview, actor Dani Harmer leaned over and showed the journalist the label tucked on the inside of her dress. “I wanted to prove to them that I was a size six,” she recalls. The
Tracy Beaker star was competing on
Strictly Come Dancing, and was, she says, “the fittest” she’d ever been. But people didn’t believe her. Social media trolls accused Harmer of lying about her dress size, while tabloids pointed to her “flabby tummy”.
