FACTUAL

ITV 9pm (NEW) After spending most of her life morbidly obese, actress Lisa Riley became a weight loss inspiration when she shed an incredible 12 stone over 16 months.

She did it through diet and exercise, going from a size 28 to a size 12. But a cruel side effect is that she’s been left with a huge amount of excess skin - her ‘baggy body’. This documentary follows Lisa as she decides to undergo drastic surgery to have the skin removed.

She’s incredibly open, explaining how she feels cheated because despite all her hard work she is disgusted by what she sees. She meets other people who have had surgery to find out what the reality is.

And we watch (or not, if you’re too squeamish) as she undergoes two lengthy ops and has a stone of excess skin cut away. Despite all the pain and the scars, will it be worth it? YOUR HEALTH PAGE 33
