‘It’s been bigger, it’s been smaller, it will be bigger again’: Chrissie Swan says she is done discussing her body – after realising she no longer ‘needs to be thin to be happy’
Chrissie Swan has revealed that she is no longer keen to discuss her body after years of being asked about it in interviews.
The 46-year-old told this week’s issue of Stellar Magazine: ‘I did 10 years where the size of my [bottom] was the focus of every interview.
‘So when I stopped long enough to think about what I really wanted to do, talking about my body wasn’t included.’

She added: ‘Every interview tended to focus on my body or the fact that I’ve had children. There may not be anything else interesting about me, I don’t know.’
The former Big Brother star went on to say that she’s come to be at peace with her weight fluctuations.
‘It’s been bigger, it’s been smaller, it will be bigger again, it will be smaller again. Some bodies are like that, and that’s the way my body is,’ she said.

‘I started getting my nails done and enjoying leisurely strolls with no pressure and having blow waves and going down slides and using the swings and swimming with the kids and reading books and wearing bras that fit.
‘And guess what? My body does it all. Happily. And it’s not thin. You’ll be amazed at the perfect things your imperfect body can do if you let it!’ she concluded.
