Men would have to be mad to fall for that

Remember when Lily Allen declared that body dysmorphia made her think she looked like Michelle McManus? Well, in no way related to that or the subject of distorted self-image, the Pop Idol winner herself has just had a Christina Hendricks makeover! She's the one on the left in the above picture, just in case you weren't sure..

McManus, who now presents Scottish show The Hour, has spoken about her new  sexy screen siren makeover to the Daily Record (who describe her as 'bubbly' within the first 200 words), saying:

"I took a picture of Christina into the salon to show them the colour I wanted to be.

"I love my new look. I think it's here to stay for a good while.

"Wee grannies come up to me when I am shopping and kiss me and tell me how lovely I am.

"And when they meet me, they all, to a man, tell me how much smaller I look in real life.

"People on the street are so wonderful and so complimentary."

However, she adds:

"When I dyed my hair red, I got a huge response, and while the vast majority were incredibly positive, I did get a few really, really horrific emails.

"Some are so horrid they make me cry. Most of the time, it's water off a duck's back and if you are on TV then you do leave yourself open for criticism and comment. But I can't help being a little bit nervous about how people will respond."

Well this is nail biting, isn't it - which way will it swing - hugs or tears? And who's the January Jones with the crimpers?

  • Did that Irn-Bru provide the 'inspiration'? And what IS that shade anyway - Carcinogenic Sunset?

  • As much as I just did a little wee after reading this, I once saw her in Glasgow Wagamama's and was surprised at how much smaller she was. Massive arse, but just normal chunky Glaswegian girl on the top.

    Mind, living in Glasgow for six years tends to distort ones idea of body shape/correct diet/acceptable levels of alcohol consumption/appropriate amounts of body fat one human being should carry...

  • I've always found the flat chested fat girl a facinating creature, was it an obsession to grow a pair that led to gluttony? Or was it depression at not having any that led to gluttony? Either way, she looks more like jimmy hendricks(x).

  • Bless her heart, she looks like Barbara from the League of Gentleman after a shave.
