5 Gillian Taylforth - come and get it boys!Gillian Taylforth - Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!advert Claire Richards - er, sexy Claire Richards in a bikini

Gillian Taylforth and Claire Richards for Closer magazine

Better Best Forgotten

Tue, 16/03/2010 - 12:17 by HM writer

We are so confused. On the one hand, Gillian Taylforth is stripped down to her underwear but looks good and on the other, Claire Richards from Steps in a bikini but with the body that we'd imagine Taylforth to have and vice-versa... Anyway, more of Taylforth in lacy lingerie after the jump!

Gillian Taylforth looks almost decade younger than Kate Moss (despite recently turning 72) while Claire Richards unfortunately is beginning to resemble a badly drawn Sandra Burke from The Fat Slags in Viz...

Next week: Carol McGffin vs. Kerry Katona - topless.

Come and get it boys!

Claire Richards

"Gillian Taylforth meets Photoshop" shocker.....

Didn't Claire have a column laying down the law about how if SHE could do it so could everyone else? She looks like she's been morphed. She's fatter than before. No-one wants a Nadine Coyle but it takes so much work to lose the weight that to put it back on again....sheesh.

As for Kaffy she's obviously been listening to all the "Ooh don't you look like Kate?" chat. In the words of that motorway cop: "Put it away love."

And you always denied watching my VHS recordings of Steps. If I were you I'd look lively and go and clear the kitchen up before I use the word 'band' in the exact and meaningful sense. And no. Before you ask. *Withering look.

Mr HM - can I just confirm that the pics of Clare are recent?

Is Holy Moly morphing into Heat Magazine? Can we look forward to many more fascinating "Z-List Celebrity Loses Weight" / "Z-List Celebrity Gains Weight" stories? For fuck's sake Mopsa, borrow a copy of 'The Beauty Myth', read it and perhaps we'll have less of this crap which seems largely designed towards giving women a poor body image of themselves.

They MUST have airbrushed the celulite.

Taylforth looks like one of those competitive mums that goes out on the pull with her daughter.

Woman puts on weight shocker! Body image nazi's attack. How dare she? Wankers. I still would.

I dunno why Claire is smiling!!!! Or was lunch just wheelbarrowed into the studio as that shot was taken?

Clearly not enough Steps and rather too many Stannah stairlifts

Crikey, it comes to something when La Taylforth looks better than La Moss.

Who ate Claire from Steps?!
traceyisapunk Tue, 16/03/2010 - 13:55
Oh god no, what a disaster. Deep in the muckiest mental recesses of my mind there is an endless video sequence running of Claire from Steps dancing in a white bikini back in the early days.
It's now slowing crumbling into flames and dust....what the fuck happened? Did she eat the rest of the band or something?

ps I use the word 'band' in the loosest possible sense of the word.

She gave in to her love of food and the weight piled back on.
Ellectrika Tue, 16/03/2010 - 13:43
Err... didn't Claire just lose loads of weight ?? Why is she fat again?
