• HOLLYWOOD,

where eating and drinking is generally frowned upon, has always been a sort of fat camp for British celebrities. Last year saw Adele drop the equivalent of a small child in excess weight. Now James Corden, 42, has been unveiled as the new face of Weight Watchers, saying he’s ‘fed up’ with the way he looks. Good for him. But it’s hard when your whole persona has been based on being the funny, relatable, fat fall guy. By all means shed the weight, Smithy. But please don’t also lose your sense of humour along the way.
