Sue Cleaver issues warning to fans over weight loss scam

Soap star Sue Cleaver has taken to Instagram to alert fans to an online scam using her image and name to promote weight loss gummies.

She has now shared a video explaining that such stories are a scam and being “really, really sad” that she had to make the video.

Wanting to make her views clear, Sue stated: “I would never ever ever advocate anything like that.”

Frustrated with the scam, she then explained: “I have lost weight this year but not from any diet. I had some women’s health issues and I lost quite a lot of weight, too much weight. Life’s too short to worry about dieting and finding quick fixes. You’re a beautiful human being as you are.

“It’s a lesson to all of us. People sometimes lose weight for other reasons that actively trying to lose weight. So let’s just be kind to each other, let’s support each other.”

She then laughed: “I’m gonna go and eat a pie”
