TOWIE’s Danielle Armstrong refused 'quick fix' weight loss jab for disturbing reason
Share:
Mum of two Danielle Armstrong says she can totally understand why some women - especially women - feel under pressure to seek out a quick fix in the form of the so-called skinny jab. The former TOWIE star, who has spent the last eight years expanding her knowledge about health and fitness and helping others gain confidence, says she now sees the jab "everywhere", but would never go near it herself.
In an exclusive chat with OK!, the 36-year-old, who gave birth to her youngest daughter Una in summer 2023, explains how she developed and maintained a healthy attitude to weight loss and body confidence. "Look, I’d never judge anyone," she says of a weight loss quick fix. "If I didn’t have my plan, I might have considered a quick fix, like the skinny jab, but that’s definitely not for me.".
She continues, "I’m seeing it everywhere. If it’s prescribed by a GP, that’s different. But in my opinion, it ages people. When you starve yourself, you’re depriving your body of fuel. It’s like trying to get a car to drive without petrol.". Danielle, who shot to fame when she joined TOWIE in series 10 back in 2013, says she can also appreciate the negative impact of people comparing themselves to others, especially when it comes to social media and being a new mum.
"[After Orla's birth] a few of my friends in the industry had babies around the same time, like Ferne [McCann] and Kate Ferdinand – and sometimes you compare," she says. "They’re all beautiful girls and everyone’s different, so this time I didn’t do the comparison thing, and it was a lot easier.".
