Britain’s Fattest People 2019
Episode 1 of Britain’s Fattest People introduces us to Claire, who is diagnosed as morbidly obese.
At the time of filming, Claire weighed 40-stone (254 kg) and was bedbound for six years, unable to leave the confinement of her bedroom due to her weight.
In the episode, Claire faces some serious consequences and is tasked with drastic lifestyle changes by local surgeon Nick Carter.
Daughters Tracey and Jasmine have to look after their mum, despite Tracey having two young children and a home of her own, leaving the large part of care duties on 19-year-old Jas.
Episode 2 of the 2019 series welcomes Andrew.
The 36-stone (228 kg) husband is recommended a new and experimental surgical procedure to help enhance his lifestyle and prolong his life.
However, Andrew must prove that he is committed to the cause of losing weight, sticking to a strict high protein diet that he will have to keep up for the rest of his life.
