Earlier this year, formerGoggleboxstar Yvie Jones was widely praised when she refused to take part in a weight-loss challenge onI’m A Celebrity.

The segment usually involved each celebrity attempting to guess how many kilograms they have lost since they entered camp by scooping beans into a bag, but as Yvie approached the stand for her go, she turned to the remaining contestants to make an emotional speech of protest.

Urging viewers and fellow contestants to shift away from society’s focus on looks, Yvie said she wished these pressures would cease to exist.

“I wish we lived in a different world where what we look like doesn’t matter,” she said.

“You don’t know what its like to go through life and be judged solely on the weight that you are, or the clothes that don’t fit you properly.

“I feel like we’ve all been doing so well, and now we’re going to celebrate how much weight we’ve lost and how that’s something to be proud of. I don’t think it is something to be proud of.”

Speaking on the radio, Yvie said that seeing those scales was triggering.

It took her "back to every single time I’ve had to stand on a scale - at the doctors’ office or aWeight Watchersmeeting, at a friend’s house, or in your own bathroom," she said.

She shared that she doesn't see herself as a "body positive warrior" but she wants to inspire others to re-program their minds and embrace themselves for who they are.

"Unfollow anyone who makes you feel bad," she said. "It’s okay to 'unfollow' someone in real life as well."
